This hotel is still beautiful after we first stayed there 18 years ago. We're so happy the Olympia restaurant is in residence there, too. We love the architecture and decor. We love the location to the cruise, yes you can walk to the ship, and to the Strand, and Willie G's is right next door, as well as the historic... More

Really nice, clean, well placed hotel right on the ship channel with great views. Leave your car with them while on your cruise and WALK to the ship. Not badly priced either for Galveston. Our go-to pre-cruise home! More

We visited Galveston and Harbor House with 2 other couples. We sailed down from Kema (outside Houston) and tied the boat up at the hotel's slip overnight. 2 couples stayed in the hotel and 1 slept on the boat. I don't have anything bad to say about the hotel. The location is great and as good as we could hope... More

Thanks for staying with us and glad you enjoyed the hotel and marina. You are right, you really don't need a car when you are this close to attractions, dining, the cruise terminal, and the Historic Strand District. More

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel in early March. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is great, you can walk tot he strand and several restaurants and clubs. The room was spacious and well appointed. The staff was attentive and friendly. Great value as well. I would definitely stay here again. More

We booked this place so that we could stay in Galveston for one day upon completion of our Royal Caribbean cruise. The number one reason we picked this hotel was its location i.e. within walking distance of the cruiseship terminal. It is also within walking distance to "The Strand", the historic district of Galveston. The staff at reception was friendly.... More

A friend suggested this hotel and it's in a great location! You can park your car in their private parking lot and walk to the Strand and many shops and restaurants. The rooms are big-with couch, chair, coffee table, desk, fridge, and microwave. The biggest negative is the dark rooms. I can't even read, the lighting is so dim. I've... More

Arrived in town the night before our cruise. Asked the desk clerk how far to walk the net day. In the night the boat docked and you could see it was a very short walk to the boarding area. Hotel was wonderful. Right on the water. Great place for a run around the old town before boarding. Wonderful bars and... More

Thanks for staying with us. Yes, The Harbor House and Tremont House are the closest hotels to the cruise ship terminal - just 2 blocks. Here, you are in the heart of it all as you mentioned - walking distance to an array of shops, restaurants, and bars. Please come back soon. More

We had a comfortable stay. The rooms are nicely decorated and the beds ensured a good sleep. The strangest thing was the lighting - we never managed to quite fathom out how to work it! (got to grips with the dimmer but then lights would turn off and not go on again?!?!!) 'Continental' breakfast was disappointing - but then discovered... More

We stayed at the Harbor House hotel in Galveston for the second time this January. We loved it three years ago and loved it again this time. The hotel is perfectly located for a pre cruise stay - we walked to the Carnival pier in five minutes. The room was large and comfortably appointed with a lovely view of the... More
