Great hotel with good sized room. Breakfast was very good and lots of options. Pool needs a face lift, feels very dated in comparison to rest of hotel.

The surrounding area was not lively but it was an easy 30 minute walk into the dining.pub area. Hotel was comfortable, good breakfast. Very convenient
Sue, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Solid hotel that kept all the balls in the air during a crazy week in Galway (end of arts festival, start of Galway Races). As large hotels go it was remarkably personable.
Myles, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at The Connacht Hotel were absolutely amazing, making our stay truly wonderful. Their exceptional service and warm hospitality made all the difference.
Anand, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly and welcoming

The hotel is very large and has an excellent bar, lounge area and very nice rooms. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Convenient bus service to get to the city centre and although it is walkable (i went down by the lough) there is a bus stop nearby for service to the city and to the racecourse
Christopher, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing property with wonderful kid friendly rooms. They had a kids club which my 7 year old enjoyed a lot. Restaurant was also amazing with a fancy afternoon tea service too!
Priyanka, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Huge hotel full of Irish families and parties — fun to see. Our kids loved the family room and of course the hotel breakfast buffet and pool.
Maya, 1-night trip

Overall good experience
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice with family

This place is well maintained. The breakfast was great with lots of options. My only complaint was that the pillows were either too fluffy or too hard. Staff was friendly, would stay here again. If you're looking for walking distance to the main part of town, this isn't for you.
Audrey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Large but quiet

A quick drive into the city from this hotel, we liked its location. Very quiet, fabulous bathroom, huge bed, nice staff. Would stay here again.
Steve, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at this property was exceptional. They let us leave our luggage after we checked out so we didn't have to haul it around the city until our train left.
Anita, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was so hot at night. Tried to open window but it was wedged shut. Reported it to reception next day and they said they would get it fixed. Second night the window still wasn’t sorted. Reported it again next morning on checkout. Hotel offered us “complementary tea for the road” which we declined. Haven’t slept in two nights and will be glad to get home very disappointed.
Raymond, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The gym was great and parking was easy.
MELANIE, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Worth a stay

Overall a nice experience but breakfast service is a bit laboured and chaotic even though it’s self-service apart from getting your own Tea and Coffee. They put a big emphasis on Green which is great. In our room there was some chipped paintwork and a few other cosmetic touch ups required. The gym is excellent.
Brian, 6-night trip
