    changing rooms

    family suite with kitchenette, large swimming pool, modern leisure center

    The dining experience lacked coherence, with delays and inaccuracies in food orders!!! The conditions of the leisure center's changing rooms leave much to be desired with broken lockers and lacking maintenance!!!

    spacious bar
    accessible location
    noisy hallways
    slow service

    I enjoyed the spacious bar area with a vibrant atmosphere for breakfast. The accessible location allowed easy exploration of local attractions. The pool offered a nice retreat after a long day.

    Noise from the hallway disturbed my sleep. A request for a lamp in my room took longer than expected.

    Fantastic Family Stay with Amazing Service

    Our family had a delightful three-night getaway. The breakfast spread was delightful, and we appreciated the generous room size. A standout moment was the attentive service at lunch, where staff went out of their way to accommodate our kids. Be sure to explore the nearby attractions!

    Family-friendly with a great pool!

    I had a lovely stay with my family. The kids absolutely adored the pool, which was warm and inviting, perfect for our young ones. The staff were incredibly helpful and made us feel welcome. The breakfast offered a good variety, but our experience could have been even better if the dinner service had been a bit more organized. Overall, we had a great time and would return!

    cleaning issues

    Spacious quadruple room with comfortable beds was ideal for our group of four. The convenience of the location made it easy for us to explore, and the fabulous breakfast was a highlight. Friendly staff added to the enjoyable experience. However, cleanliness issues, such as unemptied bins and a filthy high chair, were concerning and need attention.

    value for money
    bathroom update

    It was just a fine choice for resting at all in Galway with great value for the money. The bathroom definitely needed some updates as the chipped furnishings were noticeable. If you open a window for fresh air, be prepared for some noise from nearby AC units.

    culinary delights
    brilliant staff
    decent spread
    tight storage
    minor hiccup

    The restaurant served some serious culinary delights. the lamb dish was top-notch, and breakfast had a decent spread. The staff? Absolutely brilliant, making everything a joy!

    Storage in the room felt a bit tight, but honestly, we made it work! Just a minor hiccup in an otherwise great stay.

    welcoming décor
    ample spaces
    serene atmosphere
    missing amenities
    minor inconvenience

    The Connacht Hotel features a welcoming décor with ample spaces that were easy to navigate, making my stay comfortable. The accessibility to the nearby woodland walks provided a serene atmosphere to enjoy the beauty of Galway.

    A complimentary water bottle would have been nice.
