Hotel The Connacht Hotel
Dublin Road, Galway, Ireland – Great location - show map
In spite of COVID we felt very comfortable here & would definitely stay again.
IrelandThe pool was very kid friendly. It was definitely the best thing for a 3 and 5 year old, and it was open early, which was great for jet-lagged travelers. The gym was incredible too.
United States of AmericaRoom was pretty large and comfortable. Bathroom seemed a bit dated, but everything was clean and working. Breakfast was absolutely amazing. Live music in the bar in the evening with efficient staff and great atmosphere. Judging by how many kids there were around the place is really family-friendly. Best gym / swimming pool I have seen in a hotel so far (i.e., you actually do a proper training if you are a gym-goer. Which is great!).
JerseyThey made our stay really special, it was our anniversary. Food was great too. The hotel made up for the bad weather. Highly recommend this hotel
IrelandGreat hotel especially for families with kids - they would certainly appreciate hotel swimming pool. Nice restaurant on site with decent kitchen. Free parking on site.
RussiaThe breakfast was great and lots of selection. The staff were fantastic and the rooms were a good size and very clean.
CanadaSusanna at the front desk is fantastic! She should get a promotion and a raise. Her hospitality is amazing.
United States of AmericaGood location, only 20 mins walk to Eyre Square, plenty of parking. Enjoyed the leisure centre too, bit on the older side but very clean and comfortable.
IrelandVery helpful staff..we forgot valuables in the hotel and the staff in the lost and found department were very kind to post them to us.The play area for the kids was great .The food was good.location is perfect.
