So nice to arrive in an older Hotel to find that the rooms have all been recently renovated, new carpets, freshly painted and new beds. The beds are huge and very, very comfortable with good quality bedding. The receptionist who checked us in (an Australian girl) was lovely and gave us good recommendations. Overall very pleased with the Connacht Hotel.

I have just stayed in this brilliant hotel for 20 nights over the last 8 weeks for business. They could not have looked after me more, they made it a home from home. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The reception staff, the breakfast staff, the duty manager, the porter, general manager and the bar staff. I met so... More

It's been a few years since I was in the Connacht and it has changed management a few times since then. I found it to be very well ran on this visit. From check in to check out to the accommodation staff who were friendly to the quality of the bar food and breakfast. There is a focused team in... More

We stayed for 6 nights. Food was very good with a good variety for breakfast. The evening dinner menu was same every night. A bit of variation would be nice. The staff were very good and extremely helpful and polite in some difficult circimstances. One morning we were directed away from the usual Ruebens restauranct to Connacht room for breakfast....

I was very pleasantly surprised by this Hotel. The staff were amazing, extremely helpful and friendly despite the Hotel being very busy with several tours staying there. The Food was also very good, the portions generous and well presented. I would definitely recommend this Hotel.

We had a two bedroom suit. Five adults shared the two bedrooms which were connected by a living/kitchen. The rooms were very clean and each bedroom had its own bathroom. We walked into Galway city centre on the Friday afternoon the buzz was magic with street musicians on every corner. We ate in the bar that evening and everyone enjoyed... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in mid May. We stayed in a junior suite as we have 2 small babies and so the suite meant they could sleep in the lounge area and we then could stay up and watch tv in the bedroom, without disturbing them....the price of the suite (including breakfast) was very reasonable. The room was... More
