Hotel over all well put together but they need to do a better job notifying guest of the construction work.

Large hotel seemed well run.

No one mention it was under construction. We were given a room that seemed to be “finished” that day. Room was not ready for guest. Bathroom dispensers not hung on wall, my 4 yr old found a screw on the floor. Fixtures not secure on wall. It was tossed together. 7am wake up when they started construction in the room next door.

Recht enttäuschend für den hohen Preis!

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und das Abendessen auch sehr gut, gerade auch die Kindergerichte waren lecker und kamen schnell

Das Hotel ist irre laut vor allem in der Lobby, im Restaurant und den Zimmern. Es sind jeden Tag regelrechte Busladungen von Gästen die durch das Hotel geschleust werden - Familien, Busreisen, Junggesellenabschiede, alle zusammen im selben Bereich untergebracht d.h. Nachtruhe eher schwierig. Der Poolbereich ist uralt und nicht gut gepflegt, sehr viel Chlor im Wasser, keine Bademäntel oder Schlappen verfügbar, eiskalte Umkleiden. Leider sind auch die Zimmer zum Teil sehr in die Jahre gekommen und abgerockt. Weite Wege vom Zimmer zum Restaurant oder Pool-Bereich aus dem A-Wing - gerade auch für Kinderwägen oder Rollstuhlfahrer sehr ungeeignet. Frühstück ist sehr begrenzt, kein Cappuccino oder Kakao für Kinder. Nur Tee oder Filterkaffee. Am traurigsten waren wir aber dass das angepriesene Spielzimmer nur ab 16 Uhr und nur mit Buchung nutzbar war.

Had a great weekend supporting Ulster Rugby even losing by two points didn't feel like a loss.

Breakfast selection was great, staff very helpful and friendly, Restaurant was good.Bed was large and comfortable and free wi -fi was strong. Plenty of car parking.

Kept awake by kids roaming the bedroom corridors, cleaning of Bathroom could have been better. Very Few decent TV channels.

Absolutely fantastic and unforgettable!

We loved everything about the Connacht! From the accessibility to the fitness and pool area, the check in process and the room-it was fantastic! The hotel restaurant and bar staff were our favorite part of our trip. They were all so friendly, accommodating and made our experience so memorable. Each and every staff member was so helpful, joyful and caring. We can’t wait to come back!

The storage in the room was lacking but we managed. That is the only negative we had on our trip.

Poor experience

I liked that agents on booking desk were very very polite, and proffesional

Room was not clean, toilett seat had yellow stains, walls were dirty. No complementary coffe or water in the room.When we wanted to check out receptionst just said leave your keys here and bye.No question how was your stay etc... Breakfast time, we came in the restaurant and the lady who was working on entrance of the restaurant seperated us to right side even though there has been a lot of space in breakfast area where buffet is much better. I havent felt welcomed at all. I know they have been very busy, but still I wont be staying at this hotel ever again.

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel. Value for money not great at €239 for a night without brea be kfast.

Nice from the front, rear car park entrance was covered from the weather. Very nice foyer and outside atrium. Bar also pleasant and bright with good decor. Room had everything one might need for comfort, bed very comfortable very nice evening entertainment in bar

Value for money not great at €239 for a night without breakfast. Only one type of steak on the menu, ribeye. Breakfast was a satisfactory hot buffet and cereals yoghurts fruit and cold meat. Coffee from machine wasn’t not up to standard, service station machines are better! to enter hotel from rear wasn’t very welcoming with laundry trollies at the rear entrance. Not enough stools available in bar for World Cup rugby match, the bar was full

Excellent hotel / front desk staff; unique restaurant inside the hotel, perfect value for the money

The staff was friendly and assisted in everything we've been interstated in. Especially Louise at front desk- assisted in ordering train tickets and provided a lot of useful information.

Irrelevant. We loved this hotel. We highly recommend it

Very good

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was lovely and tasty. Very family friendly and lots to keep the kids entertained.

Rooms were very basic. There was no complimentary water in the rooms. No facilities to dry wet swim gear. Had to ask three times for the room to be refreshed which was disappointing.

Excellent breakfast. On good bus route into town. Swimming pool and gym. But busy hotel with lots of tour groups and some functions. So noise could be a problem if you want peace and quiet

A great spot to stay outside of downtown Galway - still within a 30 minute walk to the city center. Hotel was lovely whe

A nice location with a restaurant on site.

Bathroom constantly flooded even when pulling shower curtain. Rooms on the third floor were not as up to date.

Definitely worth the money

Close proximity to the city's centre, very friendly and welcoming staff. And I could actively decide to "go green" and not have our room cleaned every day to save energy. Can't say anything about the pool or sauna, as I didn't habe enough time to try it out. Maybe next time ;)

If there's one thing I would nitpick - it's the shower. The showerhead mounted on the wall had a strange angle and proximity to the wall it was hanging on, that a shower set half of the bathroom under water, as the shower curtain couldn't completely cover the space between tub and wall. Not a deal breaker by any means, just a minor inconvenience.

Comfortable beds and great location.

I enjoyed that this property was close enough to city center without being in the middle of it all. The beds were comfortable.

It’s a big dated and in need of a bit of love. Odd room set up as we had to go through multiple doors to get to the toilets. It seems like it might have had a suite style space that has been half locked. Much bigger a hotel than anticipated and seems to be a destination spot. If you are looking for something a bit quieter I’d go further outside the city.

Hope to return soon.

Lovely hotel with a great buzz about the bar and lobby. All staff were exemplary. Good parking facilities, location ideal with bus stop and service to city centre. Breakfast very good. Dinner in the bar area also good.

Nothing really.

Enjoyed my stay in this lovely hotel.

Very clean , lovely rooms and lovely staff.

It’s a good 10mins away from the main part of the city but there is a bus stop right outside the hotel and the bus drops you right back outside the hotel also the hotel will call a taxi for you.

We stay at a lot of hotels as a family and found the Connacht really welcoming, clean and the staff were great! from rec

the staff were amazing l, food was wonderful and location just perfect for both the city and exploring Galway.

the only complaint really was the shower curtain as I feel these days showers should at least have a glass door. the curtain was spotless but a bit fiddly trying to ensure water didn’t go onto the floor.

Excellent and thoroughly recommend.

Well presented.Lovely staff, great communication. Good facilities. Close to city via walking and public transport. Coffee in lobby was exceptional. We had the ‘Best coffee’ made by David. Best coffee we have had since our travels from London and Ireland. Aussies love their coffee!

Food and service were excellent- hotel staff super efficient n very customer friendly.

Brilliant staff throughout the hotel. Would recommend the hotel to others ONLY if the prices were realistic and not over the top. Both of us enjoyed the gym and pool facilities- really clean n cared for.

Obviously the price! Paying a little below €500 for 2 nights board for 2 people…… breakfast extra! Not justifiable!!! In Vegas? Yes! In Galway…. NO! There were First Communion parties in a function room at the weekend. A lot of noise and very young children running about ( throughout the hotel bar and restaurant)with little apparent parental control outside of the function room.This is a parenting issue and not the hotel’s role.

Good family hotel , quiet rooms and excellent food In restaurant.

Thought breakfast Option esp for kids expensive €10 per child put us off paying . Think for kids under a certain age this could be lower , Esp for under 7 years old for example . We opted to have breakfast out of hotel due to price

Disappointed kids club not on at weekend . Even if just showing a movie , seemed to be lots of kids on the hotel
