Dear Caroline,
Thank you for your scores regarding your recent stay with us at The Connacht Hotel. It is very much appreciated by us all here as it provides us with an opportunity to see how we are doing whether it be good or not so good. We hear you loud and clear on the outdate facilities in the Leisure Centre and well over due and the good news is they are being refurbished in May and in time for the 30th Anniversary and well long over due for sure.

Fantastic experience: Another hotel I've stayed at lots of times. Around very good, food, bar, service etc. Gym and pool are good but can be very busy at peak times and a bit messy. Parking is free, the only downside is breakfast. Not the hottest or biggest selection for the size of the hotel but definitely not bad. Coffee is o.k too but the staff are always lovely.

Fantastic experience: Ideal family hotel. Annah in Reservations was a pleasure to deal with for a large group booking. We had a fantastic stay for our family gathering. Everybody commented on the high standard of rooms and food, and we were all particularly impressed by how great the team were. The private room for dinner worked out perfectly, and the staff were so accommodating, even when they were having to step over toddlers with toys to serve tables! Hanna and Drew and their colleagues looked after us so well. Please pass on our thanks.

Fantastic experience: We have visited Galway numerous of times but this was our first time to stay here.. I can't understand how we missed this place as it is one of the best hotels we as a family have stayed in. Immediately when you arrive you clearly see it is a step above any other hotel,.the decor is just spectacular. Extremely friendly Receptionists and generally all the staff are professional and competent. The bar was absolutely buzzing with live music and people dining. The food was top notch and the kiddies menus was excellent. The room was beautiful with bunk beds for the kids in which they enjoyed, except for the arguing of who's sleeping in the top bunk. The coffee dock at reception is a nice touch where you can sit and relax with a fresh coffee. Rarely have I seen much attention to the decor detail throughout the hotel, it really is beautiful. This hotel is now my go to hotel and already have booked again for a later date. This hotel is family friendly, so if you're visiting the fantastic Galway City, book this hotel,.you won't be disappointed.

The food was really good, got the Monkfish myself and my better half got the burger. No complaints. The staff were great, really cool - dont talk rugby, they love it! Nice comfortable place.

Negative experience: We checked into your hotel last Friday and Saturday night . The rooms were so dated and the bathroom was not clean. I had taken my elderly mother with me. There was only one lift working. We had to wait 8 mins to enter the lift as there was a queue of families waiting to use it. We were told that there were 820 residence staying that night. Myself and my daughter used the swimming pool . It was a health hazard the amount of people who were let in at the same time. You could not move. My mother refused to stay and she wasn’t comfortable with the amount of people were around. Aron the manager that was on duty refunded my money.

Positive experience: Family room was dated needs a bit of an upgrade but was clean. Rest of the hotel is lovely and modern. Could have done without the cleaners banging on my door at 8.30am to see if we where there - we where all asleep. Also the buffet breakfast is stressful, it's a free for all - not an enjoyable experience would prefer to order and get it brought down to us especially with small children, if staying again would go room only and get breakfast out of the hotel, not worth the money especially if one child just want's cornflakes.

Positive experience: The hotel is in a nice location, just a few minutes drive from the center of Galway. The parking lot has ample space. The hotel staff are friendly. Breakfast was okay. The room had an air freshener that was overwhelming, and the bathroom floor was sticky. The walls are thin, so you hear everyone walking by the room and doors closing. This is a good budget hotel for families that don't mind the noise.

Fantastic experience: A gem of a location. A superior kid friendly option, above and beyond staff, quality food and local coffee bar, pool is like a resort. Updated and the efforts are undeniable. Green initiative and intentions are first class. Cocktails, wine list, and taps are fantastic. Sitting locations are inviting, bountiful, and diverse. Bunk rooms for the kids are exceptional, the bar is spacious and welcoming, the breakfast was hot and regularly turned over for freshness. A diverse crowd of all ages and walks. Quiet and romantic even with being so kid friendly. Very close to downtown Galway, but nice to just be a step out from the hustle. A must if you have a family. Top choice even if you are traveling alone or with a partner. Our go-to from now on when in Galway. Nobody will top the hospitality being prioritized here.

Fantastic experience: I would really recommend staying at The Connacht. The staff were friendly,courteous and helpful thus making it a warm and friendly experience. Manager Kevin was very helpful with a facilities issue. Id like to also mention Yehor and Mia who were attentive, charming and personable. The hotel's dedication in creating a sustainable environment is impressive ,however I was disappointed that the bathroom toiletries were not locally sourced.This is something I see in a lot of hotels, so it's possibly unfair to single out The Connacht in this.I think that this is a missed opportunity in supporting small local Irish businesses.

The hotel is situated in a great location with excellent connectivity to the city center via public transport, making it super convenient for exploring the area.

Fantastic experience: In the aftermath of storm Eowyn we escaped to the Connacht hotel with two children with additional needs. The hotel parking, checkin lobby, restaurant everywhere in the building was accessible warm clean modern and inviting. Our room with bunk beds was a massive hit with our boys entertaining them for hours. Beds were comfortable and the fridge was a very welcome addition. All staff in all areas we encountered were attentive and friendly. The restaurant food was beautiful with accommodating staff and kitchen for our requests. The pool was excellent for children. I have and will continue to recommend this hotel. And looking forward to our return hopefully for a planned trip next time.

Positive experience: The family room we had was definitely dated, but overall it was comfortable and adequate. The facility is large, so there was quite a walk to the room we had, and lifts available where needed which was useful with lots of luggage. We were quite satisfied with the food options on site both for dinner and breakfast. On site parking was plentiful, even apparently when the front bar ended up with an event on, though we did arrive early. I'm not sure there would have been a better option for us, and overall we were quite happy with the stay.

Negative experience: The service staff were friendly and the hotel generally looks nice & modern. However, the signages were lacking. Upon walking back from the pool, the signage was not informative on how to return to the other wings, neither were there maps to provide directions. There were stains on the bedsheets and glasses in the restaurant. Kettles in the rooms need to be cleaned as well. Improvements need to be made to the WiFi for seamless connectivity.

Regarding the sheets, whilst there may have been a machine stair I hope to be confident that they were clean as we use a national laundry service provider with deliveries every day. If it was at all possible to get the name or room number to [email protected] I will be able to follow up more on our bedroom servicing tracker.

Our room was spotless and the food was excellent. But it is the welcome, the friendly service and kindness of the staff that makes The Connacht Hotel different. Keep up the good work David and Team! We will be back to visit soon.

Negative experience: Hotel was fine, room was very very basic, clean but certainly lacking in terms of charm, bathroom was very dated. Biggest gripe was the restaurant, ordered a quick soup as was against the clock, it was €6.95 and the portion was ridiculously small I mean it was a mug sized portion with the meaniest, thinest slice of brown bread. Seriously over priced for a bog standard veg soup, no sense of any value whatsoever.
Dear Brian,
Thank you for your scores regarding your recent stay with us at The Connacht Hotel. It is very much appreciated by us all here as it provides us with an opportunity to see how we are doing whether it be good or not so good.

Thanks again Brian for letting us know and hopefully, we will see you back with us at The Connacht Hotel sometime in the near future and if you do and care to keep this note to hand I promise to make some amends that I am sure will be seen as more than reasonable; so just ask for me. Best regards, David O’Connor, General Manager. (Personally responded)
Fantastic experience: We’ve used the family rooms a few times now and again did not disappoint. We had a medical emergency during the early night with our baby and all the staff were so helpful throughout even sending breakfast the next day to our room when we got back.

Fantastic experience: A little late for this detailed review but just wanted to say a huge thank you for the team and the management for making my stay such a memorable one. Everything was perfect - the rooms, the service, the hospitality, the convenience. The thing that really touched my heart was the friendly nature of the staff, can’t really complain about anyone , be it the reception staff, the house keeping staff or just some random staff member you met in the hallways. Would recommend everyone to be here and enjoy the experience themeselves !

Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant experience last March. Rooms clean, spacious. Staff very friendly. Breakfast bar excellent (Especially for a hangover!). Gorgeous bar beside reception that opens until late. Great location-beside transport that takes you right to Eyre Square, and probably only 20 minutes from NUIG. Good price point all things considered. Does everything you need. Receptionist was very friendly and showed us all the places to go for a first time trip. Looking forward to going back.

Positive experience: I had to rewrite this a few times to make sure it was fair. This is a clean, efficient, busy hotel with excellent staff. The kids enjoyed it, and enjoyed the facilities and pool and especially the magician at the meal! There were lots of kids running around all the time, so be aware of that on busy times. It was a decent price, and quite close to the city also. I think all of these things are positives. Some constructive feedback, the showers and pool area was old and needed a refresher, the showers were quite grotty in the pool. The food in the restaurant was quite mediocre, the breakfast areas were well-run, but again very busy, the breakfast buffet was quite poor. Overall - good staff and service, but I wouldn’t recommend and I wouldn’t stay again.
Dear Kieran,
Thank you for your scores regarding your recent stay with us at The Connacht Hotel. It is very much appreciated by us all here as it provides us with an opportunity to see how we are doing whether it be good or not so good. We also appreciate the efforts you went to here in leaving your very fair and constructive comments and nice sentiments, too. We hear you loud and clear and Mid Term is definitely a very heavy lifting period and typically mostly families staying with us which makes it a bit easier for all. In terms of the Leisure Centre, completely correct on this but delighted to tell you that we are very soon completely refurbishing the Showers and Changing areas and also the Lockers in both the ladies and gents. This is on top of our ongoing total refurbishment of all our guest bedrooms. I am sorry to hear about the food and normally we score quite well here so really sorry we let you down on this. Thanks again Kieran for letting us know and hopefully, we will see you back with us at The Connacht Hotel sometime in the near future. I am convinced if you returned outside of the big mid terms that you would find us a more relaxed enjoyable hotel to stay in. And if you and post making your booking I will not be found wanting in making some amends across our food and beverage facilities and you can hold me to that. Best regards, David O’Connor, General Manager. (Personally responded)
