We stayed at the Connacht at Easter weeekend & loved our stay there. The room was lovely, perfect for family. They had all the different things for the kids on Easter. We also had dinner at the hotel & the food was lovely & portions were big. Steak was really nice. Hoping to return to stay here again during the... More

My husband and I recently stayed here for 2 nights and we were disappointed with our room. For starters, it was quite a hike from the lobby to the room we had. The first thing we noticed when we got in the room was a shoe imprint on the chair that remained the duration of our stay. The floors had... More

Stayed for 2 nights May Bank Holiday weekend. Room wasn't great but served the purpose. Full of hen nights and groups as it was a Bank Holiday weekend. Don't think it would have suited families with young kids it was noisy at night. But suited my husband as I considering we were out the Saturday night and even enjoyed the... More

Stayed here during a 2 week cycling trip around Ireland and have to say it was by far the best value hotel on our trip. Manager Shay was more than helpful, spacious rooms and self service delicious breakfast. Fabulous stay

Stayed there after a rugby match with my two sons. All the staff were great and the food in the bar reasonable and tasty. Long journey to the leisure centre but worth it when you get there. Id go back there again .

Would definitely recommend this hotel. I recently stayed for 2 nights with my wife to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. On booking the hotel I requested a bottle of bubbly to be delivered to our room on our arrival. The receptionist taking the booking asked what we were celebrating. On arrival we were upgraded to a suite and shortly after... More

Have stayed here twice now - once when it was the Carlton and once as the Connaught. The rooms are quiet, clean, spacious and in great condition. It has loads of parking, but is a bit outside the city centre, so you'll need to get a taxi unless you don't mind a bit of a walk. The breakfast was fine... More

Would definitely recommend this hotel for visiting Galway city or county. Great value, I stayed there mdweek for 34 euro room only. Bus stop about 50 metres from hotel entrance. Staff couldnt be more helpful and the hotel wont rob you for breakfast if you fancy it
