Top Barna Hotel Reviews

The Dean Galway

The Dean Galway

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel in a great location. We were upgraded on arrival which was great and the staff at reception were friendly and professional. I had a slight issue with my card but the staff were very patient and courteous. Barfood was lovely, coffee area at reception is great and we loved the snug bar. Decor and vibes are what strikes you first but it's the staff that make the difference. Will definitely be back."

Connemara Coast Hotel

Connemara Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Unmatched Galway Bay views and the perfect family base! The Connemara Coast Hotel was the standout stay of our entire trip. We booked two nights here for our family of four (reserving two rooms, as larger family layouts weren't available), and check-in was a breeze. Highlights: The Views: The view across Galway Bay is simply unmatched. With the clear weather, it hardly looked real, and we even watched a cruise ship glide past the coast. Location & Day Trips: An easy drive into Galway City (budget a little time for city traffic/parking). The walking atmosphere reminded us of Temple Bar, and the Sunday open-air market with local vendors is well worth a visit. The Experience: Down time was wonderful—exploring the rugged shoreline right on the property, relaxing in the evenings, and soaking in the setting. If you are looking for breathtaking scenery, a great coastal location, and true Irish hospitality, this hotel is a must-stay. Highly recommended!"

Clybaun Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"The Clybaun Hotel is centrally located to enjoy the different neighborhoods of Galway. Great central spot for taking side trips. The room was large, beds were comfortable, and everything from the bathroom to the floors were very clean. Bring your swimsuit and workout clothes as they have a super nice pool and gym on the underground parking floor. They do support the local swim team, but you are well notified of the times they are there and it is easy to work around. They have a delicious breakfast that everyone will enjoy. This hotel also has a restaurant called the Courtyard that you should make a reservation before arriving - check photos to decide if you want in the enclosed courtyard or inside. The restaurant staff was thoughtful, knew the menu, and so good. We were able to make a reservation when we arrived at 6pm for 8:15pm, so it is worth asking. The staff throughout the hotel were professional and went that extra step to ensure our trip was going well. Easy check in and check out. HINT: 1) For Americans driving there - The Clybaun Hotel sign is as visible as the Courtyard sign. My husband and I thought there were two hotels next to each other meaning two parking areas. Nope, that is the Courtyard Restaurant. 2) You can self-park in the open-air parking lot around if the hotel and they have a below ground parking lot for free. For a new driver on the other side of the road, it can be tricky, but nice to have. We definitely enjoyed our stay."
