Nice views, lovely staff, average hotel
First time staying with the Connemara Coast Hotel, and if it wasn’t for the nice warm welcome by Ann Varley and Josh in the Bar, not to mention Georgina in Escape, I think I would have left and gone home.
Food was average
Breakfast was poor
The room was lovely but accommodation severely missed several areas and in the upper floors there were people running around creating a lot of noise at night.
I had a spa treatment and Georgina was simply awesome she surely knows her craft.
The staff was kind and accommodating. In fact, I forgot my phone in lobby bathroom at checkout; when I realized I was hours away and the staff retrieved it and held it at the desk until I was able to return for it. They were very sweet about the whole mess. Thank you!

Fabulous hotel, newly refurbished rooms, friendly helpful staff. Nice pool (20metres?) and leisure centre. Food very good, one of the best breakfasts I've seen! In a gorgeous spot on the shore of Galway bay.

Dear Freda,Thank you for your review. We appreciate the great feedback.
Amazing hotel! Clean rooms, great amenities, area is just beautiful, and staff is so friendly. Breakfast was amazing each morning and the workers go above and beyond. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend to anyone!
Great location, with amazing views and rooms! The breakfast buffet was great but service in the bar area for food was very poor and made for a bad experience overall, having to chase waiters to place order and having staff say they will be right back and not show up for 45 minutes to take an order.
Nice location, but hotel needs some attention. No working lift and many odd and varying levels which are difficult with luggage. Also, you have to walk through most of the hotel, including dining areas, to get to the pool area.
The view was spectacular! Everything and more of what we expected. I would love to return and use all the amenities offered

Nice but jacuzzi broken and poor communication
Very unresponsive to communication. We booked and paid more for this property due to it having a jacuzzi/hot tub and pool. It was down for maintenance the entire time and they ignored my repeated emails and messages asking about it. This hotel was much more expensive than similar ones nearby. It was a lovely property but I was disappointed to have broken equipment and ignored communications.
Great hotel to stay at! We loved the view from our room. Super spacious & comfy. Lots of parking. Loved the short 15 minute walk to the beach. Only downside was the rooms do not have a mini fridge. The bar was great about giving us a bucket of ice if needed. We would stay here again!!
Terribly noisy with the interconnecting room, could literally hear everything neighbors were saying and they no doubt could here us. They took me to another room that had a piece of insulation in between but the interconnecting door didn't lock.
Beautiful hotel and beautiful location! Staff were helpful. The rooms was very nice. But, be aware that they do not have an elevator and our room required us to use two sets of stairs. Luckily my husband is able to drag both of our suitcases up and down the stairs. They have a beautiful property! We were easily able to drive into Galway for a day and evening. And, the next day, we drove the Connemara peninsula. Hotel was perfectly located!

Beautiful property with great views of Galway Bay and a delicious breakfast buffet. Our room was spacious and it was worth the 20 minute drive from the city center. I will stay there on my next trip to Galway.
A beautiful hotel with amazing views! Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our morning coffee in front of the window with views of the water. We had dinner one evening in the restaurant and it was 1st class food and service. The hotel is about a 15 min drive to Galway City Centre which was convenient.
As a senior the first room we were offered had to be changed because of its location at the bottom of stairs. An elevator in the hotel would have helped.
Such a beautiful location, especially when you have wonderful weather like we did! Lovely hotel. We were on the bottom floor which had a wonderful patio with a view but it was a bit tricky to navigate down two flight of stairs with the bags. The breakfast in the morning was fair. The bar staff was lovely and the location can't be beat.
We had wonderful massages and the food was very good. It had a great bar area.
And when we added an extra day stay with no notice, they were able to accommodate us in a special suite and keep us there the next night so that we didn’t have to change rooms at the same price as our original reservation. That’s over and above by my way of thinking!!!
Nice pool facilities; jacuzzi, steam and sauna. Gym was functional but run down; old equipment.
Happened to be there in rare heart wave with lackluster air conditioning.
Good food and service.

This is a beautiful property right on the water. You are just outside of Galway proper, but feel you are miles from civilization.
This is by far one of the nicest resorts I’ve ever stayed it made so by the. staff. Every single
Person from the front desk, restaurant, bar & pool/gym facilities was so kind and friendly. Will definitely recommend
Clean room, housekeeping with fresh towels. Friendly & Professional staff, grounds around hotel are magnificent with extraordinary views. Close to Aran island
