Wonderful accommodations, excellent restaurant. Beautiful views of Galway Bay and the surrounding countryside. Exceptionally comfortable bedding and great shower. Note, however that when you’re there, it’s all by itself. Lots of Galway traffic to get into the city center,

The picture promises a beautiful sand beach and the write up describes “Sun loungers” leading me to believe the property had a sand beach on site.
The sand beach is 1.8 km from the property.
There were no Sun loungers outdoors to be found.
The indoor space was beautiful. I wish they would have focused on what they have (lovely indoor public spaces and spacious rooms) rather than posting a picture of a beach that is not easily accessible.

The front desk staff is wonderful, particularly Shawn who carried my two heavy suitcases all the way to my room, and Cian who fetched two water bottles for us as we were leaving because we’d slept through breakfast and my daughter was thirsty. But backtracking to “carried my two heavy suitcases” for a moment, it was necessary because the property has no lift (elevator) but it does have a central staircase and then there were a couple of other smaller staircases on the way to our room. The room itself was clean, comfortable, quiet and clearly newly renovated. Lovely view! I kept the drapes open as long as possible for the water views, as well as the parklike setting. The only issue we had beyond the lack of a lift was dicey service at the restaurant (for dinner, not breakfast); one member of our group was not served her entree when all the rest were served, but the server seemed oblivious (and didn’t check with us about the meals either) nor did she bring the second round of drinks some ordered until well after the late arriving meal. Odd because the pub wasn’t busy, but maybe they were short staffed and she was also working across the hall at the restaurant? In any case, manager made it right with the person who waited for her meal, so no star deduction.

Check in is “guaranteed” at 4pm. Our room was not ready at 4 and we were told it would be ready “soon” and they took our number and said they would call. After 1 hour, we went to check and the room was ready and had been for some time.

A few days later, we left a sign on the door in the morning when we headed out for the day at 9am. We returned, after a long day out, at 8pm to find the room hadn’t been cleaned. It was like pulling teeth to get clean towels, which is all we wanted.

Nice location but would definitely look for better options next time.

Overall this is a great place. The views are dynamite. The eating options are very good. Loved that the resort was directly on the coast. It seemed to be a place where locals vacationed-loved that. There are just a few exterior wall conditions that need to be addressed. It was clear that this an older resort but thats ok as it is a phenominal location. I would return in a heartbeat.

The Hotel is a wedding venue. Absolutely beautiful. 20 minutes outside of Galway. It is directly on the beach, but it is not to swim, just for views and breezes. It rained the days we were there. We couldn’t play tennis, but we used the pool, steam room and sauna. TV was good service. Ate several meals there which were excellent, and they served one of the best breakfasts of our stay in Ireland with many options.

A beautiful location and an ideal base to explore the west coast. Rooms were spacious, clean & beds very comfortable. Staff all very helpful & friendly and the food was great too.

We visited during a heatwave (which is rare) but it was uncomfortably hot in the room, even with fans - air conditioning would be ideal and if the weather patterns continue, this might be a worthwhile investment? The only other thing we missed was a fridge in the room - being able to chill drinks would’ve been even better.

However, overall a great hotel and we very much enjoyed our stay! We’d definitely consider a return in the future.

We had an overall lovely stay at the The Connemara Coast Hotel. The property is peaceful, beautiful, and perfect if you are looking to stay outside of the busier areas of Galway. The food was excellent, and every staff member we encountered was incredibly kind and welcoming.

That said, the hotel did appear somewhat understaffed for the size of the property, especially during a very large wedding weekend. We unfortunately found mold in our bathroom and waited a few hours for assistance due to limited housekeeping availability. A very kind bellman eventually came and personally spent time scrubbing the area himself, which we greatly appreciated.

The rooms could benefit from a deeper overall clean, as the bathroom and coffee/desking area were a bit dusty. The walls are also thin, so hallway noise and wedding activity can easily be heard, though it felt somewhat expected for this type of property.

For transportation into Galway, we would recommend taking a taxi unless you have a rental car. The bus runs about every 30 minutes to an hour but can be quite slow.

Overall, despite a few areas for improvement, we still had a genuinely pleasant and relaxing stay. I would probably stay again or find somewhere else in Connemara :) beautiful property however.

At first were disappointed there were no hotels rooms available directly in Galway, but I'm so glad it worked out that way! The hotel is beautiful , staff were friendly, and the view on the beach was amazing. Parking was really easy and we found a restaurant close by called O'Grady's on the Pier which was a 5 min drive from the hotel and had 10/10 food and ambiance.

Our room was 7.5/10, there was no AC and it smelled a bit musty. We kept our ground floor patio door open as much as possible which helped. The room was also a bit dusty, sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom shower didn't have a glass door that closed just a partition which wasn't ideal. The shower did have great pressure and was nice and hot. Overall, I'm really glad we chose this hotel and would come back.

Would have given 5 stars across the board but there was a scaffold right outside our window, despite requesting an ocean view.

There's also a quaint pub contained within the hotel, with an awesome Irish performer the night we were there.

The setting of this hotel is beautiful, and as long as you have a car, it’s easy to get around - we used it for a base for the Galway area.
Our stay included breakfast, which was lovely. We even had it in our room one day.
A few draw backs for us was: the front desk staff, who were pretty rude and unhelpful when we checked in (but we are used to American level of friendliness of service)
Also how early everything closed, the kitchen closes at nine even on a weekend… I wish we had known…

Lovely ocean front hotel. Incredibly dated with no updates. Bathroom and shower were abysmal - mildew everywhere - door won’t stay open and zero ventilation. If you want a steam room with mildew then they have a bathroom for you.
Pool was nice except for the mildew. Would stay here again if they get their bathroom situations dealt with, otherwise this hotel is a no for me. It was also the most expensive hotel (out of five) that we stayed at but not worth the expense. You’ll pay a premium for the ocean front - but the hotel itself is just not good at all.

Restaurant manager very friendly and kind and our server (I think his name was Evan) was just the best! Service was exceptional! Couldn’t fault anything! Literally our only complaint is that you can’t leave a tip when paying via card and we never carry cash anymore so we were disappointed that we couldn’t tip for the exceptional service!
