Top Connacht Hotel Reviews

Harbour Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for our 4 day stay in Galway. Easy walking distance to town and the train station. The upside is our area is very quiet at night when compared to staying right in town. The bar has excellent drinks and wonderful snacks. They also provided water every day. 10/10 we will stay here again on our next visit to Galway."

The Snug Townhouse

8/10 Good

"The rooms were "Snug" as advertised but still enough space for what we needed. The biggest inconvenience was that there is no elevator, so if you are on a top floor you are carrying your luggage up. We made do. The location is right in the middle of all of the nightlife so it may be a bit loud at night when you are trying to sleep. We were so tired that it didn't make a difference! We liked being close to all the shops and pubs. There is also a parking structure just down the street if you are travel with your own vehicle. Overall, a very good place to stay."

Connemara Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great swimming pool and fantastic food and general hospitality. Lovely soap and lotions."

Knockranny House Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous large room with shower and spa bath. Hotel is welcoming and even though it was busy no one was too busy to help. Breakfast was excellent hot food ordered at table. Large selection of cereals, juice and bread/pastries. Main course and drink in Breton Bar was €27 each excellent value and close to town centre about 10 min walk away."

"Great stay, the AC works!!!"

Nox Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very nice two night stay. The hotel was very clean, had plenty of parking, and was less than a ten minute cab ride to the Latin Quarter. Taxis were cheaper than parking. For us the best value was the breakfast buffet. Very well prepared and appointed. Eggs, meats, breads, juices, coffee, fruit, etc..all very fresh and only 12 euros. Easily $25 at a breakfast restaurant and the quality was just as good. Nice little bar that stays open until 3:00 am if you want a night cap and their prices are beyond reasonable. The only down side was it was a bit noisy outside with traffic noise, but not unbearable. I believe we paid about $400 euros for two nights. We considered it a great value. Ask for a fan if it is a little warm."
