Top Connacht Hotel Reviews

Knockranny House Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was spacious. Really enjoyed the pool, etc. Wish we could have stayed longer."

Nox Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, friendly staff and good value for money. Restaurant was pretty good too! Would use the hotel again if in the area"

Leonardo Hotel Galway

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel just outside of the Latin Quarter and on the river was outstanding. Overall, very nice hotel. Our only complaint was no working air conditioning and it was quite warm during our 2 day stay. Room was hot and uncomfortable. We talked to the hotel staff and they told us a local transformer had sustained damage, thus no working air conditioning. I did not challenge, but all other electrical in the hotel was operating just fine. I talked to another couple staying at the hotel and they also did not have working air conditioning. I am speculating the hotel management made a decision to turn off air conditioning given typical temps that would be expected in the Galway area during this time of year. I wish they would have simply stated this assuming this is the case. They did provide a fan and provided us with a complimentary breakfast for one of our 2 mornings at the hotel without us requesting, which was nice. I would absolutely stay at this hotel again, and would hope for working air conditioning. We stayed at several hotels during time in Ireland (across the country) and all had working A/C except the Leonardo Galway."
