Hotels With Pools in County Galway, Ireland

A nice hotel . We had a pleasant stay , the staff were very helpful . Mark the bar manager was a nice young man that gave us free cocktails as they were developing a new cocktail menu. … they were delicious.

We were given a beautiful room  over looking the Circle of Life garden and the sea further on. See photo. Noise from jacuzzi below was bothersome in the morning and I had requested a quiet room, which it was apart from the engines bubbling below. Service in restaurant was incredibly slow for breakfast. Breakfast offering was good; not much pastry wise, but lots of fruits, gorgeous cheese, avocados even, good quality Oj. But the Coffee was sludge and undrinkable. Though the View over Galway bay is beyond compare. Room was comfortable though dated but very clean except at one point in the shower I looked down to see a chunk of long black hair stuck to my foot… 2000% not mine. That was pretty gross. It must have been sitting in the drain as I’d have noticed before getting in. Cockroaches in the shower are a more welcome site than that.  Bathroom is modern and shower had good power. Bed was soft but comfortable. Staff throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful. Pool is small, sauna is great. Pool not too clean/ Two discarded plasters on the side.  Location is unbeatable.

The Connaught is the name of the province Galway is in, and a guide later told me this is the largest hotel in all of Galway. So, the good thing is that the hotel is huge and quite professional, as it's split into several buildings that are quite far apart. On the way to my room, I even passed by a public gym and a childcare center. Both the above-ground and underground parking lots are very spacious, which is great if you're driving. The downside of such a large hotel, however, is that you shouldn't expect much in the way of service. Room cleaning usually didn't happen until around 3 PM, and there were no slippers provided by default (good thing I brought a pair from my Dublin hotel!). The hotel doesn't have air conditioning, but luckily, I didn't catch the heatwave that was happening in the UK at the time. There's a supermarket and post office right opposite the hotel where you can buy bus passes and groceries. Plus, there are several different bus stops that go to Galway city center, so transportation is very convenient.

We stayed on the 5th of September. It's a beautiful hotel. We enjoyed everything about this place except the unbearable heat in the room. It was impossible to sleep. There was a portable fan but it was very noisy.And even when it's on, it wasn't helpful. No air conditioner. We had a very poor sleep. And no matter how much we enjoyed the gym, swimming pool, food, friendly staff and the atmosphere of the hotel, we would not stay here next time.

Less than 10 minutes by car from Galway city centre, the hotel has its own parking lot. Buffet breakfast seems to be 12 euros per person, typical Irish breakfast. The twin room is a single bed + a double bed.

Hotel is beautifully situated on the coast. Choice of two restaurants. It all feels a bit dated. Bathroom is very small. Room with terrace was nice. Felt like “executive”. No. The quality of the room was too mediocre for that. Not suitable for people with walking difficulties.

This is a wonderful Hotel. We are getting married and had our reception dinner there as well as put family up there for the night. The service, staff, food and facilities were great. Will most certainly recommend this place to anyone.

The hotel's surroundings are really nice, and there's a parking lot right at the entrance. The Western restaurant on the first floor is delicious, though it closes a bit early on weekend nights, at 8 PM. The room was decent. My room on the second floor had a balcony. Even though there's no air conditioning, the temperature difference between day and night here is quite significant, so it was cool enough in the evenings.

Easy check-in & receptionist is very helpful with our enquiries regarding the area Room was ready & comfortable bed Great restaurant lovely food & plenty of variety of meals to choose from  We will recommend to the highest quality ✅

Fantastic hotel. Very trendy and fancy. Amazing top floor bar and restaurant. Very close to everything in the City centre. Highly recommend !
