Flannery's Hotel Galway

Flannery's Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for 1 night and had a rental car. Parking was plentiful and we were only a 10 minute drive to the city center. Staff were great and welcoming. We had the breakfast in the morning, which had all the necessary items (Irish buffet). The room was large for our family of four (two twin beds and a queen). We would stay here again. "

Connemara Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Unmatched Galway Bay views and the perfect family base! The Connemara Coast Hotel was the standout stay of our entire trip. We booked two nights here for our family of four (reserving two rooms, as larger family layouts weren't available), and check-in was a breeze. Highlights: The Views: The view across Galway Bay is simply unmatched. With the clear weather, it hardly looked real, and we even watched a cruise ship glide past the coast. Location & Day Trips: An easy drive into Galway City (budget a little time for city traffic/parking). The walking atmosphere reminded us of Temple Bar, and the Sunday open-air market with local vendors is well worth a visit. The Experience: Down time was wonderful—exploring the rugged shoreline right on the property, relaxing in the evenings, and soaking in the setting. If you are looking for breathtaking scenery, a great coastal location, and true Irish hospitality, this hotel is a must-stay. Highly recommended!"
