“Connacht's garden Galway base”
The Connacht Hotel is a big garden-like Galway hotel — clean spacious rooms, a lovely varied decent-quality breakfast (staff squeezed one guest into a pre-booked sitting), plentiful parking, a two-hundred-meter bus stop, nice restaurant food, and friendly welcoming staff. Caveats though: one severe review cited faulty bath hot and cold water, a small slippery tub, a dusty fan, unresponsive room-service calls, carpark noise and a smelly toilet; a west-facing room lacked air conditioning through a hot spell; full buses pass by; and no smart TV.
