The Heritage room was very spacious and nice, the staff (specifically Dimple and Ambika at the reception) were very hospitable and welcoming and the breakfast buffet in the ‘Verandah’ was amazing
Taj Connemara has a unique ambience. The history of the buildings and the beautiful established gardens combine with friendly and efficient staff to make me reluctant to leave.
Very happy overall and enjoyed everything about Taj! Wonderful staff and personalized service. Excellent food. Beautiful place. Highly recommended. Spa and gym great too.
Friendly staff, comfortable bed and pillow. Clean room with air conditioning and a ceiling fan (which I preferred).
Very clean too.
Good selection of breakfast.
The service was excellent and the building was beautiful and clean, the food was delicious.

We returned to The Connemara after 20 years. It still manages to retain its old world charm and character. Room well maintained and a good size. Staff attentive and efficient in all areas of the hotel. A most enjoyable stay.
Very warm welcome at the entrance and checkin was quick and easy. My child enjoyed the pool with lots of toys to play from hotel. Would stay again at this property
