"This hotel was not directly walkable to everything, but it was still close enough to taxi and be there in a few minutes. The only downside was no air conditioning. The room got really hot and uncomfortable."

Connemara Coast Hotel

Connemara Coast Hotel

8/10 Good
"There are too many stairs and no elevator. Some rooms do not have AC. The hotel is on Galway Bay and the grounds are beautifully kept with walking trails to the rocky beach. It is about 7 miles from Galway which could be an issue for some without their own transportation. We would stay there again."
