Reflex of the Soles

"I was following up with our Team this morning & reviewing the feedback from the Beautiful people that attended our Event. Everything was more than satisfactory for us all & the event ran very smoothly. There was Not one complaint from ourselves or anyone that came through the doors!! The Hotel Staff are an Absolute Credit. They were Professional, Friendly, Courteous & truly Helpful to us all. The set up was perfect & they had extra tables & linen left out for us so we were able to elevate the areas that needed that bit more for their set up!! I just want to say a huge Thank you to you Laura, when we met you we felt respected & listened to & felt at ease. Your suggestions were on point & we knew straight away that we would be well supported by the Team there. Some of us got to take a short break to eat in the restaurant & I have to say the food & service were Sublime!! There are many Happy memories for myself & my two young adults wrapped up in the Hotel. The Staff & Services have always been Amazing!! We will definitely be recommending the Hotel to everyone we speak to about events & in general. We were so pleased with how the day unfolded. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much for all the effort you & the Teams put into yesterday. We are so Grateful to you all."

"Once again it was a great event for us and the staff and facilities at The Connacht were perfect as usual. All the attendees felt that the service was great and one of our company directors in particular said he felt that your staff were very friendly to all of us but in particular he said he noticed that your staff members were friendly to each other . He said that made him feel that it must be a good work environment for them at the hotel. All in all it was a success. Thank you. "

"I want to say a huge thank you to you Jamie, Eveanna and all the team who worked with us on the event, it was seamless as always, it was fantastic working with you, and I look forward to next year already. I want to also say a huge thanks for the CHG support with the drink’s reception, the wine, tickets to the races and the prizes, this was very generous and really appreciated. It means that more money goes to the charity from the sale of the tickets. Will be in touch soon, and you can book on Monday of Race week again for Racing for Rosabel 2025"

"A massive thank you to the Connacht hotel for their fantastic service last Thursday night. From the friendliest reception staff, bar and restaurant staff and conference and banqueting staff, they couldn’t do enough for us. They had the Ryan room all set up for us and ready to go for the evening. The finger food was delicious and to top it all off the accommodation was superb. I would have no doubt using the Connacht hotel for any event, business or personal. Thank you so much for all you do."

"From the very beginning dealing with lovely Rebecca who has a great telephone manner to Seamus with the room set up, to the ladies on the desk and the wonderful Irene with no problem too big or small, Slava the evening before helping with my queries and lovely accommodation, Ian and his super hospitality in the restaurant, you have a wonderful team to be very proud of. I can assure you the Galvia room will be my first choice for this meeting every time. The attendees complimented the seamless coffee breaks and the papercup option which I asked for is perfect for these types of meetings and also the easy parking facility. Your location suits all counties that attended. Sound and visual was perfect I can only commend the Connacht hotel and please share my positive words with all from top management down along."

"From the first day I made the enquiry with the conferencing team in the Connacht Hotel for the JCI Galway TOYP Awards, up until the end of our event, they have been professional, courteous and efficient. All their quotes and replies to my queries were sent in a timely and prompt manner by Rebecca and Natasha. On the night of the event, I was greeted by their General Manager Wayne and the banqueting team on the night, Stephen, John, Brigid, Jim and Bernie. I highly recommend booking the Connacht Hotel for a meeting, conference or event and thank the team for all of their help and hard work in making the JCI Galway TOYP Awards Galway 2017 a huge success and one of the best in Galway in recent years."
