SOME RECENT COMMENTS: 

"We had a fantastic weekend in Galway. The staff in the hotel were brilliant and looked after us really well. Everything ran like clockwork - thanks very much for all the organisation on your side.

The hotel location was ideal, within walking distance of several local playing pitches and the ballyloughane strand for training exercises. Leisure facilities were of the highest standard and the bedrooms, restaurant and general hotel facilities were top class. The Hotel Management & Staff were most courteous and obliging. No request was too big or small."

"The rooms are of a very high standard, food required is always excellent, the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The pool and the gym are well used by the team and have proved very popular. We have no hesitation in recommending the Connacht Hotel and the sports package they offer to all those interested."
