Staff are polite, friendy & helpful, especially Damien in the bar. Don't believe all the bad publicity you might read about this hotel. We stayed on our 25th wedding anniversary, having stayed there on our honeymoon when we got married in 1984. The fruit bowl in our room on arrival was a nice touch. The log & turf fire in... more

We stayed in the Connemara Gateway Hotel on Saturday and Sunday 11 & 12 July. I wish that I could say that we had a good time but this hotel leaves an awful lot to be desired. Accomodation The hallways and staircases smell mouldy and no amount of plug in air-freshners can disguise this. The bathroom was relatively clean but... more

We stayed at the Connermara for 1 night during a 7 night stay in Ireland and its was by far and away the worst Hotel of our 7 night stay. The rooms were filthy and I don't think have been updated since the 70's. There were areas in the hotel on steps where the carpet was worn and they had... more

Myself and my husband stayed in the Connemara Gateway Hotel a few weeks ago. We booked the hotel over the internet and got a really good deal. The whole weekend was very relaxing and enjoyable. Our meals on both nights were excellent and the staff were lovely. There was music in the bar on the Saturday night and the atmosphere... more

The Food Was The Only Nice Thing About The Place. The Rooms Were Grotty, Horribly Decorated And Reminded Us Of A Nursing Home. Overall, The Hotel (If You Could Call It That) Was Grotty And Had A Most Obnoxious Smell. The Leisure Centre Was Also Very Unclean. more

I read the reviews after we had booked this hotel and was really worried that it would be awful when we got there. Happily the opposite turned out to be true! It was raining when we arrived and we were welcomed into a lovely warm recepeption area with a turf fire buring in the fireplace. The room we had was... more

At the Connemara Gateway Hotel the staff were very friendly and helpful during all our stay here. The meals were most excellent in presentation and taste and this would certainly make us come back and recommend to others. The restaurant was enjoyable to dine in and the food was affordable, we found it to be great value for money when... more

This hotel needs a complete revamp. It is to be avoided at all costs. The pictures make it look reasonable but the reality is very different. more

Booked this hotel solely for the pool, have a 20mth old son, and was looking forward to being in the pool all weekend. Got there to find pool was cold, was informed it was being worked on. Honestly, from previous reviews I think it must be cold all the time. So we got in, was cold to start with, once... more
