Connemara Coast Hotel

Frommer's Review

Only 10km (6 1/4 miles) west of Galway City and with Galway Bay at its back door, this friendly, midsize hotel has a lot going for it. The guest rooms are nicely decorated in neutral colors, but that's not what will lure you here -- the big draw is that each room has a picture-window view of the Aran Islands or Clare hills. Some have turf-burning fireplaces and some have private verandas. It's an attractive, laid-back place that makes a good hub for your journey. There are two restaurants, and the hotel pub, Sin Sceal Eile (meaning "That's Another Story") offers traditional entertainment most nights.

Facilities:
Restaurant (Continental); bar; indoor swimming pool; 2 tennis courts; gym; Jacuzzi; steam bath; nonsmoking rooms
