Connemara Lake Hotel

No hotel carpark. Extremely dated interior. No lifts, narrow staircase. Room small, dated and with mismatched cheap furniture. Window view of high back wall of hotel. Shower absolutely disgusting with mould. Food was inedible. £172 for one night

Such a beautiful hotel, Rooms were spotless, Staff were amazing & very friendly, especially restaurant & morning breakfast staff. Couldn’t do enough for you, food was amazing, definitely recommend a visit

I would say this is an hotel a little bit stuck in the past and probably would cost too much to modernize to better standards. There are lots of things you would slate a newer hotel for but have to accept at this level. Our room was very small. Only 1 bedside locker fitted in and the bed was very low for some reason. The 10 minute tap running time for hot water not ideal either and very wasteful. The staff were friendly and very hardworking. Breakfast was very good. We did have an evening meal which was fine. I noticed a lot of locals eating in that evening which is always a vote of confidence in the food. Evening meals are only available 3 nights at the weekends. At €190 per room the hotel is not great value and reflects demand locally rather than the value offered.

I stayed here for three pre-booked nights recently. I was disappointed. They don't seem to make much of an effort. The room was small with a low-lying bed and was barely adequate for one. The hot water in the morning took 10 minutes to heat up - but at least there was a notice to that effect. Rain was coming through the roof in the corridor outside my room. They serve food only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings only, from 5pm to 8pm. I opted to take my evening measl at the Boat Inn across the road. They did, however, provide a decent breakfast. Would I stay here again? No.

Stayed as a family of 2 adults & 3 children across 2 rooms in Feb 2023. Warm welcome on arrival. Centrally located on the Main Street in Oughterard surrounded by cosy bars & shops. No problem getting on-street parking outside for our van. Rooms were clean and functional. Breakfast in the morning consisted of a nice selection of cereals, fruit, juices, yogurt etc. followed by hot dishes made to order. All in all a lovely stay.

While the staff were welcoming and the room was nice and spacious, we felt 190 euros was expensive for the facilities offered. The restaurant seemed very quiet and without atmosphere. It is well located in the middle of the town but has no nice views.

Stayed here for 3 nights in a large en suite room. Very comfortable although the large modern bathroom lacked any heating and was chilly. Decent food and beer in the hotel loung and the breakfasts were excellent.

I arrived here tired and cold on December 16th, having driven in the Friday frosty weather. A very kind and courteous greeting at the reception, with a spotless and warm bedroom waiting to ease my tired self. So so quiet for sleeping and a friendly breakfast with good coffee, fruit and porridge. Thank you all the staff for making my stressful trip much easier and comfortable.
