Had a lovely one night stay in this hotel. The room was fine and had all amenities. The weather wasn't good but had no problem with the wifi. Breakfast was lovely as were the staff. The hotel is being upgraded and has lovely new curtains and carpets. A good base for a trip to Connemara. Hope to stay again.

A lovely family run hotel in the rural and rustic retreat of Connemara. We had a very pleasant stay here albeit very short. The breakfast was just what the doctor ordered after partaking in the local hospitality the night before! was only staying the one night but on my experience would certainly recommend the place.

As stated this is a small family run hotel. Rooms a little small although very clean and comfortable. Staff extremely pleasant. Lovely breakfast. Excellent base for exploration of south Connamara. Although we thought the restaurant prices a little high for the fare available we would stay there again.

The welcome was warm and friendly our rooms were of a high standard with all you needed. If i was to find fault i would say the bar area needs painting the doors were very shabby and the whole room or rather two rooms needed painting and sorting. The food was brilliant our evening meal was just delicious and the breakfast all you could ask for. Our visitors enjoyed it and I hope next year my husband and i will go back for a two or three night break.

Nice clean, friendly family run business. Food was super and a reasonable price. Decor is a bit dated but it's quite reasonable to stay here. We got booked on a bank holiday for €39 b&b which was good value. The place is spotless, and very welcoming. Wifi available, will definately be back for a visit in the near future.

Very disappointed on arrival to see how old and dingy this hotel was. Was expecting something more up-to-date.its not that scenic an area either much better scenery to be found a short drive away. Having said that I got a wonderful nights sleep in the hotel as the area is so quiet. Terrible old mattress on the bed also and the kettle was so brown inside. It can be used as a base for exploring Connemara but I wouldn't recommend it as first choice! Staff were excellent very friendly and the food was brilliant no complaints there. Just the overall look of the hotel and rooms, badly in need of a makeover. Would definitely not book this hotel again or recommend it either.

Stayed in the hotel for three nights. Remote and beautiful. No sea views though which was disappointing as this was one of the reasons i had booked. Beautiful beaches nearby though. Fabulous scenery and many beautiful places to visit.
Hotel is on the shabby side, but very clean with lots of hot water. The food was great.,We toured a lot and it served the best fish dishes we found, hake, crab, black sole etc.
Would recommend for a real get a way from it all holdiay. Very relaxing. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The negatives were very minimal comapred to the many positves.

This has to have been one of the least pleasant hotels I've stayed in for a long time. It's difficult to image how any of the rooms at the front of the hotel could have a "scenic view" as they all over look the car park, the road and the houses opposite. I can't speak for the rooms at the rear of the hotel as I didn't see these.
The hotel is basically shabby compared to the hotels I've stayed in recently. The carpets are old, the paint work is scuffed and the place has an old smell to it. We only ate in the bar once because the meal we were served was very poor. I had a BLT with no lettuce; but 3 layers of soggy toast. My wife's open salmon sandwich was served on a brown scone instead of bread. The cooked breakfast was also of poor quality with sausages that just tasted of salt and nothing more.
The room itself was basically clean if you ignored the run down state of the furniture. There were only 3 TV channels available, none of them Irish (unless you count UTV), Down in the bar they were showing RTE; but this was not available in the room. The shower ran at a reasonable volume and temperature; but then would switch to scalding hot with no warning. The hotel description said free wifi - it's free for 10 minutes a day after which you have to pay for it.

We had a great mid week break at the Carna Bay Hotel. The staff were fantastic and very kind and polite the food was 10 out of 10 and we really enjoyed it. We will most certainly return there in the future. The Hotel is perfect for exploring the west of Ireland

This hotel really surprised me. When I arrived in the tiny village in Conemara I didn't expect so much choice on the menu or such nice surroundings. The hotel was lovely the food was great. The staff were lovely most helpful. The entertainment in the bar was fantastic. A perfect place to stay

My mother and I have just enjoyed a two day break at the Carna Bay Hotel which was traditional and comfortable - the staff were very friendly, helpful and courteous and most were local which made the experience even more authentic.
The food was plentiful and traditional. I had an excellent plaice stuffed with salmon and king prawns.Other guests were making appreciative comments about their food. Sadly my mothers 'roast of the day' - pork was unpalatable, she was offered an alternative but declined. When checking out we were reimbursed for the main course which was much appreciated.
Would recommend for a peaceful break in the heart of beautiful Connemara.

the hotel was warm and welcoming. our room was lovely and clean. the bar was too dark. the food and menu needs to be updated, although the service was very friendly you did feel that you were left too long between courses. breakfast was far better in a very light and airy room, the service was very friendly.

The surrounding area is spectacular. The accommodation is basic but clean. I will be returning and would definitely recommend the hotel to friends and family. Overall it was very good value for money.</p>
