Welcome to Leenane Hotel, Connemara
Leenane Hotel is located in the village of Leenane in Co Galway, Ireland – part of the Connemara region of Ireland.
Overlooking Killary Harbour, Ireland’s only fjord, the Hotel enjoys what is perhaps one of the most scenic locations in Ireland.
The Leenane Hotel has played host to Kings and Mortals for the last three centuries and like all good things, has improved with age! Originally established as a Coaching Inn, the earliest records show that there has been an establishment in existence here since the 1790’s. As you would expect, standards have come a long way since then but you will still find that the essential character of the Hotel and the surrounding area remains.
We pride ourselves in providing a warm welcome, the highest standards of hospitality and a fine dining experience.

Doreen2024-04-13Any time again! ☺ what a lovely hotel! old fashioned comfortable room- with a surprisingly modern bathroom-, a roaring fire in the lounge and a nice pub. ☹ breakfast staff could be a bit more attentive. even though it was still early and few guests where up for breakfast, I had to wait quite a bit before someone handed me the breakfast menu and my coffee was forgotten twice.

Leonie O2024-04-06Top class service Absolutely outstanding service in the dining room from Ann. The restaurant was full when we arrived (late) on a Tuesday without a booking. Ann made us feel welcome even though she was under pressure with passing trade. We had just come from a funeral nearby as had many other diners, she was apologising for the location of the only seats left. We were given seats out in the front conservatory with beautiful views and watching the world go by. The food was excellent and we didn't have to wait too long for it considering it was so busy. Ann checked on us regularly and we enjoyed her conversation and efficiency. The younger staff were extremely polite and efficient too. Music started up while we were there and they welcomed one if our party to sing a song. They really made such a sad trip for us into a memorable night we won't forget for a long time. We most certainly will be back.
Eileen H2024-04-05Loved it ! I stayed here for 3 nights at Easter, hotel was booked out but still felt very comfortable. Ate here for dinner 3 nights and the food is just beautiful. Lovely big drawing room to relax in, lots of couches, fireplace. There's papers there and magazines to read while you relax. And as for the sights, stunning. This hotel just has it all! 3 stars just isn't enough ***** !
Jess O2023-12-29Best place. Brilliant. Simply brilliant. The atmosphere and staff are what makes it. The rooms are great, especially the dog ones. But, to feel at home while away. Everything right. Also, Bart, the physio. I mean, gorgeous food and drinks.. next day, a proper physio.
Z. BONNAUD2023-12-04Bel hôtel pour visiter la région des lacs Une très belle surprise. Tout était parfait : la chambre avec petit balcon vue sur le fjord demandé lors de la réservation, le petit déjeuner continental ou irlandais, les dîners (pris avec la formule petit dej et dîners compris) délicieux et très complets (entrée, soupe, plat, dessert et thé/ café) et très variés si vous restez plusieurs nuits. Allez y les yeux fermés, excellent rapport qualité prix, personnel sympathique, attentionné et efficace. Juste faites attention de venir dîner avant 20:30.
Caddyvan2023-11-09What a Location This was the view from my balcony this morning, after a great night out with friends for a meal at the Leenane Hotel, Connemara, County Galway last night. We had a lovely meal, and a good laugh at the most homely Hotel in the country. Everything was just spot on, very enjoyable indeed. The accommodation package including breakfast, won't be beaten anywhere in the country, and that's for sure. I was sorry I couldn't stay at least three nights. If you want peace and quiet, and to just do nothing only eat sleep and relax for a few days, this is the place for you. Honestly, I think I gasped at the great value for money when given the price over the phone. I know from visits to this area that this hotel gets a huge percentage of return custom, and that tells a story in itself. After last night I really know firsthand why this is. I can't wait to go back again. The bus picks up in the village of Leenane for Westport or Clifden, so a little day trip to either town should definitely also be considered. Enjoy. 😏
WardyS2023-11-03Sightseeing holiday and in need of TLC. Superb Everything.... from check in to departure its truly a comfortable and enjoyable hotel, the updated walk in showers are a lovely touch. The food all freshly cooked. Steaks and Fish are faultless, breakfast makes a great start to the day. Highly recommended.
Eug3332023-11-02Lovely Lunch at the Leenane Hotel We only had lunch at this wonderful hotel and the food was a sheer delight in every bite if not every spoonful of soup/chowder that we had. The staff serving us were excellently exceptionally friendly and service oriented and simply couldn't do enough for us. The bread was so delicious that we had to be reassured it was not cake we were eating and my partner hopes the recipe will be shared. Another plus was we sat in the window and could see the world go by. An excellent afternoon of food and a great reunion spot for old and new friends alike.
eileen l2023-11-01In Love with the Leenane Hotel How do I describe this hotel? Quiet, classy country chic with Mother Nature's views waiting for you. We booked this while driving along. The manager was in the process of calling us before the kitchen closed, when we hobbled in, cranky, tired and so hungry. Considerate. Thank you. We were fortunate to make it there for dinner. Oh, what a dinner! The breakfast was phenomenal! We are still talking about it. Give the chef a hug! The rooms were great, some might say a little outdated, but I love outdated and quiet, like me. The ambiance of this hotel is priceless just like the lake across from the hotel. The staff was wonderful. This was a priceless gem to have found. Perfection.
Carmel C2023-10-31Stunning location for this beautiful traditional Connemara hotel We spent a couple of nights in Connemara in this lovely authentic hotel. The location was stunning overlooking a fjord and we were blessed with beautiful weather. Could not fault the hotel, all of the staff were helpful and welcoming . The good in the red was plentiful and excellent. I would love to return one day
Lily29012023-10-30The perfect escape I happily returned to this hotel and even though I didn't think it was possible to love it anymore they proved me wrong. There is always a warm welcome at this hotel. We had a lovely balcony room with beautiful views. The beds were comfy and the room had everything we needed. There was a great WiFi connection not that I really used it that much as this hotel is were you go to escape the world and switch off for awhile. Go drink coffee by the fire and read a good book instead of looking at your phone. You'll find yourself meeting new people and if your lucky some delightful dogs. The food here is of a very high standard. I always appreciate being looked after so well with vegan options. The worst thing about this hotel is when the time comes when you have to leave. Can't wait to return again
