This hotel was nice, staff was friendly. It just didn’t match the price tag at all. It was more like a Days Inn, which are fine lower end hotels, then what I expected given the price tag. We stayed at several other higher end hotels that met our expectations, this one just didn’t equate.

Nice, modern decor, on outskirts of city with ample free parking. Comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. Reasonably priced and varied menu from the on site restaurant and bar. Accessible bathroom provided for one able bodied person was not a great experience.

The Nox hotel was an amazing place to stay in Galway. The rooms were spacious and well kept. The staff was friendly and the food in the restaurant was excellent. We had breakfast there as well as a lunch and dinner. The service and food was always excellent. It was a bit of a walk to Shop street and city centre but very doable. It was about a 25 mintue walk. We took cabs sometimes and it was about a 10mintue ride. Thoroughly enjoyed this hotel and will stay there again.

The hotel is the best option for quality/price. Car park is fine. The hotel is perfectly located to reach all routes to go wherever you want and it takes just few minutes by car to reach Galway city centre. The hotel is clean, personnel kind, Fork Restaurant serves fresh and very good food. Overall experience was excellent. Strongly recommend it and for sure I’ll be back at Nox Hotel

They do not care about the safety of their guests with food allergies. Extremely rude staff in the restaurant. The shower floor is very slippery. It is dangerous. They don't do housekeeping. Make sure you don't put your towels on the floor because you will be reusing them. They have tiny garbage cans that need to be emptied daily, but don't

I would never stay at this hotel again. None of the staff ever actually acknowledge us or said hello or had a smile on their face. One of the staff members was outside in the parking lot yelling at someone on the phone. The lobby is well lit, but there are no cards for your bags a very small elevator and when you get off on your floor, it is pitch black the rooms are musty and dingy. We asked for a washcloth and they had no idea what one is. Only hand and bath towels.
