The property was fantastic! The staff was very helpful and courteous. My room was clean and very presentable! Breakfast and dinner options were fabulous and distance to the City center was very easy. I will definitely return when I come to Galway next time!

High-end feel without the price. Front desk personnel were friendly & helpful. Biggest issue, which is the case with most hotels in Ireland was the lack of air conditioning. Opening a window doesn’t offer much relief when there is no way to create circulation. Would suggest having fans in the room to help guests not be so uncomfortable. Or just spend the money & install something like wall air conditioner in each room. Overall nice hotel though.

Comfortable, clean, friendly.

Nox is a good hotel. Comfortable, clean, with friendly staff. Not luxurious but will do nicely for a quick stopover. I’d definitely stay there again on future business trips to Galway.
