Pros:

The Nox hotel is located on the outskirts of Galway which made it ideal for exploring the area. It is also a short drive into the city. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The staff are all very friendly and personable. There is a great selection of food at the breakfast buffet. I stayed 5 nights in October

Pros:

Overall, it was a good stay. Bed was comfortable, staff was attentive. Breakfast was above average for a “comes with the room” situation. Biggest negative was lighting. Hallways were dark and not all motion sensors worked as you walked down the hallway. And the bathroom in our room would have benefited greatly with more lighting.

Pros:

This hotel is in a sort of industrial/business park area. It was great for parking, but otherwise unremarkable area. It was about a 1.5 mile walk into town along a fairly busy road. It is close to a Dunnes and a Tesco. The room was just fine if slightly shabby, but the bathroom was very dark and needs renovating. While we didn't love the hotel, we did love the staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the morning was hot and delicious - I found plenty of vegan options.

Pros:

Just reminded me of the service I used to receive before cut backs. The check in was effortless and everything after that was so easy and nice, not that we needed to ask for anything.
The staff were fantastic!!!!

No sleep
Pros:

I got no sleep at all in the hotel due to a constant loud noise like a fan or pump right beside my bathroom. It was loud enough to keep me awake all night when I mentioned this to staff they didn’t even say sorry they just said you’ve paid up.

Wonderful place to stay. The only negative things was the lighting in the bathroom and room was a bit darker than we like. They are very energy efficient which is a good thing.

Pros:

This was a nice property but a bit of a walk to the tourist, shopping and restaurants area. We were all walkers and the way to walk to all the activities was a flat walk so that didn't effect us, but if you're not a walker you'd have to be adding costs for Uber or taxis to your stay. Otherwise we were very happy with this property and would stay here again.

Pros:

Convenient location on the outskirts of Galway City with free parking and easy transportation into the city center. As nice as it is to be in the middle of the action in Galway, the City Center is so congested anymore that staying just out of the fray can be helpful sometimes

Pros:

The hotel is, let’s say “perfectly adequate.” Relatively clean and about a 20 minute walk into town. There are no shops or restaurants nearby. My wife says it’s like an airport hotel, that is, it’s a bit austere and off the beaten path. It gets the job done, but no frills. The staff was helpful and accommodating.

Good hotel.
Pros:

Friendly & helpful staff, nice sitting areas in lobby area and good restaurant. Location is a bit far away from anything so if you were thinking of walking to another restaurant for dinner, it would be too far. Main complaint, is the dark hallways and dark rooms. The bathroom was so dark that I had to put my makeup on standing g by the window. And the pillows all need to be replaced. I had read about other complaints about the pillows but when I saw for myself, one was as flat as a pancake and the 2nd was just okay. But nice staff and a generally okay place to stay.
