The hotel was nice and clean. The room was large for Europe. It’s outside of Galway city center so you do need a car or taxi to get to the sight. Hotel staff were wonderful and accommodating. Dinner in the hotel restaurant was above average for what you typically think of. The only problem we had was that the toilet in our room was so weak you had to flush over and over and over.

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

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.

Very comfortable beds, spacious room, excellent breakfast. Relaxed atmosphere, but I found the dark dreys of the walls and flors somewhat depressing - perhaps matching a depressing present! I liked the ample outside seatings.

We've been driving Ireland for a week and this was such a lovely stay. Pristine property & building, excellent staff, great breakfast and dinner at Fork. Room was comfortable, clean, spacious and had everything you could need except tissues. A minor oversight. Laundry service was also offered, which after a week we needed, and they did everything as asked. Such a respite after put last stop, will definitely stay here again.

Just outside of town, but made for some good night's sleep and a bit or RnR. If you're driving Ireland, this is a great option as it's easy to get on the Motorways for Cliffs of Moher and other great sites in the area.
