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.

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

Although the property is about a 20 minute walk from town, it’s quiet, spacious and nicely laid out with free parking and a great breakfast. I’d recommend it as a good choice if tue location works.

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.

This hotel has a consistent problem training the cleaning staff to provide the right supplies to each room. The problem continued over the 3 days we stayed here. No soap, no facial tissues, plugged sink and toilet, dark hallways (can't see the door), tiny bath towels, no "do not disturb" door signs (and then didn't respect them when we finally got one), no drinking water, etc. I don't usually review hotels and ignore small issues, but this place does not deserve the rating it currently has.
