Nice Hotel
Hotel is very clean and has a really nice bar area. The room itself was also very nice. I just wish they had Air conditioning cause it was warm outside. Bed was comfy for a hotel bed. Would recommend.

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.

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.

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.
