This property does not have air condition in the rooms. Many of the hotels in Galway don’t. Just need to know that as in August, it’s a little unpleasant without air.

Great place to stay. We were looking for somewhere a little closer to town but nothing available….. Then saw Nox Hotel was available just up the road a little…. We just missed the bus in to town so ended up walking and it wasn’t far anyways. Super easy Parking, nice room, yummy Breakfast. Staff were very friendly, and we had a very nice dinner in the restaurant the 2nd night :) Would recommend

Good location. Easy parking. Beautiful facility with lots of spaces to sit and chat. Staff is very welcoming. Breakfast was very good with lots of hot and cold choices. Our room was lovely and very clean. The only negative was the lighting. The hotel is extremely eco friendly to the point that the lighting is sparse and very low. If I had been a woman traveling alone, I would not have liked being in the hallways especially at night. During the day there are windows that help, but at night it is extremely dark. On the plus side, the elevator broke and the staff was very reactive. It was fixed within 30 minutes. Best response I’ve ever seen at a hotel over an issue.

We did not have a very nice stay at this property. Our first room had a strong smell of smoke, and while the staff was very apologetic and genuinely so, the only option was the accessible room, which did not really suit or needs. Moreover, the facility was generally just a bit run-down. Breakfast was OK, but the staff seemed a bit over-worked on this holiday weekend. I would consider other options before I stayed here again.

Area towards front of hotel was a very nice indoor space to chill and wait for transport. Only one elevator for guests and staff created waits. Limited counterspace in bathroom.

Fine for location not for comfort
My recent stay at Nox hotel left much to be desired. Despite the initial allure of the hotel's amenities and location, the actual experience fell short in several significant areas. First and foremost, the double bed in my room had a mattress topper that was not only placed upside-down, with the zipper on top, but it was also not secured to the mattress. This resulted in the topper sliding around during the night, leading to a very uncomfortable sleep. The second single bed was even worse, with a mattress that was noticeably saggy in the middle and offered little support. The state of cleanliness in the room was concerning. The window surround was covered in dense cobwebs, had spots of what appeared to be mould, and was layered with grime. The bathroom, too, had its issues. There was no extractor fan, so after showering, the steam and humidity lingered unpleasantly. Additionally, the ceiling tiles in the shower had not been cleaned thoroughly, further detracting from the overall hygiene. The in-room temperature control was ineffective, making it impossible to adjust the room to a comfortable temperature. Breakfast was another disappointment. While it was a buffet, the quality and availability of food were subpar. On the first day, I was served undercooked white pudding. The second day's breakfast was even worse, with many items running out and not being replenished. Overall, my stay at Nox hotel was far from satisfactory. The combination of poor

The rooms are clean and well appointed but the lighting in the hallway is very dim. Only one small elevator made for occasionally long waits.

Nice modern business hotel
We enjoyed our stay. Very clean and modern hotel which seemed to specialize in business travellers but we enjoyed it as a couple as well. Large comfortable rooms, great service, and good breakfast options. About a 20 minute walk from downtown. Markets and pharmacy close by.

A total ripped off, 300€ a night with a horrible breakfast that a had to queue for 10 min to be able to grab something. Never again is not compatible the amount of money with what you get.
