Nox Hotel

Nox Hotel

8/10 Good
"On the minus side: Location is in a semi industrial area so not close to Galway shopping and nightlife. Internet connection was not working so front desk gave me an admin password. Coverage was spotty. On the plus side: restaurant was very good and breakfast was excellent selection. Hotel was clean but hallways are very dark."

"The hotel is a bit of distance from downtown Galway. The hotel itself, fantastic!! Breakfast buffet is highly recommended, many options, hot & always replenishing. The gym was dynamite, multiple floors with new & old gym equipment. The Courtyard restaurant had great offerings & very delicious. Mollie, was unbelievably helpful, a pure delight to deal with. She made our stay much better & always there to help out."
