Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was shambolic. The facilities could not cope with the quantity of coach parties booked in with guests having to queue in reception for tables at breakfast as the restaurant was not big enough and the staff were slow to fix issues with coffee machine and replenish buffet. The tables were so tightly squeezed in it was difficult to navigate everyone standing waiting around. It is basically a hotel on a very busy ring road the traffic on which made it difficult to get to. It is basically a step up from a travelodge. The soundproofing is so poor we were woken continually in the night by other guest knocking on each others doors and talking, this went on until 4am. I would definitely not recommend it

Disliked: Amenities
The lobby was really nice and the staff were welcoming. There were two problems. There was a large dark shampoo/soap dispenser affixed to the shower wall. Mid-shower I discovered that it was almost completely empty. I barely had enough soap for my body and couldn’t wash my hair. Terrible experience to not be able to finish my shower and as the dispenser was so large, it must have been a very long time since they checked something that should be checked and topped up after every changeover. Made me wonder what else they weren’t doing at changeover. The other problem was at breakfast they kept running out of food.

Staff was super friendly and welcoming! Food at the restaurant was very delicious! It was a 25 min walk from the city center in case you’re booking and want to be next to the city! The rooms are average, clean but no AC (they do offer a fan if you want)

This was a convenient place to stay. We had one of the better meals on our trip here. The pizza and chicken was exceptionally good. We did not realize the hotel did not have air conditioning. They supplied us with fans and the windows were open so that helped. The facility could use a facelift. However, all in all, it was a good place to stay.

The property was uplifting and fun. Lots of varied guests. Breakfast was delicious and reasonably priced. Weather was unseasonably warm so they gave us fans to help cool the room. It’s a five minute taxi ride from the center but worth it to be in a quiet part of town away from the mayhem. Consider the Nox on your next visit to Galway.

A nice modern hotel. Restaurant on the premices has a varied abd tasty menu. Morning buffet is well supplied. Downsides are: distance from historical centre (a 30min walk along a busy boulvard, but manageable) and uninteresting neighbourhood.

we loved everything about this hotel. From checkin to checkout. Rooms are spacious and they have smart TV. The bar service from the ladies was awesome, especially from “Kara” so funny and engaging. Breakfast was very good and they had same day laundry service. Very close to downtown and the cab drivers are hilarious. Highly recommend this hotel 5 star all the way

If you are an American 🇺🇸 the room is small. The lobby and breakfast is beautiful. However the room is small and not updated like the lobby. The picture of the rooms are misleading.

It’s the location. Very poorly sited. If you’re on foot, it’s a mile from town, half of which is along a noisy, always car filled road. Buses aren’t close. Your much better bet is to find somewhere else. The other thing is that you just don’t get that Irish cheer that’s so wonderfully pervasive.
