Top Galway City Centre Hotel Reviews

The Snug Townhouse

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms great staff. The only downside was there was no lifts or elevators so it was a maze to get up to the upstairs room especially if you have luggage is so something to note. The noise is quite significant at night time because it is right across the pub but they do offer earplugs if needed"

Nox Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I and a friend from London stayed at the Nox Hotel Galway on 14th July as a stopover on our west of Ireland trip. I had difficulty finding a hotel in Galway as the Galway Arts Festival was in full swing on that date. I was apprehensive as The Nox Hotel was graded as a 3 star hotel but on arrival had I not known I would have presumed it was 4 star. The reception area was large, modern in design with comfortable seating. The reception staff were friendly and professional. The rooms were large, comfortable and well set out with all the amenities one would expect from a four star hotel. There was a phone at reception to book a taxi at a fixed price to Eyre Square in Galway. Breakfast was buffet style with a wide selection of hot and cold items. All the food at breakfast was well presented and delicious and the staff were efficient and friendly. A couple of other guest reviews have commented about the dark corridors and it can be a bit disconcerting to step out of the lift to low lighting but main lights come on as you proceed along the corridor. It's the hotel's way of reducing its energy footprint and making the hotel more "green" and I approve of that. All in all a very enjoyable stay at the Nox Hotel and if I return to Galway would have no hesitation in booking in at the Nox Hotel again."
