Top Galway Hotel Reviews

Nox Hotel

Nox Hotel

8/10 Good
"Pros: Clean, comfortable, safe, and quiet. Breakfast was quite good, and staff were very friendly and helpful. Cons: A bit too far from the city centre with not much around in terms of restaurants, etc.. Approximately a 30-35 minute walk into town from the property, or a 15 minute bus or taxi ride. Continental breakfast not included unless you add it to your room rate for an extra cost. Wifi was shoddy and didn’t connect half the time."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"The location was perfect, steps away from the Latin Quarter and the Spanish Arch. The hotel was very safe and offered breakfast as well as a lounge/bar area that served food. There is also a large outdoor area with picnic tables and seating that is next to the river. The staff were very helpful in recommending food options and things to do in town. The rooms were nice, but smaller in the european style. The location is hard to beat, as you're in the middle of everything that downtown has to offer. I was very impressed by this place."
