Great location but a little noisy. Not sure about all the rooms but ours was noisy. Good breakfast.

The Galmont
This property was great. The only reason not a five star on the staff is because we didn’t have contact with many staff due to checking in and out on the kiosk. The amenities were really good but hours were not great - closed too early. But overall hotel was a really good stay.

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway
Hotel is older, with older style and amenities. Rooms and communal areas were clean. It is located a bit outside of the city center and within about a 20-minute walk to the square. There is an onsite restaurant with bar. Breakfast buffet was nice. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Nox Hotel
Great breakfast. Lots of parking. Big issue is weak WIFI signal. Thought it was my computer and phone but heard others at breakfast discussing this issue.
