Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway
Breakfast had some of the worst fruit I have ever had. Limited choices. Walls were very thin and could hear everything from neighbors/hallway.

Nox Hotel
This property is great. Parking is plentiful and it’s quiet. The staff are lovely and the rooms and public spaces are nice. The bar is in the restaurant so we never used it (which is probably good - the restaurant always seemed full). On that note, we did eat in the restaurant and it was very good. ...
