ISO does need to go lower, but to compensate:
Consider using the flash to assist low light shots.
Also, tripods and longer exposures... The S5, for all its bulk, is quite a light camera and can be mounted on a miniscule cheap tripod to greatly improve longer shots.
The 'night snapshot' mode on the dial is actually quite good at low light (yes, it's an auto mode) and may deserve a look in.
Unfortunately, a little noise is often inevitable, due to such a featured camera having such a tiny sensor... Try turning down the size of your photos, it may reduce visible noise... the 'medium' size on the S5 is still extremely printable.
Here's one I prepared earlier
