Really fine hotel. Clean, affordable and central. Pretty much everywhere in Galway is central though. Paul in the reception was really helpful, staff members are welcoming. I would take restaurant as a separate review, not to spoil a rating for the hotel. Double room is specious, has a kettle and all needed for a relaxed stay. Do walk down the... More

If you are like me there is always some uncertainty about booking a hotel in city you have never visited. Is it clean? What about the neighborhood and surroundings? What about noise? On our recent trip to Galway we arrived by train, so we wanted a hotel close to the station. I looked at several on line, Forster Court had... More

This hotel is close to Eyre Square and the pedestrian area of the city....so very convenient for visitors. The room was comfortable and clean....but the duvet did notfit the bed!!! we fought for cover all night!! Bathroom could do with upgrade. Good pubs and eateries in the vicinity. Breakfast was very good. More

This hotel is definitely one of the best in Galway! It's only a couple of blocks from Eyre square, and there are shops and pubs right there. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. They helped us print out a voucher for a tour and even brought it to our room. The food was great in the restaurant... More

Stayed for my birthday last November using a DealRush voucher. The hotel is right in the city centre about 2 minutes walk from Eyre Square. Staff were all very nice, and the food was good, especially their brown bread of which we got a loaf to bring home along with some yummy cookies. Their restaurant is more of a steakhouse... More

Had a great weekend at this hotel on our 2nd visit in last year , service staff and attention to detail is 2nd to none. Location is 1 of the strong selling points but this place is well run and it shows by seeing that it's no1 rated hotel , that doesn't happen by accident ! Thanks to all at... More

The hotel is located in the city center and is just a couple of minutes walk from all of the shopping and eating one could handle. The staff were always very helpful, from giving us a walking street map, giving directions and circling places to check out, helping us get the bus for our trip to Inis Mor, and doing... More

My hens and I stayed here last weekend from Friday to Sunday and were all incredibly impressed by the level of service we received. From the moment we arrived en masse to the last stragglers to the coach station, we were treated superbly. Cocktail lessons on Friday with Shay (Ooohh Shaayyyy!!!!), Peter in the restaurant and Leo in the bar,... More

My husband and I stayed in this hotel on May 11th, having first consulted Tripadvisor reviews. It is reviewed as being the best hotel in Galway, but what a disappointment! This is the first time we've been misled by Tripadvisor reviews. The first room they gave us was a double which smelt of smoke, so we asked to change rooms.... More
