I had the pleasure in staying in the Forster Court Hotel last Wednesday I was in Galway on business and got a very competitive rate. As i am in the business i do like to stay in different hotels. To pick up different tips. Their customer service is excellent and it is the genuine welcome. Not " Have a nice day". There was complimentary Evening and Morning Newspapers for the guests. I have seen this in the Park House when i stayed their last time.

I stayed in 306. A large enough room with a balcony. Very handy for smokers. The bathroom was spotless and overall i was impressed with the decor.

I was not in the mood for a formal dinner. I ate off the barfood menu. there is a nice selection of wholesome food to choose from Chicken Pasta Dishes, Steak Sandwiches to Irish Stew. I had the irish Stew perfect size portion.

The breakfast the next morning was cooked to order. As i do work in the business i very rarely eat breakfast. But i had Scrambled egg and bacon which was excellent.

Overall very impressed with this Hotel.

We stayed at the Forster Court hotel at the weekend and would definitely stay there again. Our room was spacious with good facilities including an iron & ironing board and a kettle for tea or coffee. The bed was a king and was really comfortable.The bathroom was big with a great power shower!!The hotel also provided bottled water for brushing your teeth as you still can't drink the tap water in Galway.
The hotel is in a great location, literally a couple of seconds walk from Eyre Square and the car park is right at the back of the hotel. Had breakfast delivered to the room and it was nice and hot! The staff were friendly and the girls on reception very efficient and helpful.

Would definitely recommend this hotel to friends.

Rooms are quite small but standard of accommodation was fine and it is in a great location just off Eyre Square. Most staff friendly. There was a water scare in the area which meant bottled water needed to be used and it would have been nice if the Forster Court had done what other Galway hotels were doing (according to the newspapers) and left bottled water in the room rather than a note telling you not to brush your teeth under the tap! I'm sure it wouldn't have destroyed their profit margin.
Car parking available virtually next door which was handy. Breakfast fine, didn't eat there.

Stay in the forster hotel recently with another my partner and another couple. The hotel was very easy to find and parking was provided in the multi-level car park at the back of the hotel. The room were clean and had everything we needed. The hotel is located just 2-3 mins from eyre square and the shops which was very good. We had a nice meal one night in the hotel and breakfast was also good. We took the change to visit the cliff of mohir in co.clare which was a nice visit. All in all it was a value for money trip
