stayed there after christmas ,great bar staff and waiting staff.But the general manager(who tried to tell us that he was not the general manager) is not management material. Loud and rude just about sums him up. I made a complaint to him and he hid and ignored us. The food in the restaurant could be good If the chef on... More

The staff at the Forster Court Hotel were exceptional. For example, Alisha (sp?) was able to track down a camera I had left in a cab earlier in the day and have it returned to the hotel. But all the front desk staff were helpful and the most pleasant people. The hotel was centrally located near Eyre Square. We were... More

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.

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
