stayed here friday and saturday, the staff at the desk could not have been more helpful, the room was lovely and clean we had our dinner there the friday night and my only regret was not eating there the sat as well, overall when I go back to galway the forster court would be my no.1 choice of accommodation.

Just back from a weekend in Galway - there were 7 of us staying in the Forster Court, could not fault a thing with it from the rooms, to the food and the lovely staff - all fantastic. We will definitely be back to stay again! Thanks :)

“Needs work.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We stayed one night and then moved to the Park house Hotel.
Girl on reception was amazing in fairness and also the porter,but no car park so porter parks your car in public car park for €10 per day!!!!
Lobby was dim and uninviting to say the least.
Lift small along with room ,double bed is standard size ,(like my king )
Power washing front of hotel when we pulled up so very off putting with flex caught in door so we had to push through .
Our room was at the back of the heating system and kept us awake all night.
Not some where i will return to ,but full marks to staff who between the 2 ran the show.

Room Tip: Make sure you check location of room as heating system will keep you awake.

Dear Missygirl 14,

On behalf of the team at The Forster Court Hotel, I would like to thank you for taking the time to write your recent review on your visit.

I am disappointed to read that you did not have an enjoyable stay and that your sleep was interrupted by a heating system, I am not aware of this issue but thank you I shall get my maintenance personal to investigate to insure the matter is addressed.

I was delighted that you felt that there was two of the team that stood out in particular, and that they could assist you during your stay.

Thank you for your comments with reference to the lobby, I was disappointed to read that you felt that this area is uninviting we have complimentary newspapers, guest information, fresh flowers , lounge menu to make this area welcoming.

We do a weekly deep clean (power wash) of the front of the hotel to insure that it is always spotless it is un acceptable that the hindered your entrance my apologies.

Unfortunately we do not have our own car park but thank fully can offer all our guest a 50% discount on a car park 2 minutes’ walk and offer complimentary drop off and collection.

Thank you again for your comments and you can be assuring you that all issues that you have raised shall be addressed.

Best wishes from all the team.

“Great hotel, very central, modern and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed in Galway for one night (Thursday) in January. The hotel staff did all they could to be helpful and friendly. Our room was quite nice and spacious. It overlooked the main street ant maybe I would request one that didn't if staying there again. We had dinner and it was excellent. Breakfast was very good.
The staff even suggested a later departure time and breakfast did not have the usual cut off time. The later departure allowed us more time to explore the city. Would definetly stay there again.

Room Tip: Maybe request a room not overlooking the main road.
