Great location but would have helped to know hotel parking is discounted public car park behind the hotel, city centre car park on fairgreen road. 24hour rate was 10 euros with hotel validation, means you can tour Galway in the morning without worrying about rushing away. Rooms modern, fabulous full Irish breakfast..

I chose this hotel based on location and other reviews and I wasn't disappointed. It it situated on a quiet street right off Eyre Square, but is very close to a lot of restaurants, pubs and right around the corner from the tourist center and bus depot. This was a great bonus since we took a couple of day trips... More

Just back from a stag in Galway. Stayed at the Forster Court. Couldn't fault it. Friendly staff, rooms were a good size and clean, good food, great location, stag/hen-friendly and good late bar the Saturday night. Stayed here a few years ago too. Will be back next time in Galway.

Yes, I liked this Hotel. I would best describe it as warm, clean and cosy, a boutique hotel. Close to the square and city centre walking distance, Not suitable for families as in no poo, play area etc. Parking is discounted at 50% with local parking company which was resonable as hotels who proivide free parking are generally out of...

Staff very helpful and friendly as we've found everywhere in Ireland. But, this room is extremely small. I've had larger accommodations in hostels. Lamps only bedside: not one to even sit and read a paper. Very poor for the price.
