Nice stay

Really nice stay. The location is great. Its very close to good bars and restaurants. Staff were really friendly. Breakfast was good.Really good value for money. Small downsides, 80's decor (dark wood and creme paint) and the parking, there isnt any and due to some long standing roadworks it took ages to get to the hotel then had to drive around the block to find the multi storey. All took about an hour.

Sadly we were booked in when there was a group of students from abroad staying, who were extremely loud throughout the night. It can get quite noisy sometimes on the road beside the bus station, but other than that, it was a pleasant stay and will definitely be coming back.

Exceeded my expectations!

This hotel is situated in an excellent place in the city core. Literally it is only one or two minutes walk from the train station(only one block away). The hotel was in great condition and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was excellent, exceeding my expectations after having read the reviews. If I I ever find myself back in Ireland/Galway I will definitely go back to this hotel again.

Excellent location for walking around city centre. Parking an issue, it is close by, but beware, you pay extra (€12 per 24h). Staff very friendly and very helpful. A very pleasant stay.

Nice affordable hotel in great location

Stayed for two nights when visiting Galway. The staff was friendly, the room was nice enough but could use some updating. Also no safe in the room. The hostel down the street was much cheaper and nicer than this hotel- I'll be staying there next time. If you aren't into hostels, this would be the next best thing for the price.

Galway trip

We were on a one night stay over in the Forster Court ,we have stayed in the hotel three or four times before,the location is perfect ,hotel staff very friendly ,especially in the bar.We were very pleased with everything in the hotel, but im afraid breakfast was very disappointing,the food we got seemed to be inferior probably the worst breakfast i have had in any hotel,it definitely needs to be addressed by management.We would stay again,but would skip the breakfast.

Beautiful Galway Property

The hotel was perfectly located and wonderfully clean. The restaurant was fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only issues we had was minor. For some reason when we returned to the room at night the heat was on and the room was unbelievably hot, even though we had turned it down a few times.

Nice hotel location

The Forster Hotel is nice. It's location is great with only a 5 minute walk to the main shopping/ pub area's. The rooms are a little small but that's normal in Europe. Staff were very friendly and helpful!
