“Great Value”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW via mobile

We only had one night here & it wasn't enough. Staff were so nice & helpful, our room was great & great location. The breakfast was included & the staff there also could not do enough to help. So much more pleasant than our stay in Dublin.

“Great location”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

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..

Dear Lyn 61, As standard, we do inform all our guests about the car park facilities located for the Fortser Court Hotel. However, if you made your reservation online, this detail would not show, but we are delighted that the car park suited all your needs for your trip to Galway. We would like to thank you for your wonderful... More

“Perfect location, great value, excellent accomodation!”

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

“Great Spot”

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.

“Small small small”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

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.
