We had a booking last week for 6 people arriving from Australia to stay 2 nights. When we arrived there was a sign on door to say closed due to flood but we hadn't been notified.

Galway break

Hotel and staff were very good. Noise at night not good but not hotels fault. Was very noisy on street. But very convenient location for shopping and restaurants. Very helpful receptionists.

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.

Excellent location

Great location close to Eyre Square and great pubs and shopping. No need to look any further.

8/10 Very good

まずまずのホテルです

バスのターミナルから歩いて1分と大きな荷物をもった旅行者には便利です。 町の中心までも歩いて10分かかりませんし、近所にスーパーなどもあります。 ただ部屋自体は特に代わり映えしませんし、付近にも多くのホテルがありますので、比較しながら予約するのがよいかと思います。

10/10 Exceptional

거의 완벽

코치스테이션에서 버스내려 바로 길 건너 인포센터에서 투어 예약한 뒤 바로 옆에 있는 호텔로 들어가 체크인 한 뒤 바로 시내구경하러 나갔습니다. 주변에 마트도 있고 레스토랑, 까페, 공원.ㅈ 정말 위치대박! 직원들도 진심 친절했고 가격 대비 만족도 높습니다. 다시 골웨이에 간다면 당연히 이 곳으로 갈 겁니다

Galway visit

Location was good but we were disturbed in the middle of the night by other drunken guests. Breakfast was v average.

Hotel Normal en un buen sitio

Lo mejor del hotel fue su ubicación, muy centrica. no tenia parquing, pero se podía aparcar relativamente cerca. La habitación daba a un patio totalmente lleno de trastos y suciedad. El precio un poco caro, aunque en Galway los hoteles suelen ser caros. Los desayunos bastante completos. el personal regular, un poco antipaticos sin ganas de ayudar, a diferencia de la gente de Irlanda. Si tienes coche, mejor buscar un B&B

top hotel

Very good hotel. Convenient location. Highly reccomend.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Viaggio di lavoro. Ottima posizione poichè accanto alla stazione dei bus e a due minuti dal centro.

Одно из удобных мест для остановки в Голуэй

Приличный отель в самом центре города. Приветливое обслуживание. Хороший чистый номер. Очень хороший завтрак: помимо континентального "шведского" стола предоставляется полный горячий Ирландский завтрак. Рекомендации для администрации: приделать где-нибудь в номере стационарную открывалку для бутылок и поставить настольную лампу на письменный стол.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

コークはここだね

このホテルは改装したあり、とてもきれい。スタッフも丁寧でいいかんじ。ロケーションもよし。ビクトリアホテルにも泊まったけど、断然こっちをおすすめします。ビクトリアは古い、ぼろい、騒音ひどい、そしてWi-Fiが二日間も壊れていた。

Very close to city . Well located

Overnight stay with my daughter which we really enjoyed . Great centre city location with parking in near by public car park at discounted rate . Really enjoyed breakfast esp the fresh fruits and yogurt .

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.
