Hotel Description
The HYDE Hotel is a modern boutique-style hotel located in the heart of Galway City right next to the train and bus stations and just a minute's walk from Eyre square. Located in the East Village of Galway City the HYDE Hotel formerly Forster Court Hotel is close to some of Galway's best bars and restaurants and the cobbled Shop Street the retail hub of Galway. Bedrooms at the HYDE Hotel all feature multi-channel flat-screen TVs power showers and free WiFi. They also have hairdryers and tea&coffee making facilities. We would just like to make you aware HYDE Bar is one of the most popular bars in Galway we have live music until 1am every Friday and Saturday however this means sometimes there is going to be some noise at night. We do our best to minimize this but respectfully if you are looking for an early night we might not be the perfect choice for you at the weekends Hyde Bar&Gin Parlor serves delicious freshly cooked food sourced from the finest of local ingredients. Galway Cathedral and St Nicholas Church are both within 5 minutes' walk from the hotel. Galway Racecourse is just 10 minutes' drive.

The location was great, the...

Liked: The food in both the cafe on arrival and breakfast the next morning was fabulous! I don't like hotels taht don't have a buffet style but the quality of the food more than compensated for that.
Disliked: The bedrooms were very small unfortunately, and the value for money.....when my family of five stay in a hotel for ONE night it's such a pity it has to cost us €550+ in this country!!

Exceptional staff and location

Liked: The staff made my stay even more excellent. Michelle at the front desk was very helpful when answering any questions I had. The bar staff were also fantastic. I interacted with Ricardo and Julia the most, and they were very friendly. The location of the hotel is fantastic. Super close to the bus stop, which was nice. I didn’t have to haul my heavy luggage far. I will definitely be coming back to the Hyde hotel next time I’m in Galway. Thanks y’all for a great stay!
Disliked: At night the hotel locks the front door and you have to ring to be let in. There were nights that I would be out and come back to the hotel late. It’s understandable that a worker wouldn’t be at the front desk the entire night, and they would head to the back. Due to that, I had to stand outside the hotel for a good while ringing the bell until someone came. I’d suggest that the hotel allows guests to scan their hotel card to enter instead of ringing a bell and waiting to be let in.

Very good

Liked: Great location and friendly staff
Disliked: Room ventilation isn’t great. The room was roasting so we opened the door to the terrace. Some Black mould around the edges of the sliding door.
