Forster Street Off Eyre Square, Galway, ., Ireland
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.

Poor
The receptionist was very kind, the location is very good, and it was clean.
We experienced a huge disappointment at the restaurant. After waiting for 1–2 minutes near the reception area (where guests usually wait to be seated), and despite staff looking right at us, no one came to help us. We decided to sit down at a table ourselves. Although the restaurant was empty and the staff looked at us multiple times, we were not even given drinks or menus. Ultimately, we decided to leave. The radiator was extremely loud at night, even though it was turned off. We woke up several times during the night because of it. When we last stayed here a few days ago, the female receptionist said she would change our booking from November 9th to January 3rd and claimed she had done it but we found out yesterday that she hadn't. When I mentioned this to the receptionist (pointing out that we had stayed here before and wanted to come back in the future), it turned out it wasn't corrected at all. If we hadn't come, we wouldn't have even found out about this.
