Great location in the city with garage parking just around the corner. We got a free room upgrade because the tv in our room wasn’t working. The staff were very courteous and apologetic. The upgraded room had a wonderful modern bathroom with rainfall shower.

The HYDE Hotel is a modern, boutique-style hotel situated 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 minimise 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 Parlour 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.

This is our guests' favourite part of Galway, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

HYDE Hotel has been welcoming Booking.com guests since 12 Dec 2005.
