- E8151BCjamesl 8/08/2021Excellent location and recently refurbished I had read mixed reviews about Victoria Hotel so wasn’t sure about my hotel choice. The poor reviews and photos seem to have been from before the renovations so if you’re looking at traveller photos, look at the date as only the newer photos really apply.
The staff in the hotel are really friendly and we had no issues at all during our stay.
Our room was spotless and the only thing I’d change is the chance to cool it down with air conditioning as it was a little hot at night even with the window open.
The hotel is perfectly located just off Eyre Square. It’s not noisy at night considering how close it is to the square.
We dined 1 of the evenings in the bar and the food was fantastic. It was a nice atmosphere in the bar with all staff adhering to Covid guidelines etc. It was table service only for drinks but the staff were very efficient and we didn’t go without once
Breakfast was a very nice on both mornings. Had to book a time slot but had no issue getting a time we wanted
Just a tip. We priced our stay on Booking .com and phoned up the Victoria to see could they match it. Not only could they offer a better rate, they added breakfast and free parking (our parking bill was €37 for the weekend) so we got a great deal by booking direct. Parking is in Hynes yard about 200m down the road.
Overall I’d definitely recommend Victoria Hotel and I will definitely be returning when we’re in the city again.read moreread lessFoodieman20 9/16/2021Amazing food and brilliant staff Stayed for two nights, Rooms spotlessly clean, breakfast was amazing both mornings with a great selection, service staff went above and beyond
We had dinner included in our package and decided to eat the first night, the new bar is stunning and the bar team, waiters and waitresses were brilliant. Food was spectacular and cooked to perfection. compliments to the chefs.
Check in and check out were a breeze thanks to the amazing reception team
Overall an amazing experience and we are already looking at dates for another stay at the hotelread moreread less967maryannr 7/13/2022Fantastic stay at The Victoria June 26 & 27th. Will return whenever in Galway. I stayed with my 15-year-old granddaughter for two nights. I loved its accessibility to the train, first of all. We had a brilliant deal for those over 55 staying for 2 nights with 2 breakfasts and 2 full, delicious dinners. Our waitress, Dearbhla, became our guide and best pal. She found out we had come from Kilkee and brought out the lovely cook, Celine, to meet us because she hailed from there. Dearblha went out of her way to get to know us and made a list of all the shops and places to get the things we were after. Celine's cuisine was delicious and beautifully arranged. The girl at the front desk, whose name I didn't get, was also very accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. I will recommend it to all I know who visit Galway in the future and will return myself. Our room was very clean and comfortable. I only wish I had taken a a picture of Dearbhla and Celine. Cheers!

Will be back soon!!!read moreread lessjillianb587 10/17/2021Incredible Hotel in Galway City Just home from the most amazing weekend in Galway for my best friends Hen Party. As bridesmaid, the staff were most helpful in helping me organise the hen from bookings, to best value offers, complementary room upgrade, to suggestions for after dinner. Their communication with me was so prompt and helpful.
From the minute we stepped inside the door of this beautiful trendy hotel we felt most welcome and the staff couldn't do enough for us. I cannot praise highly enough the staff of the hotel, especially David, Kat, Kristen, Lisa, Matthew and their talented head chef for surpassing our high expectations and giving us the best stay ever.
Kat on reception checked us in promptly , we got complementary car parking in Q Park and proceeded to our quiet, spacious, comfortable room. The decor of the room was cool and modern and pristine clean.
David met the bride to be and I and showed us to where our party was going to be. The newly renovated bar/ restaurant was just beautiful, decorated in art deco style. He ensured from start to finish that all our requirements were met and really couldn't do enough for us.
Kristen decorated and set up our party space with the decorations/ goody bags etc I had brought and did an amazing job!! This was a huge help to me as I got to spend the afternoon with the bride to be instead of tackling decorating!
Our 3 course meal was unreal and I cannot praise the head chef highly enough for his high standard of food and presentation. Everything was delicious. The menu was so varied, plenty choice and the food was divine, presented beautifully and enjoyed by all 29 of the hen party. 100% to this amazing chef and his team. What was most noted and hughly appreciated was that we had a 2 - 2 and a quarter hour time frame in which to have dinner before a pub reservation in town. David and the head chef and waiting staff had our orders taken, and each course was adequately spread out within our time frame ensuring we weren't under pressure or left rushing to our next stop.
Our tables were waited on with such attention and we were never short of wine or drinks. Their cocktails are amazing also.
The party space we were in was perfect for our Hen Party, the interiors were just fab. An elegant, sophisticated space for an event.
This gem of a hotel is without a doubt a wonderful place to stay and dine in and is so centrally located in Galway city. I will most definitely return again to the Victoria Hotel and let it be my go to place to stay in Galway for a city break.read moreread less
