Great communication from booking to check in. We had a voucher from before covid which the hotel honoured under the circumstances. On site restuarant and bar which is handy
Fab location too. Free parking and includes breakfast.
Would definitely return!read moreread lessuna ONeill Mangan 4/04/2020Renovations going on in the hotel ( although I didn't see any going on) Reception and dining/bar area toilets down stairs need revamp urgently. But they have done work in the Bedrooms. They're lovely, spacious and spotless clean. The girl at Reception I think her name is Zoe was fantastic at her job and was so very helpful and nice with it, also the Barman that was there Friday and Saturday night November 8th/9th he was so good at his job and friendly . I would really recommend this Hotel as it is just around the corner from Train/Bus station and just a small walk from Eyre Square. Really enjoyed my stay here.read moreread less - E B 10/04/2021Myself and my friend recently stayed for two nights at the Victoria Hotel - Galway. Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly receptionist. We had a brought a bottle of prosecco with us to have as a celebration in our room. The receiptionist directed us to the warm and friendly front of house staff (Dearbhla), who kindly opened the bottle for us and provided us with an ice bucket to chill. We ate in the restaurant that evening and the food was incredible!! We both got the sea bass which was superb, along with the creamy sauce and chorizo. The hotel rooms were very clean and if we required anything else (such as an iron/ironing board), we were seen to immediately. Throughout the evening and during our stay the staff were very attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend a stay at this hotel!read moreread lessNov71 9/17/2021Galway staycation Stayed at the Victoria for 4 nights with my wife. Every member of staff we encountered could not have been more polite or helpful. From the reception to dining room. The breakfast service and food was also excellent. So much choice. We had dinner in the bar one evening and again the food was great. Really impressed and we would definitely stay again if in Galway. Moreread moreread lessJoe M 10/19/2021A Gem in the City of the Tribes We stayed here recently for 3 nights and we would rate it as very good to excellent. Location is just off Eyre Square and most city attractions are within walking distance. Parking is available at nearby car park which may be complementary depending on what deal you made on your booking. The hotel may be a bit more expensive than some rivals but we feel it was worth it.
The hotel appeared to be very well maintained and plenty of Covid precautions available, although it was a pity that the hand gel dispenser at the main door did not work at any time over the 3 days. First impressions!!.
Staff were excellent and most courteous, from the housekeeping lady that allowed me jump the Que for the lift when I was bringing in the luggage to the reception staff that sorted out my parking.
The room was spotlessly clean and very well presented, although we both got a bit of a stale air smell when we entered the room as if it had not been opened up for a few days. Maybe good in these Covid times but again First Impressions.
The room was serviced each day with fresh towels and a general clean up.
Breakfast was table service and excellent both in variety and quality as well as quantity. They must have very good kitchen staff because we ate in the hotel for lunch one day and each night also and the fare was excellent. Same menu each night but there was enough for us to sample a variety of dishes.
So overall a big thumbs up to the establishment and if we were visiting the City of Tribes again, we would have no hesitation in staying here again.read moreread less - 967maryannr 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!

Covid-19 guidlines very well adhered to, location was perfect for us with Eyre Square only 20 seconds up the street, food and service were brilliant, rooms clean, great breakfast. Staff were very polite especially David the manager.
One bit of advise when booking, we booked at first with booking.com but then got a cheaper rate by booking direct with the hotel and we also got breakfast included and parkingread moreread lessMary Boylan 4/04/2019Perfectread moreread less - Mairead O 11/25/2021Enjoyable stay My husband and I visited the Victoria Hotel in mid November. I booked a double room with breakfast included. The room was on the smaller side than some hotel rooms I have stayed in but none the less it ticked all the boxes. It was clean and comfortable and more importantly the bed was comfortable. We had no complaints about noise from the street or internally either. The breakfast was lovely and cooked freshly upon ordering. The hotel bar is so nice and a must visit. The decor is fabulous and so is the food and the staff are very friendly too. The location is excellent with it being just off Eyre Square, which makes it easily accessible to get to the Christmas Market and onto Shop street. We were both very impressed with the hotels refurbishment and would highly recommend it to friends and family. As with most hotels in Galway there is no onsite parking, however, there are some carparks nearby within walking distance of the hotel where you can safely park for the duration of your stay. As you are staying with the hotel it will be worth enquiring with them for a discount at the car park upon booking.read moreread lessFrank Ennis 4/04/2018Lovely kind of old hotel which adds to its reputation.

Everywhere we met the hotel staff from initial reception to the housekeeping and restaurant/bar staff, they went over and above in terms of helpfulness, and friendliness and genuine care and attention. I cannot think of more outstanding staff across the board in all the hotels I have been in in Ireland and there has been many through work. The location obviously could not have been better. It was excellent value. We had a salad, Pizzas and cocktails, all of which were excellent. We look forward to visiting again and thank you for making our stay so special.read moreread less
