- 128pauline2013 9/24/2020Hotel so near to Eyre Sq Myself and 5 girlfriends spent 3 nights in this lovely hotel. Out rooms were on small size ..3 in each room... but because it’s an old building. Staff were so cheerful and friendly. Breakfast was good and plentiful, and the one evening meal we all enjoyed. The barman was very nice.... he had got use to us taking pint glasses of water with ice to our bedrooms (closing time)... he automatically had them ready for us. Lovely gentleman. We all definitely agreed to return again.read moreread lessSteve Clarke 10/04/2021Great location hotel inexpensive bar and restaurant with professional staff.read moreread lesscyrille Dl 4/04/2020Bien situé en plein centre de la ville chambre spacieuse et correcte parking à proximité.

Perfect location.
Friendly and professional staff.
The room we had was tiny, clean, with all comforts.
The breakfast is really good and with multiple choices, the full irish breakfast was amazing.
The only problem is: the walls of the rooms are thin, we could hear the doors slamming at night when the other guests returned in their rooms.read moreread less - james harbourne 9/01/2020Enjoyable three night stay in the central victoria Hotel , hotel very clean and undergoing refurbishment , great location , rooms were comfortable (pillows could improve ) and that was the thoughts of 2 other family members in different rooms also .I wasnt the lucky one to have the walk in shower in my room but mine done the job , Thanks to kevin behind the bar in the restaurant for doing his absolute best to help us enjoy our stay .Only dined once in the restaurant and the menu wasnt great (weird options) garlic bread with cheese was absolutely soaking with either olive oil or butter but barely edible(picture wet bread) as was the ham/cheese pizza very soggy base , family members enjoyed the pork belly and chicken supreme and mushroom soup .Some arguments developed at restaurant entrance with guests returning from an evening out and trying to get served a drink which wasnt allowed after 9pm due to pandemic which possibly should be handled and discussed outside the door as it made guests sitting down slightly uneasy .Some small improvements to be made but would happily return and gladly recommend ...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 lessklaver586388 12/08/2021Stayed here on 6th of December.

Just off Eyre Square, a two minute amble from Ceannt Station, this hotel hardly could be better located. Tired after an eventful trip by bus and rail (don't ask) from Dublin, we decided to dine at the hotel's own Queen Street gastro bar. Mary has the crusted bass and I went for the Queen Stack burger. Both were splendid and decent value too. Even more impressive was the friendliness and efficiency of Paddy and the team. The room, No 306, was spotless and comfortable and even boasted an Espresso machine. Breakfast the next morning was hearty, covering all bases from fresh croissants to a substantial fry, setting us up perfectly for an eventful day on the Aran Islands (shuttle bus to Connemara Aerodrome stops right outside the front door). Then back for a night to remember in Galway's Latin Quarter ... even on a Monday the place was buzzing. For sure, we'll be back toGalway and The Victoria. Moreread moreread less

The reception gent was excellent - helpful , efficient and experienced . He helped us with our bags , gave directions to the free parking around the corner and answered our questions . The room was excellent and a great location for Eyre square and the City .The breakfast was good quality , efficient and tasty .We stayed here to catch the shuttle bus to Rossaveal ferry terminal to go across to the Aran islands - and it was perfect for that purpose . The pick up point is 10m up the road from the front doors ! We would have left our car in Q park for the four extra days we were away , to make use of the really good discounted rate available after the one night complimentary parking - but that rate is only accessible for 3 days , so we parked elsewhere.( I might have missed that info on the website , but If it isn’t there , it might be useful to add .) overall a great stay . Thanks Victoria hotel team - we will be back . Keep up the good work .read moreread lessdjvalade 9/17/2022Would come here again! The staff was very nice and always helpful.

From the girls on the breakfast shift to the receptionists and bar servers, all the staff greeted us with a friendly, helpful demeanour. Even the small gesture of fetching plant milk from the nearby store for breakfast when asked about was very thoughtful. The decor of the hotel was very impressive and immaculate, especially the bar area. Our room was clean and fresh, the only factor letting us down being the broken window and the sound of traffic at night because of that. Otherwise, the staff of the Victoria made our weekend away to Galway feel glamorous and special.read moreread less
