- Charles2ke 10/07/2020Good Hotel right at city centre Good Hotel right at city centre.
Galway station and bus stop nearby.
All restaurants 2 mins walk away.
Good clean hotel with delicious paid breakfast, but was worth the pay.
Bathroom was clean and included necessary amenities. Bed linen and towels were clean and spotless.
The staff were very friendly.
Appropriate Covid measures taken.
Booked directly from their website which was cheaper than Booking.com / Trip Advisor etc.
Recommend this hotel if visiting Galway for a short stay.read moreread lessAzacc1194 3/17/2022All around great The hotel was perfectly comfortable, room service was great, the bar downstairs was fun and the staff does a great job of taking care of you.

- divinglama 10/16/2022Great location, no noise and clean We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting. When we walked in, the hotel was clean and the service was good. Housekeeping also took good care of our room. I love how close the hotel is to everything and yet, being at the end of a street by a church meant it was quiet for us at night when sleeping. This hotel has breakfast included which entails continental options as well as ordering off the menu. We were delighted to find a hot vegan meal on the menu and had that each day along with some fruit from the continental breakfast.read moreread lessElaine Gallagher 4/04/2020Very nice bedroom and the bathroom was really nice.

Staff went absolutely out of there way to make sure we were looked after. Hats off to chef Ben his menu is incredible honestly the best food we have ever eaten. We had dinner the first night and decided to cancel a booking we had for the second night just so we could try more of Bens dishes. We can’t wait to return in august. Also hats off to manager David for running such a great team. It’s Not very often you see that anymore. Even the security doorman was so friendly ensuring we got a nice table out the front when it became available. Thanks again guys. See you soon.

We booked breakfast included. After a week's stay we can really recommend any type of breakfast, whether it's a full Irish breakfast or the mini Irish breakfast, even the vegetarian and vegan options are delicious. But you are not tied to the menu, personal preferences are just as well fulfilled. The room, facilities and cleanliness were as expected. And the staff is really nice and accommodating.read moreread less602katek 6/17/2022Excellent location Excellent location, very clean. Morena in the bar was lovely and very good at her job.

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 - katelf2021 7/04/2021Brilliant service!

Although the sat nav sent us to the Clayton we eventually found it . Parking is strange in the local shopping centre but very accessible and acceptable. Have to say the staff were brilliant with a big shout out to Derbhla O’Connor. We were on the 4 course meal and B&b package modestly priced at 157euro. All in all I rate our stay very good and I would have no trouble in recommending the ‘Victoria’ to any of my friends.read moreread lessMichael Allen 4/04/2020This hotel is undergoing a much-needed renovation.
