We stayed here on the 10th-12th May the room & the bathroom was OK. The breakfast was very good good choice of food, the staff in the room where they served breakfast were very good, polite & helpful . one of the best things about this hotel is its location, it's close to the shops & the station is just around the corner, their is a good fish & chip shop in the town called MCDonagh's which is good value.read moreread lessitsmish 3/15/2022Great Hotel, Friendly Staff The hotel is in a great location, close to everything. Walking distance to what feels like an endless amount of shops, restaurants, and activities. Rooms are clean, semi-modern, and well equipped. No fridge in basic rooms though.

Friendly and very efficient check in. Our twin room was a nice size and a nice bathroom with great shower .It is in a great location for bus and train stations. It is also in a great location just off Eyre square .

- Mary H 7/11/2022You let us down badly The hotel needs some serious updating. I requested gluten free breakfast for my husband and despite sending me messages that “we have great gluten free options for you” we were told they had no gluten free bread to make toast!! Such a simple and basic thing to provide. When we checked in the receptionist told us they had taken note that 1 guest needed a gluten free breakfast so why did the fail to provide? The room was very small and the lift had me saying prayers when we used it as it very clunky. Obviously would not recommend.read moreread lessNiall Ward 8/04/2020Lovely experience, really nice staff but I would've loving to have a windowread moreread lessTrail702616 6/13/2022Excellent staff- rooms small but spotless+ tasty Lovely hotel -staff excellent- very helpful, good humoured, and friendly to locals+ tourists alike. so near the train station (2 minute walk) and great shopping centre also minutes away.

The hotel is very pleasant, the staff is friendly, excellent breakfast, close proximity to the city center.
Maybe some work should be done on the comfort in the rooms, eg lack of wardrobes to store luggage, windows that are difficult to close, lack of flexible shower head in the shower.read moreread lessJohn Daly 4/04/2020Very nice experienceread moreread less - Mary Christmas 4/04/2018Great hotel.

Lovely extensive breakfast with so much food and choice, we left stuffed so we weren't hungry all day. Dinner the evening before was pretty tasty. Victoria is a city hotel stuck down in a tight spot but very close to Eyre Square, and all the centre of activities in the city, and its staff and workers are all very welcoming and helpful. The bedroom wasn't huge but the beds were comfortable, having a bath and a shower in the spacious bathroom was wonderful, loads of hot water and all you could need. The decor is tasteful, everything worked. The window was pretty dirty but as it's mid-winter and it was dark when we got in, following a hospital appointment, we pulled the very heavy curtains and slept very well. Great location for doing Galway City on foot and leaving the car behind, as Galway city is NOT recommended for a visitor to bring a car into. Thank you Victoria Hotel, we enjoyed your hospitality.read moreread lessGeraldine Murphy 4/04/2020Very nice hotel, bedrooms immaculately clean.

It is fairly cheap at 8euro per day.The scrambled eggs are an atrocity so avoid.read moreread less
