- 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 lessCarol S 7/31/2022weekend away The Hotel was lovely. Staff we're excellent and very friendly and helpful. It had a great bar, lovely menu good value food and a complimentary cocktail on arrival at the hotel. Only thing about the hotel was that there was no Car Park and you'd to pay for the Parking which was a bit Irish and the rooms where small. Other than that I couldn't fault ot.

The breakfast and dinner we had at the hotel were lovely and the staff went above and beyond - special shout out to Dearbhla in the restaurant who was super helpful

- Chloeoc1999 1/01/1970Friends birthday Me and my friend stayed here last week and we couldn’t have been more happy with the service. Every single staff member were so helpful with any questions we had to ask. The hotel room was just beautiful and my friend had a brownie with happy birthday written on it for when we arrived and she loved every bit of it just as much as I did. We would like to thank ye all for accommodating us and for all ten friendly staff that we spoke with during our trip. Would highly recommend this hotel Moreread moreread lessDean C 6/10/2021Wonderful welcome Everything is great. Lovely room and welcome. We got here 3 hours early but we got us into our room 15 mins after we arrived and the gent on the desk offered great advice and was very helpful. We waited in the bar and got drinks and eggs Florentine for breakfast. That was the only downside. The portion was tiny but in fairness tasted great. Not good value for money. All in all the staff are great and specially our server in the restaurant. I know it's rough times for everyone in hospitality at the moment having just reopened but you're doing a great job. Hats off.

- D T 4/04/2019Can't fault the Victoria hotel despite the extensive building work going on when we stayed. 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 lessjanna80226 12/21/2022Nice place to stay Great location. Easy to find from the station.

Great deal which included breakfast. Location is superb, we were able to do multiple shopping trips haha. Staff are an absolute delight, especially Ciara on reception. Rooms are absolutely fabulous, booked a twin and got a double and single bed. Incredibly comfortable beds and loved the walk in shower, only thing was the frosted bathroom door doesn't give much privacy. Breakfast was nice but limited on hot food choice - did appreciate being able to change egg option. Plus breakfast is only til 10am. Definitely would book to stay here again :)read moreread lessKevConn58 12/02/2021Trip to Galway Booked this wonderful hotel for a recent first time trip to Galway.

It was absolutely excellent from Start to finish. 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 lessmegsfromcork 8/14/2021Will be back Stayed here for 2 days and it was great lovely hotel good food great staff Galway very good place to visit and this hotel is just off eyrs sq so very near to everything coach station only5 mins away also train stationread moreread lessJerSars 1/22/2022Great staff and lovely stay Staff are so kind and welcoming.
