- CBHOH 6/06/2022Exceeded expectations The hotel was very clean, comfortable and a fantastic location for walking around the city and waterfront. I enjoyed the tea/coffee service in the room.
The Queen Street restaurant was delicious surprise. Excellent food, and for the high quality, prices were comparable with more casual food around town. The staff were very efficient, attentive and friendly .I hope to visit again. As a solo traveler I felt safe and comfortable.read moreread lessBarbara Wager 4/04/2019Great music played on a Saturday nightread moreread lessCarlotta Lauri 4/04/2020Nice, kind staff.

Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly.read moreread lessjpotte805519 9/22/2022Great Location The hotel is in a good location with a short walk to the touristy areas. It is very walkable to many highlighted restaurants and pubs. It is easy to walk over the bridge to a little quieter area for great food. The recommended parking lot was a little awkward but easy enough considering parking is limited in this area. The hotel gave us good directions on how to use the parking “pass”.read moreread less - Wendy M 10/08/2020Friendly and relaxed atmosphere My partner and I stayed here last weekend and I would recommend this hotel.

- Burntoutmedic 11/27/2022Lovely little gem Stayed one night here for a graduation and it was a very pleasant stay. Hotel is lovely, rooms are clean and the shower is a decent size. Breakfast was very tasty, maybe could have been a little warmer. Staff were very friendly efficient. Walking distance to shops, bars and restaurants. Complimentary car parking at a local public car park.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 less125emman 12/31/2021Good value, great location Location is ideal, right in the city centre. Free parking in a nearby multi storey which is a major bonus! Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Room is standard, clean and modern. Restaurant has been upgraded decor wise, it is very trendy and modern. Cocktails are really good and there is a great selection of drinks. My only negative of the hotel is the food in the restaurant, there wasn't one meal out of the 2 days that any of us enjoyed. Overcooked meat, chips cooked in very dirty oil and also the staff seemed to have no idea about the menu.read moreread less

We had lunch on arrival in the Bar and the food was very nice, as were the staff during our entire visit, so friendly and accommodating.

In addition, hotel offers a great breakfast that was included with our booking. You get the choice of one hot AND one cold breakfast meal option from the menu. You won’t go away hungry.
They also validated parking so that we were able to park our car for free at the QPark just a block away.
Staff at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. They provided us with suggestions for places to go. Also, gladly printed out our covid test results that we needed for airport check-in.
Definitely would stay here again.read moreread lessKenta Tai 4/04/2020Very nice hotel, but was in renovation and there was no dinner service, which I understand but should have been mentioned when I booked, along with that there might be some noise.

Myself and my friend attended the Victoria Hotel restaurant for lunch yesterday and we were *extremely* impressed. The professionalism and courtesy of the two ladies at the main hotel reception was to set the tone to follow. The cleanliness and layout if the entire foyer and restaurant and bar area was the highest standard. In particular, I was impressed by the Art Deco design of the bar area which I understand had been redesigned recently. A 1920s feel created a unique ambience. Wall designs of tropical plants and verdant growth is a cozy and interesting design feature which we discussed at length. As for the lunch itself, I was very impressed with the Cod and I had a side of Sautéed Onions. As onions are my favourite food, I was eager to taste this and I was not disappointed. They were softly done and not over cooked. My friend had the Gnocchi which was equally excellent. The manager was very professional and helpful and every place should be run like this!read moreread less
