- JeansTrips 5/23/2022Great service, good food I visited Queen Street, the restaurant in the Victoria Hotel, with friends recently and overall, was impressed.

Overall though, I would recommend visiting here when in Galway.read moreread lessNonomarley 3/28/2022Fabulous hotel 🏨 My self and my husband stayed 4 days in this hotel from the minute we stepped in they were so nice the staff and the hotel restaurant and bar is fabulous and has a art deco feel the beds are so comfy and the Breakfast was so delicious and to top it off the Guinness was delicious too can't wait to go back happy😊read moreread lessMartin MUC 4/04/2020Zentrales Hotel, bestens für eine Erkundung Galways geeignet 👍read moreread less
- Neterz1979 4/08/2022The most amazing cocktails and staff in Galway What can I say a group of us girls planned a Friday nite out we were met by Paddy at the door who was such a nice guy he checked on us all through our nite. We were served by Sara the beautiful Spanish girl who was so attentive. I have to say we tried almost every cocktail between us and everyone was more delicious then the last. We had finger food which again was delicious the wings were to die for. On all an amazing experience the nicest staff I have come across in a long long time a credit to this chic establishment. Thanks for a great nite we will be back and we will be telling everyone about our nite in Queen Street.read moreread lessnayeshac 9/21/2020Amazing hotel !

Parken ist im Parkhaus möglich wo man beim auschecken eine Rabattkarte bekommt, sehr nett und macht auch einiges am Preis aus.Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sind freundlich und Hilfsbereit.

Lovely hotel, just of Eyre Square, very quite. staff amazing, great food We always use the Victoria when we stay in Galwayread moreread less
- Joe M 10/19/2021A Gem in the City of the Tribes We stayed here recently for 3 nights and we would rate it as very good to excellent. Location is just off Eyre Square and most city attractions are within walking distance. Parking is available at nearby car park which may be complementary depending on what deal you made on your booking. The hotel may be a bit more expensive than some rivals but we feel it was worth it.
The hotel appeared to be very well maintained and plenty of Covid precautions available, although it was a pity that the hand gel dispenser at the main door did not work at any time over the 3 days. First impressions!!.
Staff were excellent and most courteous, from the housekeeping lady that allowed me jump the Que for the lift when I was bringing in the luggage to the reception staff that sorted out my parking.
The room was spotlessly clean and very well presented, although we both got a bit of a stale air smell when we entered the room as if it had not been opened up for a few days. Maybe good in these Covid times but again First Impressions.
The room was serviced each day with fresh towels and a general clean up.
Breakfast was table service and excellent both in variety and quality as well as quantity. They must have very good kitchen staff because we ate in the hotel for lunch one day and each night also and the fare was excellent. Same menu each night but there was enough for us to sample a variety of dishes.
So overall a big thumbs up to the establishment and if we were visiting the City of Tribes again, we would have no hesitation in staying here again.read moreread lessNorthStar52454582056 11/08/2021Highly Recommend Victoria Hotel has a great location, a welcoming and friendly staff, and offers clean, well-appointed rooms.

We had the lovely room with the glass case window. Bed was extremely comfortable. Room was very clean and the tub was fantastic! Staff was friendly and courteous.

Beds comfortable and bedding fresh. Restaurant and bar area comfortable and spacious. Here with friends , would definitely come back.read moreread lessniamh195 2/02/2023Winter Warmer Package My boyfriend and I recently stayed in the hotel for one night and enjoyed the Winter Warmer package.
The room was very nice, as was the bathroom in the room.
We dined in Queen Street and were disappointed on arrival to see the menu was different and smaller than the one shown on the website. The food overall was nice but nothing special. Our starters were both very nice (Caesar salad and goats cheese) however our mains were not as good (burger which was dry and fish and chips). The service in Queen Street however was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and attentive.
When leaving the bar that night we enquired what time breakfast was served until the next morning and we were told 10:30, but when we arrived for breakfast at 10:10 the following morning we were told breakfast had stopped being served which was again, disappointing as we had breakfast included in our stay. The girl who was in the restaurant cleaning up told us we could take any of the continental breakfast that had not been put away yet back up to our room with us which we did.
Despite these few things, we still had a lovely stay and would return sometime in the future.read moreread lessFamilytravelmaven 10/26/2021Convenient and nice bathroom The Victoria hotel was a good location for our one night in Galway.

- thealmostveggie 9/05/2020Great location, close to everything! My partner and I booked in for three nights as I had a hotels voucher from work, we found the Victoria lovely! Basically in Eyre Square, so close to everything. TV had many channels for when the weather wasn't great, the room had tea, coffee and kettle, the bed was comfortable and the staff were very polite! Other than construction noise (which was beyond their control really,) I can't say anything negative about my stay.read moreread lessMary 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 lessTom Doyle 4/04/2019Great food and friendly staffread moreread less
