- abigailhirn 9/09/2022Excellent location and updated/clean bathrooms in the rooms The location was perfect, staff was very friendly, and breakfast was great. The bathrooms in the rooms were completely updated which in my opinion is the most important thing about a hotel room itself. I loved that we had double vanities so my husband and I could both get ready at the same time. Excellent spot and would stay here again if we come back to Galway. Moreread moreread lessCharles2ke 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.

- alamotravels 9/24/2022Good visit to Galway Hotel was great, food was excellent , staff was helpful and the beds were comfortable. The only down side was that parking was about a block away, and not well lit -- a little disconcerting for a late night check in .read moreread lesslisagD9341ZQ 9/22/2022Impressive upscale hotel, stellar gastro pub I've traveled Europe and the UK quite a lot and stayed in many hotels. Because I always give feedback on social media and in travel groups, I don't hesitate to be completely honest. Bad reviews travel fast; smart hotels don't forget that.
I've never recommended a hotel more highly than The Victoria. It's pricey but you're paying for a posh hotel in a prime location. For the time I booked, it was the best price for all hotels available near the city centre. At the moment, travel is eye-wateringly expensive pretty much everywhere. It's literally the price of traveling. I book near sites I want to see to avoid the price and hassle of transport. You get what you pay for.
This hotel radiates class. It positively gleams. Located around the corner from the train station and on Eyre Square, it couldn't be more convenient. Beds are comfy, housekeeping does a fantastic job, and there are loads of amenities.
The Victoria has a gastro pub so gobsmackingly good I recommend it to anyone not staying in the hotel, as well. The service and food are stellar.
I have nothing bad to say about The Victoria. Believe me, if I had anything negative I'd do so very loudly! But when you find a great place you want people to know about it. And this is a great place - chef's kiss.

- Tom Doyle 4/04/2019Great food and friendly staffread 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 lessRonan0Connell 1/02/2022Fantastic renovations in this lovely hotel The Victoria has always been a lovely hotel with a great location in Galway.
