- Adrienne Deegan 9/04/2020Lovely hotel....down a side street off Eyre Square...good value for money....room spacious, clean & recently renovated....reception staff very helpful with issues we hadread moreread lessSightseer49206 11/23/2022Would highly recommend So I booked a two night stay for two of us to do Xmas shopping. 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 lessRobert McGivney 10/04/2021Great location, good staff and a nice barread moreread less

Internal glazing would help to keep noise out.read moreread lessAideen B 10/06/2020Great value and good location Myself and 2 friends stayed here for the weekend recently.
The hotel and carpark,which is located a 5 minute walk away,were easy to find.

The rooms are spacious and modern,with wonderfully comfortable beds and pillows.
The location is perfect,right beside Eyre Square,so no need to use taxis.

Will return whenever in Galway. I stayed with my 15-year-old granddaughter for two nights. I loved its accessibility to the train, first of all. We had a brilliant deal for those over 55 staying for 2 nights with 2 breakfasts and 2 full, delicious dinners. Our waitress, Dearbhla, became our guide and best pal. She found out we had come from Kilkee and brought out the lovely cook, Celine, to meet us because she hailed from there. Dearblha went out of her way to get to know us and made a list of all the shops and places to get the things we were after. Celine's cuisine was delicious and beautifully arranged. The girl at the front desk, whose name I didn't get, was also very accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. I will recommend it to all I know who visit Galway in the future and will return myself. Our room was very clean and comfortable. I only wish I had taken a a picture of Dearbhla and Celine. Cheers!

Would definitely stay againread moreread less - denbost 10/29/2022Very nice hotel in Galway Center. Victoria Hotel's location was perfect for just about everything, the town center, restaurants, pubs, shopping, train and bus stations. There is a Tour Company steps from the hotel, and your tour bus picks you up across the street. The hotel offers many amenities, including excellent restaurants, a bar, and lounge. The desk staff was accommodating and friendly lounge staff. Our room and bathroom were spotless, and the beds and bedding were clean and comfortable.
This was my second stay in Victoria, Oct 2021 and Oct 2022. I like this hotel so much that I changed my itinerary to accommodate open booking at the hotel.

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. Rooms were warm and cosy, bedding very comfortable and perfect for what we needed. We would all go back again for another visit as we had a fantastic weekend in every way.read moreread less
