- Assunta D 9/13/2020Excellent set-up measures for covid 19 !
Perfect location.
Friendly and professional staff.
The room we had was tiny, clean, with all comforts.
The breakfast is really good and with multiple choices, the full irish breakfast was amazing.
The only problem is: the walls of the rooms are thin, we could hear the doors slamming at night when the other guests returned in their rooms.read moreread lessWildernessMoville 3/11/2022Scholarships at NUIG Every year we present cheques for scholarships to nurses that are involved in Palliative Paediatric Care so this year we stayed at the very appropriately named Victoria Hotel. Although the sat nav sent us to the Clayton we eventually found it . Parking is strange in the local shopping centre but very accessible and acceptable. Have to say the staff were brilliant with a big shout out to Derbhla O’Connor. We were on the 4 course meal and B&b package modestly priced at 157euro. All in all I rate our stay very good and I would have no trouble in recommending the ‘Victoria’ to any of my friends.read moreread lessAndrew Wagstaff 4/04/2020Lovely hotel.read moreread less - Y3378XElouiseh 11/13/2021Family break in Galway We booked a weekend at the Victoria Hotel for my dad's 70th birthday, we were a group of seven.

But I do highly recommend this place. Moreread moreread less967maryannr 7/13/2022Fantastic stay at The Victoria June 26 & 27th. 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!

Just off Eyre Square so in reach if everything you need for your stay in Galway City.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 lessLaurenB3080 12/04/2022Great November Stay - ideal location Fantastic staff. Great stay. They couldn’t do enough for us.

- una 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 lessGeraldine Murphy 4/04/2020Very nice hotel, bedrooms immaculately clean. Undergoing renovation at present so no evening dinner being served.

I would recommend this hotel 🖒read 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.
