Our Reviews
- 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 lessAisling Una L 12/04/2022Great Group Trip We stayed here as a hen party group and I would highly recommend it. The staff were super friendly and couldn't do enough to help us, a special shout out to the staff in Queen Street restaurant who helped take down all of our hen decorations. The rooms were lovely and clean and the breakfast was delicious. It's just a 2 min walk to Eyre Square so the location is ideal. Well done to all the staff on making our visit so pleasant!read moreread lessainegreene 9/12/2021Top Notch Customer Service. From the girls on the breakfast shift to the receptionists and bar servers, all the staff greeted us with a friendly, helpful demeanour. Even the small gesture of fetching plant milk from the nearby store for breakfast when asked about was very thoughtful. The decor of the hotel was very impressive and immaculate, especially the bar area. Our room was clean and fresh, the only factor letting us down being the broken window and the sound of traffic at night because of that. Otherwise, the staff of the Victoria made our weekend away to Galway feel glamorous and special.read moreread less
- kmacginty 6/14/2022Jewel in the heart of Galway city From the moment we arrived at the Victoria, we were uplifted by the warmth of the reception we received in this gem of a hotel. Just off Eyre Square, a two minute amble from Ceannt Station, this hotel hardly could be better located. Tired after an eventful trip by bus and rail (don't ask) from Dublin, we decided to dine at the hotel's own Queen Street gastro bar. Mary has the crusted bass and I went for the Queen Stack burger. Both were splendid and decent value too. Even more impressive was the friendliness and efficiency of Paddy and the team. The room, No 306, was spotless and comfortable and even boasted an Espresso machine. Breakfast the next morning was hearty, covering all bases from fresh croissants to a substantial fry, setting us up perfectly for an eventful day on the Aran Islands (shuttle bus to Connemara Aerodrome stops right outside the front door). Then back for a night to remember in Galway's Latin Quarter ... even on a Monday the place was buzzing. For sure, we'll be back toGalway and The Victoria.

- KevConn58 12/02/2021Trip to Galway Booked this wonderful hotel for a recent first time trip to Galway. The hotel is located a short walk from both bus and train stations right in the heart of the city. I found the staff welcoming and very helpful. I can highly recommend the breakfast in the hotel, with an extensive selection of cereals, fruit and hot food on offer. Really enjoyed my stay.read moreread lessgerardwayne 3/04/2022Weekend Galway Getaway Since this hotel has been done up we've been back twice, having stayed here a few years ago when it could have done with a bit of TLC. The location is perfect for exploring Galway. Just off Eyre Square, everything is within walking distance. Food in bar restaurant was great. Service was absolutely brilliant. Could ask for nothing better. A lovely birthday weekend away courtesy of the wife. 😊😊😊read moreread lessJoe 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 less - Family_Traveler2_IN 10/23/2021Great Value and Location A very comfortable hotel in a great location, right around the corner from Eyre Square. Easy access to downtown pubs and restaurants.
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 lessNiall Kirwan 11/04/2021Nice hotel , very central , great staff , comfortable rooms , clean , big bar area ...

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.

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 lessMark Haller 4/04/2019It is currently under renovation so the entrance looks messy and items are stored in the side of the foyer. The staff are friendly and the room was a renovated one to a high standard and very comfortable and spotlessly clean.The breakfast is substantial but not clear if it is included in the price so will update after checkout.The restaurant was not open to guests the one night we considered eating in so cannot comment.Parking is in a nearby separately managed facility. It is fairly cheap at 8euro per day.The scrambled eggs are an atrocity so avoid.read moreread less
