- 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 lessMartina W 10/21/2022Short holiday Lovely hotel spotlessly clean

The room was very clean and the towels were changed daily. We had breakfast at the hotel on one of the night and it was very nice and everything was fresh. The locust Jon is excellent and is a five minute walk from all the main attractions and train station.read moreread lessE8151BCjamesl 8/08/2021Excellent location and recently refurbished I had read mixed reviews about Victoria Hotel so wasn’t sure about my hotel choice. The poor reviews and photos seem to have been from before the renovations so if you’re looking at traveller photos, look at the date as only the newer photos really apply.
The staff in the hotel are really friendly and we had no issues at all during our stay.
Our room was spotless and the only thing I’d change is the chance to cool it down with air conditioning as it was a little hot at night even with the window open.
The hotel is perfectly located just off Eyre Square. It’s not noisy at night considering how close it is to the square.
We dined 1 of the evenings in the bar and the food was fantastic. It was a nice atmosphere in the bar with all staff adhering to Covid guidelines etc. It was table service only for drinks but the staff were very efficient and we didn’t go without once
Breakfast was a very nice on both mornings. Had to book a time slot but had no issue getting a time we wanted
Just a tip. We priced our stay on Booking .com and phoned up the Victoria to see could they match it. Not only could they offer a better rate, they added breakfast and free parking (our parking bill was €37 for the weekend) so we got a great deal by booking direct. Parking is in Hynes yard about 200m down the road.
Overall I’d definitely recommend Victoria Hotel and I will definitely be returning when we’re in the city again.read moreread lessPhilippe Gressé-Lugué 4/04/2016Restaurant un peu bruyant.read moreread less - MEBDM 3/06/2022Fantastic food and service - highly recommended So impressed with the new Queen Street bar in the Hotel, the food was fantastic but the highlight of the weekend was the staff! I have never met a crew where every single person was a joy to deal with and the service was very attentive, second to none with a wide smile! Shout out for Patrick, Spanish Sarah and all the bar staff on this weekend who made out stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Very impressed and looking forward to visiting again soon hopefully.read moreread lessPhilip Hall 7/04/2021Hotel is perfectly situated right odd Eyre Sq which makes is easy to move about by foot. The staff within the hotel are friendly and the rooms were clean and beds comfy. Food from the bar was amazing as wore the coctails, they lost a star cause of the bill system and kept getting orders mixed up and tried to charge for drinks we didn't order, this may be a staff communication issue but it was the only downfall.read moreread lessAdrienne Deegan 8/06/2020Lovely 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 less
- chiarad698 8/14/2021Amazing visit to Galway I stayed at the Victoria Hotel with my boyfriend recently for 2 nights. We had an amazing time and our stay was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have chosen a better Hotel and location for our visit in Galway. We stayed here for my Birthday on the bank holiday Monday, and the team welcomed us with a bottle of Prosecco and birthday card in our room. I love the design of the Hotel, I will definitely stay again for my next visit to Galway.read moreread lesskateoS57JU 3/20/2022A nice stay but overpriced The room was clean and comfortable , although smaller then I had expected for the price payed , there was no lock on the bathroom door which was a disappointment .

- james harbourne 9/01/2020Enjoyable three night stay in the central victoria Hotel , hotel very clean and undergoing refurbishment , great location , rooms were comfortable (pillows could improve ) and that was the thoughts of 2 other family members in different rooms also .I wasnt the lucky one to have the walk in shower in my room but mine done the job , Thanks to kevin behind the bar in the restaurant for doing his absolute best to help us enjoy our stay .Only dined once in the restaurant and the menu wasnt great (weird options) garlic bread with cheese was absolutely soaking with either olive oil or butter but barely edible(picture wet bread) as was the ham/cheese pizza very soggy base , family members enjoyed the pork belly and chicken supreme and mushroom soup .Some arguments developed at restaurant entrance with guests returning from an evening out and trying to get served a drink which wasnt allowed after 9pm due to pandemic which possibly should be handled and discussed outside the door as it made guests sitting down slightly uneasy .Some small improvements to be made but would happily return and gladly recommend ...read moreread less971mischas 8/10/2021The Best Night Porter Ever We only stayed at the Victoria for the one night but lord was it grand! The night porter, Christian (Kristian?) was supremely helpful and turned a potentially sticky situation into one of the best hotel experiences of my life.

Thank Youread moreread less - 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 .
