Saubere und moderne Zimmer. Sehr schönes Bad mit Glasdusche und Glastür. Parken ist im Parkhaus möglich wo man beim auschecken eine Rabattkarte bekommt, sehr nett und macht auch einiges am Preis aus.Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sind freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Direkt am Eingang befindet sich zur Zeit eine Baustelle. Da soll eine neue Bar entstehen. Den Lärm merkt man jedoch kaum.read moreread less

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 lessFamilytravelmaven 10/26/2021Convenient and nice bathroom The Victoria hotel was a good location for our one night in Galway.

- Evatobin 7/11/2021Best hotel and chef in Ireland. Room was perfect location couldn’t of been better. Staff went absolutely out of there way to make sure we were looked after. Hats off to chef Ben his menu is incredible honestly the best food we have ever eaten. We had dinner the first night and decided to cancel a booking we had for the second night just so we could try more of Bens dishes. We can’t wait to return in august. Also hats off to manager David for running such a great team. It’s Not very often you see that anymore. Even the security doorman was so friendly ensuring we got a nice table out the front when it became available. Thanks again guys. See you soon.

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 lessEvelyn Kenneally 4/04/2020Good food & atmosphereread moreread less

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 less

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 lessjames may 4/04/2019Rooms ok pity no parking at hotel restaurant is nice and staff is greatread moreread lessoliviaconlon2 7/11/2022Victoria Galway Really enjoyed our stay here.

- Sightseer49206 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 lessMauro 4/04/2018Staff was glad to help even though I just needed to get to the toilet.
