- Kenta Tai 4/04/2020Very nice hotel, but was in renovation and there was no dinner service, which I understand but should have been mentioned when I booked, along with that there might be some noise. Still, overall good. Room was clean and everything was as should be.read moreread lessClarkstonMIElliott 9/24/2022Good Place to Stay in Galway The rooms were very nice and well located to shops and restaurants. Would have been nice to have in room refrigerators and better access to ice. While not the fault of the hotel, a nearby business's alarms were beeping constantly throughout our stay and was extremely annoying. However, the hotel accommodated for this by providing a fan which provided some white noise so it wasn't bad sleeping. Moreread moreread lessAndrew Wagstaff 4/04/2020Lovely hotel.read moreread less

- 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 lessTrip18669647357 11/12/20211st trip to Galway but certainly not the last, wonderful place to visit Check in was fast and very efficient, the young lady on the reception desk was lovely, polite and very helpful.

The staff are so friendly and very inviting. We were shown to our table and the ambiance of the place was lovely and warm. The food was 5 star quality and chef Ben and his team were spectacular. We will be back again with more friends 😀read moreread less
- D T 4/04/2019Can't fault the Victoria hotel despite the extensive building work going on when we stayed. Lovely extensive breakfast with so much food and choice, we left stuffed so we weren't hungry all day. Dinner the evening before was pretty tasty. Victoria is a city hotel stuck down in a tight spot but very close to Eyre Square, and all the centre of activities in the city, and its staff and workers are all very welcoming and helpful. The bedroom wasn't huge but the beds were comfortable, having a bath and a shower in the spacious bathroom was wonderful, loads of hot water and all you could need. The decor is tasteful, everything worked. The window was pretty dirty but as it's mid-winter and it was dark when we got in, following a hospital appointment, we pulled the very heavy curtains and slept very well. Great location for doing Galway City on foot and leaving the car behind, as Galway city is NOT recommended for a visitor to bring a car into. Thank you Victoria Hotel, we enjoyed your hospitality.read moreread lessmichellemL6081II 12/11/2021Top class Customer Service & Food My family and I were looking for somewhere cosy to have a bite to eat and chill out for the evening. We were so impressed with the customer service & warm welcome from the minute we came through the front door. The ambiance in the lobby/bar is warm & welcoming, the food was fabulous (lovely selection on the menu for everyone) and the cocktails were delicious. Highly recommended so well worth a visit, a true gem on the edge of Eyre Square and our next visit is already booked. Keep up the great work everyone in the Queen Street/Victoria Hotel 👏😊read moreread lessFlaminNora1519 3/09/2022Perfect location for our Galway and Aran Islands Trip From the outset this stay was exactly what we needed it to be . The reception gent was excellent - helpful , efficient and experienced . He helped us with our bags , gave directions to the free parking around the corner and answered our questions . The room was excellent and a great location for Eyre square and the City .The breakfast was good quality , efficient and tasty .We stayed here to catch the shuttle bus to Rossaveal ferry terminal to go across to the Aran islands - and it was perfect for that purpose . The pick up point is 10m up the road from the front doors ! We would have left our car in Q park for the four extra days we were away , to make use of the really good discounted rate available after the one night complimentary parking - but that rate is only accessible for 3 days , so we parked elsewhere.( I might have missed that info on the website , but If it isn’t there , it might be useful to add .) overall a great stay . Thanks Victoria hotel team - we will be back . Keep up the good work .read moreread less

- WildernessMoville 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 lessDowdGalway 1/23/2023Perfect Fabulous stay so central to everything but in a nice quiet corner lovely rooms and perfect breakfast what more could you want will be going back again this time with the kids as it suits all ages 100% perfect Moreread moreread lessMary Smyth 9/04/2021I am working close beside the hotel.I booked in last week and was totally impressed .

- ebG6347MS 9/28/2021Victoria Hotel - Excellent service! Myself and my friend recently stayed for two nights at the Victoria Hotel - Galway. Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly receptionist. We had a brought a bottle of prosecco with us to have as a celebration in our room. The receiptionist directed us to the warm and friendly front of house staff (Dearbhla), who kindly opened the bottle for us and provided us with an ice bucket to chill. We ate in the restaurant that evening and the food was incredible!! We both got the sea bass which was superb, along with the creamy sauce and chorizo. The hotel rooms were very clean and if we required anything else (such as an iron/ironing board), we were seen to immediately. Throughout the evening and during our stay the staff were very attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend a stay at this hotel!read moreread lessMike Obrien 4/04/2018I just left this fab hotel i came all the,way from fabulous linerick☺☺ had a lovely 2 night stay,lovely staff beautiful food and very nice room bed shower,I'll be coming back here again very soon and ill be telling everyone i know,about the Victoria hotel☺read moreread lessNonomarley 3/28/2022Fabulous hotel 🏨 My self and my husband stayed 4 days in this hotel from the minute we stepped in they were so nice the staff and the hotel restaurant and bar is fabulous and has a art deco feel the beds are so comfy and the Breakfast was so delicious and to top it off the Guinness was delicious too can't wait to go back happy😊read moreread less
- Dean 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.
