The hotel room was just beautiful and my friend had a brownie with happy birthday written on it for when we arrived and she loved every bit of it just as much as I did.

I can't compliment the staff enough, some of the friendliest staff I've ever came across, they are so good at their job! The food was amazing also absolutely no complaints. All round one of the best experience for a night out in a loooooong time.
Oh and the cocktails so good
Thanks so muchread moreread less - jpotte805519 9/22/2022Great Location The hotel is in a good location with a short walk to the touristy areas. 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 lessSteven Russell 4/04/2018Good location, huge rooms!read moreread lessJJ Martin 4/04/2018So friendly and so quaint!read moreread less

The breakfast was very good good choice of food, the staff in the room where they served breakfast were very good, polite & helpful . one of the best things about this hotel is its location, it's close to the shops & the station is just around the corner, their is a good fish & chip shop in the town called MCDonagh's which is good value.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.

- 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 lessRobert McGivney 10/04/2021Great location, good staff and a nice barread moreread lessAtomicHD 4/04/2019Supurb staff rooms comfy standard and quite concudering its busy in galway..staff very helpfull if u dont know the area they will ask your interests n make suggestingsread moreread less

Bathroom was clean and included necessary amenities. Bed linen and towels were clean and spotless.

Appropriate Covid measures taken.

Reception staff super helpful. Would recommend for a city break in Galway!read moreread lessniamh195 2/02/2023Winter Warmer Package My boyfriend and I recently stayed in the hotel for one night and enjoyed the Winter Warmer package.
The room was very nice, as was the bathroom in the room.
We dined in Queen Street and were disappointed on arrival to see the menu was different and smaller than the one shown on the website. The food overall was nice but nothing special. Our starters were both very nice (Caesar salad and goats cheese) however our mains were not as good (burger which was dry and fish and chips). The service in Queen Street however was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and attentive.
When leaving the bar that night we enquired what time breakfast was served until the next morning and we were told 10:30, but when we arrived for breakfast at 10:10 the following morning we were told breakfast had stopped being served which was again, disappointing as we had breakfast included in our stay. The girl who was in the restaurant cleaning up told us we could take any of the continental breakfast that had not been put away yet back up to our room with us which we did.
Despite these few things, we still had a lovely stay and would return sometime in the future.read moreread less - 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 lesscatherine o'donnell 4/04/2018Beautiful hotel in the heart of the city.

Free parking in a nearby multi storey which is a major bonus! Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Room is standard, clean and modern. Restaurant has been upgraded decor wise, it is very trendy and modern. Cocktails are really good and there is a great selection of drinks. My only negative of the hotel is the food in the restaurant, there wasn't one meal out of the 2 days that any of us enjoyed. Overcooked meat, chips cooked in very dirty oil and also the staff seemed to have no idea about the menu.read moreread lessMary Boylan 4/04/2019Perfectread moreread less
