- hmmartin2022 12/07/2022Definitely recommend Lovely experience. Fabulous hotels and lovely atmosphere. Can not fault. Staff all very helpful and friendly.Perfect location close to everything. Restaurant on site is perfect for a night in, bar staff really improved the experience.read moreread lessNuala M 9/20/2022Staying in Victoria Hotel We had a great time in the Victoria Hotel, great central location, only a couple of minutes from Shop Street.
The breakfast and dinner we had at the hotel were lovely and the staff went above and beyond - special shout out to Dearbhla in the restaurant who was super helpful
TIP: hotel is located near a busy thoroughfare from Eyre Square so ask for a quiet room if available. Moreread 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 - Rdcfs 11/06/2021Perfect base for a Galway City break.

Restaurant has an absolutely amazing cocktail selection.read moreread lessuna 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 . I would really recommend this Hotel as it is just around the corner from Train/Bus station and just a small walk from Eyre Square. Really enjoyed my stay here.read moreread lessRamón Sánchez Verdú 4/04/2018Un buen hotel para poder visitar Galway. La relación calidad precio es excelente.

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 lessNeterz1979 4/08/2022The most amazing cocktails and staff in Galway What can I say a group of us girls planned a Friday nite out we were met by Paddy at the door who was such a nice guy he checked on us all through our nite. We were served by Sara the beautiful Spanish girl who was so attentive. I have to say we tried almost every cocktail between us and everyone was more delicious then the last. We had finger food which again was delicious the wings were to die for. On all an amazing experience the nicest staff I have come across in a long long time a credit to this chic establishment. Thanks for a great nite we will be back and we will be telling everyone about our nite in Queen Street.read moreread less
- Pasenger47 9/28/20215* Staycation Two Nights in the Victoria hotel and we have to say the staff were amazing and couldnt do enough for us.
Covid-19 guidlines very well adhered to, location was perfect for us with Eyre Square only 20 seconds up the street, food and service were brilliant, rooms clean, great breakfast. Staff were very polite especially David the manager.
One bit of advise when booking, we booked at first with booking.com but then got a cheaper rate by booking direct with the hotel and we also got breakfast included and parkingread moreread lessFamilytravelmaven 10/26/2021Convenient and nice bathroom The Victoria hotel was a good location for our one night in Galway.

The family rooms are very spacious and reasonably priced. Restaurant not really in operation and neither is bar and the ‘free drink’ promised on the website wasn’t ever mentioned while here. Nevertheless I’ll be back, because the location is great and the staff are nice - and its keenly priced.read moreread less

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 less - Mary Smyth 9/04/2021I am working close beside the hotel.I booked in last week and was totally impressed .

- cuan kenneally 4/04/2019Lovely hotel newly done upread moreread lessB2610EFmichaelk 10/14/2021Excellent! Myself and my friend attended the Victoria Hotel restaurant for lunch yesterday and we were *extremely* impressed. The professionalism and courtesy of the two ladies at the main hotel reception was to set the tone to follow. The cleanliness and layout if the entire foyer and restaurant and bar area was the highest standard. In particular, I was impressed by the Art Deco design of the bar area which I understand had been redesigned recently. A 1920s feel created a unique ambience. Wall designs of tropical plants and verdant growth is a cozy and interesting design feature which we discussed at length. As for the lunch itself, I was very impressed with the Cod and I had a side of Sautéed Onions. As onions are my favourite food, I was eager to taste this and I was not disappointed. They were softly done and not over cooked. My friend had the Gnocchi which was equally excellent. The manager was very professional and helpful and every place should be run like this!read moreread lessAndrew Wagstaff 4/04/2020Lovely hotel.read moreread less

So much so that we ate in the second night too, but still no room left to try the chocolate brownie !Breakfast, great choice also.
Staff very pleasant especially the lovely Dervla who even captured on camera us in our "costumes " the first night, hen as a "box of crayons" and chicks as 7 individual coloured crayons!
All the staff were lovely, friendly, polite and Sarah was our waitress who also did an amazing job!
