- Trip18669647357 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 rooms are immaculate, spacious, very comfortable indeed. So close to the Christmas Markets, which is why we visited Galway.read moreread lessdervalt 1/16/2023Comfortable, quiet, centrally-located. The hotel is in a great location, close to the train station and loads of restaurants and bars. It was quiet and comfortable, and hotel staff were friendly and helpful. My only complaints are relatively cosmetic: the room decor was a bit dull/outdated and didn't reflect the boutique aesthetic. The bathroom door was heavy glass and didn't afford much privacy. Finally, the toiletries were a mishmash of different scente and suppliers.read moreread lessliam brock 4/04/2018Staff brilliant,breakfast really good, room very comfortable,hotel situated about 1 min from Eyre Sq in the center of Galway and if you’re traveling by train or bus get yourself ready for a really long two minute walk from either station.read moreread less

- Ailbhe Leamy 4/04/2018Good Accessibility: Step-free/dropped kerbs from the train station rear exit to the bedroom door.

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.

- Burntoutmedic 11/27/2022Lovely little gem Stayed one night here for a graduation and it was a very pleasant stay. Hotel is lovely, rooms are clean and the shower is a decent size.

Complimentary car parking at a local public car park.read moreread lessjames 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 lessEoghan O'Neill 8/02/2021Hotel and room was clean and perfect but the real gems of the hotel are the bar and restaurant staff.

- 125emman 12/31/2021Good value, great location Location is ideal, right in the city centre. 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 lessE1577HIkatieh 2/27/2022Lovely hotel Great hotel. Staff very welcoming and the parking is very convenient for a city hotel. Would recommend to anyone. Very clean and modern place. Booked directly with the hotel and got the best price available.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 - Kathleen Brown 4/04/2020Nice rooms and common areas...
