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 My only complaints are relatively cosmetic: the room decor was a bit dull/outdated and didn't reflect the boutique aesthetic.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 lessTrail702616 6/13/2022Excellent staff- rooms small but spotless+ tasty Lovely hotel -staff excellent- very helpful, good humoured, and friendly to locals+ tourists alike. so near the train station (2 minute walk) and great shopping centre also minutes away.

- 967maryannr 7/13/2022Fantastic stay at The Victoria June 26 & 27th. Will return whenever in Galway. I stayed with my 15-year-old granddaughter for two nights. I loved its accessibility to the train, first of all. We had a brilliant deal for those over 55 staying for 2 nights with 2 breakfasts and 2 full, delicious dinners. Our waitress, Dearbhla, became our guide and best pal. She found out we had come from Kilkee and brought out the lovely cook, Celine, to meet us because she hailed from there. Dearblha went out of her way to get to know us and made a list of all the shops and places to get the things we were after. Celine's cuisine was delicious and beautifully arranged. The girl at the front desk, whose name I didn't get, was also very accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. I will recommend it to all I know who visit Galway in the future and will return myself. Our room was very clean and comfortable. I only wish I had taken a a picture of Dearbhla and Celine. Cheers! Moreread 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 lessBernard Mccormark 4/04/2019Great location breakfast not included and at 10euros extra rather pricyread 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!
The hotel is amazing, they have done a grand job of renovations, it's clean, spacious and very close to everywhere.

- kmacginty 6/14/2022Jewel in the heart of Galway city From the moment we arrived at the Victoria, we were uplifted by the warmth of the reception we received in this gem of a hotel. Just off Eyre Square, a two minute amble from Ceannt Station, this hotel hardly could be better located. Tired after an eventful trip by bus and rail (don't ask) from Dublin, we decided to dine at the hotel's own Queen Street gastro bar. Mary has the crusted bass and I went for the Queen Stack burger. Both were splendid and decent value too. Even more impressive was the friendliness and efficiency of Paddy and the team. The room, No 306, was spotless and comfortable and even boasted an Espresso machine. Breakfast the next morning was hearty, covering all bases from fresh croissants to a substantial fry, setting us up perfectly for an eventful day on the Aran Islands (shuttle bus to Connemara Aerodrome stops right outside the front door). Then back for a night to remember in Galway's Latin Quarter ... even on a Monday the place was buzzing. For sure, we'll be back toGalway and The Victoria. Moreread moreread lessJeansTrips 5/23/2022Great service, good food I visited Queen Street, the restaurant in the Victoria Hotel, with friends recently and overall, was impressed. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the portion sizes were large. The prices were fair and the food was very nice, but perhaps not as “fancy” as I was expecting. Overall though, I would recommend visiting here when in Galway.read moreread lessSakthi Narayanan 4/04/2020Good and great place to hangoutread moreread less

As bridesmaid, the staff were most helpful in helping me organise the hen from bookings, to best value offers, complementary room upgrade, to suggestions for after dinner. Their communication with me was so prompt and helpful.
From the minute we stepped inside the door of this beautiful trendy hotel we felt most welcome and the staff couldn't do enough for us. I cannot praise highly enough the staff of the hotel, especially David, Kat, Kristen, Lisa, Matthew and their talented head chef for surpassing our high expectations and giving us the best stay ever.
Kat on reception checked us in promptly , we got complementary car parking in Q Park and proceeded to our quiet, spacious, comfortable room. The decor of the room was cool and modern and pristine clean.
David met the bride to be and I and showed us to where our party was going to be. The newly renovated bar/ restaurant was just beautiful, decorated in art deco style. He ensured from start to finish that all our requirements were met and really couldn't do enough for us.
Kristen decorated and set up our party space with the decorations/ goody bags etc I had brought and did an amazing job!! This was a huge help to me as I got to spend the afternoon with the bride to be instead of tackling decorating!
Our 3 course meal was unreal and I cannot praise the head chef highly enough for his high standard of food and presentation. Everything was delicious. The menu was so varied, plenty choice and the food was divine, presented beautifully and enjoyed by all 29 of the hen party. 100% to this amazing chef and his team. What was most noted and hughly appreciated was that we had a 2 - 2 and a quarter hour time frame in which to have dinner before a pub reservation in town. David and the head chef and waiting staff had our orders taken, and each course was adequately spread out within our time frame ensuring we weren't under pressure or left rushing to our next stop.
Our tables were waited on with such attention and we were never short of wine or drinks. Their cocktails are amazing also.
The party space we were in was perfect for our Hen Party, the interiors were just fab. An elegant, sophisticated space for an event.
This gem of a hotel is without a doubt a wonderful place to stay and dine in and is so centrally located in Galway city. I will most definitely return again to the Victoria Hotel and let it be my go to place to stay in Galway for a city break.read moreread less - Ted Smith 4/04/2017Great room, great staff and great bar with a central location.
