- Cora Hennessy 3/04/2022Phenomenal employees who make this hotel v special. It was absolutely excellent from Start to finish. Everywhere we met the hotel staff from initial reception to the housekeeping and restaurant/bar staff, they went over and above in terms of helpfulness, and friendliness and genuine care and attention. I cannot think of more outstanding staff across the board in all the hotels I have been in in Ireland and there has been many through work. The location obviously could not have been better. It was excellent value. We had a salad, Pizzas and cocktails, all of which were excellent. We look forward to visiting again and thank you for making our stay so special.read moreread lessAna María Aguilar 4/04/2020Muy buenoread moreread lesspc0rbelli 8/22/2022Great place to stay We enjoyed our stay at the Victoria Hotel.

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.

The staff are friendly and the room was a renovated one to a high standard and very comfortable and spotlessly clean.The breakfast is substantial but not clear if it is included in the price so will update after checkout.The restaurant was not open to guests the one night we considered eating in so cannot comment.Parking is in a nearby separately managed facility. It is fairly cheap at 8euro per day.The scrambled eggs are an atrocity so avoid.read moreread lessTom Doyle 4/04/2019Great food and friendly staffread moreread less

Would highly recommend this hotel Moreread moreread lesslisagD9341ZQ 9/22/2022Impressive upscale hotel, stellar gastro pub I've traveled Europe and the UK quite a lot and stayed in many hotels. Because I always give feedback on social media and in travel groups, I don't hesitate to be completely honest. Bad reviews travel fast; smart hotels don't forget that.
I've never recommended a hotel more highly than The Victoria. It's pricey but you're paying for a posh hotel in a prime location. For the time I booked, it was the best price for all hotels available near the city centre. At the moment, travel is eye-wateringly expensive pretty much everywhere. It's literally the price of traveling. I book near sites I want to see to avoid the price and hassle of transport. You get what you pay for.
This hotel radiates class. It positively gleams. Located around the corner from the train station and on Eyre Square, it couldn't be more convenient. Beds are comfy, housekeeping does a fantastic job, and there are loads of amenities.
The Victoria has a gastro pub so gobsmackingly good I recommend it to anyone not staying in the hotel, as well. The service and food are stellar.
I have nothing bad to say about The Victoria. Believe me, if I had anything negative I'd do so very loudly! But when you find a great place you want people to know about it. And this is a great place - chef's kiss.
