- kateoS57JU 3/20/2022A nice stay but overpriced The room was clean and comfortable , although smaller then I had expected for the price payed , there was no lock on the bathroom door which was a disappointment . But apart from those small issues it was a nice stay close to the city and the breakfast was very nice.read moreread lessjkoch833456 1/01/1970Galway - Always My Pleasure Nice hotel, right in the center of Galway, in Art Deco style. We booked breakfast included. After a week's stay we can really recommend any type of breakfast, whether it's a full Irish breakfast or the mini Irish breakfast, even the vegetarian and vegan options are delicious. But you are not tied to the menu, personal preferences are just as well fulfilled. The room, facilities and cleanliness were as expected. And the staff is really nice and accommodating.read moreread lessJohn Cave 8/02/2021Beautiful place. The staff are brilliantread moreread less

- 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 lessQ1130VDshanem 9/30/2021Galway Staycation 💚 Overall, I had a great experience with the Victoria Hotel Galway.

Victoria Hotel's location was perfect for just about everything, the town center, restaurants, pubs, shopping, train and bus stations. There is a Tour Company steps from the hotel, and your tour bus picks you up across the street. The hotel offers many amenities, including excellent restaurants, a bar, and lounge. The desk staff was accommodating and friendly lounge staff. Our room and bathroom were spotless, and the beds and bedding were clean and comfortable.
This was my second stay in Victoria, Oct 2021 and Oct 2022. I like this hotel so much that I changed my itinerary to accommodate open booking at the hotel.

Definetly worth it for a city centre getaway.read moreread lessMairead O 11/25/2021Enjoyable stay My husband and I visited the Victoria Hotel in mid November. I booked a double room with breakfast included. The room was on the smaller side than some hotel rooms I have stayed in but none the less it ticked all the boxes. It was clean and comfortable and more importantly the bed was comfortable. We had no complaints about noise from the street or internally either. The breakfast was lovely and cooked freshly upon ordering. The hotel bar is so nice and a must visit. The decor is fabulous and so is the food and the staff are very friendly too. The location is excellent with it being just off Eyre Square, which makes it easily accessible to get to the Christmas Market and onto Shop street. We were both very impressed with the hotels refurbishment and would highly recommend it to friends and family. As with most hotels in Galway there is no onsite parking, however, there are some carparks nearby within walking distance of the hotel where you can safely park for the duration of your stay. As you are staying with the hotel it will be worth enquiring with them for a discount at the car park upon booking.read moreread less
