In addition, hotel offers a great breakfast that was included with our booking. You get the choice of one hot AND one cold breakfast meal option from the menu. You won’t go away hungry.
They also validated parking so that we were able to park our car for free at the QPark just a block away.
Staff at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. They provided us with suggestions for places to go. Also, gladly printed out our covid test results that we needed for airport check-in.

- Neterz1979 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 lessaur_liedX1553KX 8/07/2022Nice pied à terre in Galway.

The bathrooms in the rooms were completely updated which in my opinion is the most important thing about a hotel room itself.

- denbost 10/29/2022Very nice hotel in Galway Center. 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.

Parken ist im Parkhaus möglich wo man beim auschecken eine Rabattkarte bekommt, sehr nett und macht auch einiges am Preis aus.Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sind freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Direkt am Eingang befindet sich zur Zeit eine Baustelle. Da soll eine neue Bar entstehen. Den Lärm merkt man jedoch kaum.read moreread lessD T 4/04/2019Can't fault the Victoria hotel despite the extensive building work going on when we stayed. Lovely extensive breakfast with so much food and choice, we left stuffed so we weren't hungry all day. Dinner the evening before was pretty tasty. Victoria is a city hotel stuck down in a tight spot but very close to Eyre Square, and all the centre of activities in the city, and its staff and workers are all very welcoming and helpful. The bedroom wasn't huge but the beds were comfortable, having a bath and a shower in the spacious bathroom was wonderful, loads of hot water and all you could need. The decor is tasteful, everything worked. The window was pretty dirty but as it's mid-winter and it was dark when we got in, following a hospital appointment, we pulled the very heavy curtains and slept very well. Great location for doing Galway City on foot and leaving the car behind, as Galway city is NOT recommended for a visitor to bring a car into. Thank you Victoria Hotel, we enjoyed your hospitality.read moreread lessCiaranK71 11/10/2020Exceptional Arrived to a great welcome by Aishling.
