Room was perfect location couldn’t of been better. Staff went absolutely out of there way to make sure we were looked after. Hats off to chef Ben his menu is incredible honestly the best food we have ever eaten. We had dinner the first night and decided to cancel a booking we had for the second night just so we could try more of Bens dishes. We can’t wait to return in august. Also hats off to manager David for running such a great team. It’s Not very often you see that anymore. Even the security doorman was so friendly ensuring we got a nice table out the front when it became available. Thanks again guys. See you soon.

Galway station and bus stop nearby.
All restaurants 2 mins walk away.
Good clean hotel with delicious paid breakfast, but was worth the pay.
Bathroom was clean and included necessary amenities. Bed linen and towels were clean and spotless.
The staff were very friendly.
Appropriate Covid measures taken.
Booked directly from their website which was cheaper than Booking.com / Trip Advisor etc.
Recommend this hotel if visiting Galway for a short stay.read moreread lessQ1130VDshanem 9/30/2021Galway Staycation 💚 Overall, I had a great experience with the Victoria Hotel Galway. The staff was incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great.

The hotel is located a short walk from both bus and train stations right in the heart of the city. I found the staff welcoming and very helpful. I can highly recommend the breakfast in the hotel, with an extensive selection of cereals, fruit and hot food on offer. Really enjoyed my stay.read moreread lessJoe M 10/19/2021A Gem in the City of the Tribes We stayed here recently for 3 nights and we would rate it as very good to excellent. Location is just off Eyre Square and most city attractions are within walking distance. Parking is available at nearby car park which may be complementary depending on what deal you made on your booking. The hotel may be a bit more expensive than some rivals but we feel it was worth it.
The hotel appeared to be very well maintained and plenty of Covid precautions available, although it was a pity that the hand gel dispenser at the main door did not work at any time over the 3 days. First impressions!!.
Staff were excellent and most courteous, from the housekeeping lady that allowed me jump the Que for the lift when I was bringing in the luggage to the reception staff that sorted out my parking.
The room was spotlessly clean and very well presented, although we both got a bit of a stale air smell when we entered the room as if it had not been opened up for a few days. Maybe good in these Covid times but again First Impressions.
The room was serviced each day with fresh towels and a general clean up.
Breakfast was table service and excellent both in variety and quality as well as quantity. They must have very good kitchen staff because we ate in the hotel for lunch one day and each night also and the fare was excellent. Same menu each night but there was enough for us to sample a variety of dishes.
So overall a big thumbs up to the establishment and if we were visiting the City of Tribes again, we would have no hesitation in staying here again.read moreread less - Relax824040 9/16/2021The Victoria Hotel in Galway Stayed in Victoria Hotel13-15 Sept., Hotel was spotless & staff were as good as its gets.

OK, this was a nice enough hotel with an excellent location.
The only strange thing that i'd never experienced before was at the breakfast.
When we asked for coffee - we both drink coffee, 99% of the time we would get a pot of coffee brought to the table. Here at this hotel, we were given a cup of boiling water each, with 2 sachets of instant dried coffee. This is the little coffee packet you would find next to your kettle in the room.
To get a proper cup, we were told we needed to pay 3 euro per cup. I've never experienced this before, otherwise its a nice hotel.read moreread lessmarmacby2 7/05/2022Midweek break We Loved the renovations it made our stay very comfortable- rooms were clean and the staff efficient and friendly particularly the staff serving breakfast
