- elanskid 4/13/2022Lovely stay Lovely pizza for dinner and very friendly and helpful waitress in the very cool Queen St restaurant. Great central location in the city centre & lots of large floral arrangements in oversized ornamental vases .Room is small and cosyread moreread lessMEBDM 3/06/2022Fantastic food and service - highly recommended So impressed with the new Queen Street bar in the Hotel, the food was fantastic but the highlight of the weekend was the staff! I have never met a crew where every single person was a joy to deal with and the service was very attentive, second to none with a wide smile! Shout out for Patrick, Spanish Sarah and all the bar staff on this weekend who made out stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Very impressed and looking forward to visiting again soon hopefully.read moreread lesselena n 8/31/2020Great stay in a lovely hotel A group of us stayed here for the weekend in August 2020 for a socially distanced reunion.

- Louis M 3/11/2022Orders of magnitude above Pleasant. Staff were very attentive, and friendly to deal with. Service was fantastic , and the atmosphere, very uplifting. Food and drink sublime in equal measure. The decoration alone would be a reason for return. A restaurant worthy of patronage.read moreread lessEvatobin 7/11/2021Best hotel and chef in Ireland. 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.

Thanks for a lovely stay! :)read moreread lessainegreene 9/12/2021Top Notch Customer Service. From the girls on the breakfast shift to the receptionists and bar servers, all the staff greeted us with a friendly, helpful demeanour. Even the small gesture of fetching plant milk from the nearby store for breakfast when asked about was very thoughtful. The decor of the hotel was very impressive and immaculate, especially the bar area. Our room was clean and fresh, the only factor letting us down being the broken window and the sound of traffic at night because of that. Otherwise, the staff of the Victoria made our weekend away to Galway feel glamorous and special.read moreread less - jpotte805519 9/22/2022Great Location The hotel is in a good location with a short walk to the touristy areas. It is very walkable to many highlighted restaurants and pubs. It is easy to walk over the bridge to a little quieter area for great food. The recommended parking lot was a little awkward but easy enough considering parking is limited in this area. The hotel gave us good directions on how to use the parking “pass”.read moreread lesssarahpB8012IX 10/10/2021Amazing stay with fantastic customer service We did a weekend getaway we had amazing time the staff are so lovely and welcoming and food was exquisite, would 100% recommend this to any couple the prices are brilliant and very reasonable for a couple looking for a weekend away on a budgetread moreread lesskatelf2021 7/04/2021Brilliant service!
