- Nuala M 9/20/2022Staying in Victoria Hotel We had a great time in the Victoria Hotel, great central location, only a couple of minutes from Shop Street.
The breakfast and dinner we had at the hotel were lovely and the staff went above and beyond - special shout out to Dearbhla in the restaurant who was super helpful
TIP: hotel is located near a busy thoroughfare from Eyre Square so ask for a quiet room if available. Moreread moreread lessjillianb587 10/17/2021Incredible Hotel in Galway City Just home from the most amazing weekend in Galway for my best friends Hen Party. As bridesmaid, the staff were most helpful in helping me organise the hen from bookings, to best value offers, complementary room upgrade, to suggestions for after dinner. Their communication with me was so prompt and helpful.
From the minute we stepped inside the door of this beautiful trendy hotel we felt most welcome and the staff couldn't do enough for us. I cannot praise highly enough the staff of the hotel, especially David, Kat, Kristen, Lisa, Matthew and their talented head chef for surpassing our high expectations and giving us the best stay ever.
Kat on reception checked us in promptly , we got complementary car parking in Q Park and proceeded to our quiet, spacious, comfortable room. The decor of the room was cool and modern and pristine clean.
David met the bride to be and I and showed us to where our party was going to be. The newly renovated bar/ restaurant was just beautiful, decorated in art deco style. He ensured from start to finish that all our requirements were met and really couldn't do enough for us.
Kristen decorated and set up our party space with the decorations/ goody bags etc I had brought and did an amazing job!! This was a huge help to me as I got to spend the afternoon with the bride to be instead of tackling decorating!
Our 3 course meal was unreal and I cannot praise the head chef highly enough for his high standard of food and presentation. Everything was delicious. The menu was so varied, plenty choice and the food was divine, presented beautifully and enjoyed by all 29 of the hen party. 100% to this amazing chef and his team. What was most noted and hughly appreciated was that we had a 2 - 2 and a quarter hour time frame in which to have dinner before a pub reservation in town. David and the head chef and waiting staff had our orders taken, and each course was adequately spread out within our time frame ensuring we weren't under pressure or left rushing to our next stop.
Our tables were waited on with such attention and we were never short of wine or drinks. Their cocktails are amazing also.
The party space we were in was perfect for our Hen Party, the interiors were just fab. An elegant, sophisticated space for an event.
This gem of a hotel is without a doubt a wonderful place to stay and dine in and is so centrally located in Galway city.

- heatherm883 12/01/2021Winter get away My husband and I are just home from 3 very enjoyable nights at The Victoria Hotel. From the friendly welcome at check in where the very pleasant receptionist (from Derry) assisted us to move rooms to suit my preferences, the friendly and helpful breakfast server (from Laois) Dearbhla in the restaurant and the lovely Lisa who checked us, the staff are fabulous without fault. The bedrooms are clean and comfy with tea/coffee facilities, safe, hairdryer, toiletries and a television.
We had bed and breakfast with evening meal and everything we ate was delicious and well presented.
Parking was not on site but a few minutes walk to a multi storey car park and free parking with the card from the car park.
Location is perfect with a few minutes walk to the Main Street and within walking distance to most tourist sites.
Definitely well worth a stay and we are now looking forward to an excuse to return.read moreread lessLeigh Hay 4/04/2019Lovely refurbished room.Full amenities.Great room servicingHelpful staff.Would definitely recommendread moreread lessFlaminNora1519 3/09/2022Perfect location for our Galway and Aran Islands Trip From the outset this stay was exactly what we needed it to be . The reception gent was excellent - helpful , efficient and experienced . He helped us with our bags , gave directions to the free parking around the corner and answered our questions . The room was excellent and a great location for Eyre square and the City .The breakfast was good quality , efficient and tasty .We stayed here to catch the shuttle bus to Rossaveal ferry terminal to go across to the Aran islands - and it was perfect for that purpose . The pick up point is 10m up the road from the front doors ! We would have left our car in Q park for the four extra days we were away , to make use of the really good discounted rate available after the one night complimentary parking - but that rate is only accessible for 3 days , so we parked elsewhere.( I might have missed that info on the website , but If it isn’t there , it might be useful to add .) overall a great stay .

- B2610EFmichaelk 10/14/2021Excellent! Myself and my friend attended the Victoria Hotel restaurant for lunch yesterday and we were *extremely* impressed. The professionalism and courtesy of the two ladies at the main hotel reception was to set the tone to follow. The cleanliness and layout if the entire foyer and restaurant and bar area was the highest standard. In particular, I was impressed by the Art Deco design of the bar area which I understand had been redesigned recently. A 1920s feel created a unique ambience. Wall designs of tropical plants and verdant growth is a cozy and interesting design feature which we discussed at length. As for the lunch itself, I was very impressed with the Cod and I had a side of Sautéed Onions. As onions are my favourite food, I was eager to taste this and I was not disappointed. They were softly done and not over cooked. My friend had the Gnocchi which was equally excellent. The manager was very professional and helpful and every place should be run like this!read moreread lessasiaorzech 3/15/2022Awesome hotel This hotel is conveniently located and has a great bar and restaurant downstairs.

The poor reviews and photos seem to have been from before the renovations so if you’re looking at traveller photos, look at the date as only the newer photos really apply.
The staff in the hotel are really friendly and we had no issues at all during our stay.
Our room was spotless and the only thing I’d change is the chance to cool it down with air conditioning as it was a little hot at night even with the window open.
The hotel is perfectly located just off Eyre Square. It’s not noisy at night considering how close it is to the square.
We dined 1 of the evenings in the bar and the food was fantastic. It was a nice atmosphere in the bar with all staff adhering to Covid guidelines etc. It was table service only for drinks but the staff were very efficient and we didn’t go without once
Breakfast was a very nice on both mornings. Had to book a time slot but had no issue getting a time we wanted
Just a tip. We priced our stay on Booking .com and phoned up the Victoria to see could they match it. Not only could they offer a better rate, they added breakfast and free parking (our parking bill was €37 for the weekend) so we got a great deal by booking direct. Parking is in Hynes yard about 200m down the road.
Overall I’d definitely recommend Victoria Hotel and I will definitely be returning when we’re in the city again.read moreread lessQ1130VDshanem 9/30/2021Galway Staycation 💚 Overall, I had a great experience with the Victoria Hotel Galway.
