- MimiVivi68 10/04/2022Nice and cozy The Hotel is very well central located. There is also a car park close by.
Very clean and nicely decorated.
The Hotel staff, receptionist are very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is just OK
But I do highly recommend this place. Moreread 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 lessEugene Callaghan 4/04/2018Good value for moneyread moreread less - Familytravelmaven 10/26/2021Convenient and nice bathroom The Victoria hotel was a good location for our one night in Galway. Walking distance from the pedestrian street and restaurants as well as a walk along the waters edge. We had dessert in the restaurant attached to the hotel and it was very lively and hit the spot after a long day of driving and walking.read moreread lessEmma P 4/04/2020Great location for city center, close to bus and train station. Rooms warm and comfortable. Parking near by in the multistory, guests get a reduced overnight rate. The bar area leaves a lot to be desired but I think there was some renovations on going (which didn't disturb us).Quick and friendly check in.read moreread lessAndrea Turrini 4/04/2019Great placeread moreread less

- Dylan Fitzmaurice Condron 4/04/2018Went for drinks was really nice great atmosphereread 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 lessdermot_gannon 6/26/2021Excellent Hotel This was our 3rd time staying in the Victoria Hotel in Galway. Always brilliant, the food, staff and location -never disappoints and we look forward to our next visit to the Victoria Hotel and many visits after thatread moreread less - Evatobin 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.

- 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.
Moreread moreread lessabbyd474 3/14/2022Lovely food and friendly staff! We ate at the Queen and it was gorgeous!

Many rooms view brick walls and AC equipment.read moreread lessdivinglama 10/16/2022Great location, no noise and clean We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting. When we walked in, the hotel was clean and the service was good. Housekeeping also took good care of our room. I love how close the hotel is to everything and yet, being at the end of a street by a church meant it was quiet for us at night when sleeping. This hotel has breakfast included which entails continental options as well as ordering off the menu. We were delighted to find a hot vegan meal on the menu and had that each day along with some fruit from the continental breakfast.read moreread less

The staff are friendly and the room was a renovated one to a high standard and very comfortable and spotlessly clean.The breakfast is substantial but not clear if it is included in the price so will update after checkout.The restaurant was not open to guests the one night we considered eating in so cannot comment.Parking is in a nearby separately managed facility. It is fairly cheap at 8euro per day.The scrambled eggs are an atrocity so avoid.read moreread less
