I requested gluten free breakfast for my husband and despite sending me messages that “we have great gluten free options for you” we were told they had no gluten free bread to make toast!! Such a simple and basic thing to provide. When we checked in the receptionist told us they had taken note that 1 guest needed a gluten free breakfast so why did the fail to provide? The room was very small and the lift had me saying prayers when we used it as it very clunky. Obviously would not recommend.read moreread less

Location is superb, we were able to do multiple shopping trips haha. Staff are an absolute delight, especially Ciara on reception. Rooms are absolutely fabulous, booked a twin and got a double and single bed. Incredibly comfortable beds and loved the walk in shower, only thing was the frosted bathroom door doesn't give much privacy. Breakfast was nice but limited on hot food choice - did appreciate being able to change egg option. Plus breakfast is only til 10am. Definitely would book to stay here again :)read moreread lessAssunta D 10/04/2020Excellent set-up measures for covid 19 !Perfect location.Friendly and professional staff.The room we had was tiny, clean, with all comforts.The breakfast is really good and with multiple choices, the full irish breakfast was amazing.The only problem is: the walls of the rooms are thin, we could hear the doors slamming at night when the other guests returned in their rooms.read moreread less
- CBHOH 6/06/2022Exceeded expectations The hotel was very clean, comfortable and a fantastic location for walking around the city and waterfront. I enjoyed the tea/coffee service in the room.

The staff were very efficient, attentive and friendly .I hope to visit again.

Great little hotel. In the very heart of Galway. Very clean and friendly. Only negative was the breakfast, plentiful for the continental but of low quality for the cooked breakfast. Eat out so many nice eateries. Would return in a flash.read moreread less - Joe 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 lessQ1130VDshanem 9/30/2021Galway Staycation 💚 Overall, I had a great experience with the Victoria Hotel Galway.

Every member of staff we encountered could not have been more polite or helpful. From the reception to dining room. The breakfast service and food was also excellent. So much choice.

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 less - 967maryannr 7/13/2022Fantastic stay at The Victoria June 26 & 27th. Will return whenever in Galway. I stayed with my 15-year-old granddaughter for two nights. I loved its accessibility to the train, first of all. We had a brilliant deal for those over 55 staying for 2 nights with 2 breakfasts and 2 full, delicious dinners. Our waitress, Dearbhla, became our guide and best pal. She found out we had come from Kilkee and brought out the lovely cook, Celine, to meet us because she hailed from there. Dearblha went out of her way to get to know us and made a list of all the shops and places to get the things we were after. Celine's cuisine was delicious and beautifully arranged. The girl at the front desk, whose name I didn't get, was also very accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. I will recommend it to all I know who visit Galway in the future and will return myself. Our room was very clean and comfortable. I only wish I had taken a a picture of Dearbhla and Celine. Cheers!

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 lessFrank Ennis 4/04/2018Lovely kind of old hotel which adds to its reputation.
