- Evelyn Kenneally 4/04/2020Good food & 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 lessJerSars 1/22/2022Great staff and lovely stay Staff are so kind and welcoming. They are very knowledgeable of the business and their number one priority is the customer. The room is quite spacious and is quite modern. The bathrooms are very pretty. Hotel is everything you need in the heart of Galway.read moreread less - hmoone262874 12/05/2022Elegant hotel with excellent location, good food and friendly staff We recently had a ladies weekend in Galway to visit the Christmas Markets and stayed at the Victoria Hotel. The hotel's location is excellent, just minutes from Eyre Square and the main shopping district and restaurants. You can walk everywhere. The decor is elegant and attractive. We had lunch on arrival in the Bar and the food was very nice, as were the staff during our entire visit, so friendly and accommodating. Rooms were warm and cosy, bedding very comfortable and perfect for what we needed. We would all go back again for another visit as we had a fantastic weekend in every way.read moreread lessJohn Daly 4/04/2020Very nice experienceread moreread lessMartina Mulvaney 7/03/2021I say in the hotel all the time when Im in Galway the room are lovely staff are lovely helpful if you need anything the food is greatread moreread less
- D T 4/04/2019Can't fault the Victoria hotel despite the extensive building work going on when we stayed. Lovely extensive breakfast with so much food and choice, we left stuffed so we weren't hungry all day. Dinner the evening before was pretty tasty. Victoria is a city hotel stuck down in a tight spot but very close to Eyre Square, and all the centre of activities in the city, and its staff and workers are all very welcoming and helpful. The bedroom wasn't huge but the beds were comfortable, having a bath and a shower in the spacious bathroom was wonderful, loads of hot water and all you could need. The decor is tasteful, everything worked. The window was pretty dirty but as it's mid-winter and it was dark when we got in, following a hospital appointment, we pulled the very heavy curtains and slept very well. Great location for doing Galway City on foot and leaving the car behind, as Galway city is NOT recommended for a visitor to bring a car into. Thank you Victoria Hotel, we enjoyed your hospitality.read moreread lesskarenJohnson677 8/30/2021The most lovely staff I have ever encountered I really enjoyed my time at the Victoria from the excellent location to the brilliant staff, every moment was fantastic.
The room was very clean and sanitised well. I had breakfast both mornings and loved it, the waitress Aoibhe took great care of me and provided tip top customer service. Thank you Aoibhe and co!!

Great spot to stay.read moreread less - Mark Haller 4/04/2019It is currently under renovation so the entrance looks messy and items are stored in the side of the foyer. 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 lessCarlo 4/04/2019Hotel carino, in fase di ristrutturazione che non crea disagi.
