Great deal which included breakfast. 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 less

Maybe some work should be done on the comfort in the rooms, eg lack of wardrobes to store luggage, windows that are difficult to close, lack of flexible shower head in the shower.read moreread less - Aoife N 4/02/2022Drinks Such a lovely experience.

- 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 lessSophie Dalton 3/04/2022This hotel is a handy central location in the city, very close to the train and bus stations. Hotel breakfast included small buffet and also table service for hot breakfast. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Our room included a bath and great hot shower, comfy bed but the only personal downfall for me was that the pillows weren't comfortable. Would recommend for a quiet stay!read moreread lessalamotravels 9/24/2022Good visit to Galway Hotel was great, food was excellent , staff was helpful and the beds were comfortable.

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 less

Special mention to Dervla O’C for sharing a vast amount of recommendations of places to visit and her absolutely fantastic personality and fun, also to Max for singing to us whilst serving our drinks and to the beautiful, gentle and kind Roseanna who speaks such great English as her second language.

Although the sat nav sent us to the Clayton we eventually found it . Parking is strange in the local shopping centre but very accessible and acceptable. Have to say the staff were brilliant with a big shout out to Derbhla O’Connor. We were on the 4 course meal and B&b package modestly priced at 157euro. All in all I rate our stay very good and I would have no trouble in recommending the ‘Victoria’ to any of my friends.read moreread less

Will be back!read moreread lessGabriella Dessi' 4/04/2019Ottima posizioneread moreread lessKim G 9/22/2022Nice Hotel Property in a Good Area We stayed at this property for 3 nights. It was well located within a 15 minute walk to any of the areas within the downtown area. Less to many restaurants in the area.
It was however located on a very busy street - our rooms 106 and 103 were facing the road and extremely noisy - we were moved to an inside room 210 and it was much better so keep that in mind.
The staff onsite were all very pleasant and the morning breakfast was good. There were some continental items and then hot items made to order.
The room was an adequate size. Bathroom had nice fixtures. However the room had no drawer space - not sure why.
Overall it was a good stay and is a recommended property for some time in Galway.read 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 lessStephan Botha 4/04/2018Frindly and helpful staff.
