We were so impressed with the customer service & warm welcome from the minute we came through the front door. The ambiance in the lobby/bar is warm & welcoming, the food was fabulous (lovely selection on the menu for everyone) and the cocktails were delicious. Highly recommended so well worth a visit, a true gem on the edge of Eyre Square and our next visit is already booked.

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.

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 lessMary Christmas 4/04/2018Great hotel. Nice staff.

The room was very nice, as was the bathroom in the room.
We dined in Queen Street and were disappointed on arrival to see the menu was different and smaller than the one shown on the website. The food overall was nice but nothing special. Our starters were both very nice (Caesar salad and goats cheese) however our mains were not as good (burger which was dry and fish and chips). The service in Queen Street however was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and attentive.
When leaving the bar that night we enquired what time breakfast was served until the next morning and we were told 10:30, but when we arrived for breakfast at 10:10 the following morning we were told breakfast had stopped being served which was again, disappointing as we had breakfast included in our stay. The girl who was in the restaurant cleaning up told us we could take any of the continental breakfast that had not been put away yet back up to our room with us which we did.
Despite these few things, we still had a lovely stay and would return sometime in the future.read moreread lessFiona Malone 4/04/2019Close to everything and a beautiful place to stayread moreread less - Shirley S 4/09/2022Great place, stayed for daughters hen party 8 of us staying here for my daughters hen party.

So much so that we ate in the second night too, but still no room left to try the chocolate brownie !Breakfast, great choice also.
Staff very pleasant especially the lovely Dervla who even captured on camera us in our "costumes " the first night, hen as a "box of crayons" and chicks as 7 individual coloured crayons!
All the staff were lovely, friendly, polite and Sarah was our waitress who also did an amazing job!

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 .

Lovely room and welcome. We got here 3 hours early but we got us into our room 15 mins after we arrived and the gent on the desk offered great advice and was very helpful.

From the girls on the breakfast shift to the receptionists and bar servers, all the staff greeted us with a friendly, helpful demeanour. Even the small gesture of fetching plant milk from the nearby store for breakfast when asked about was very thoughtful. The decor of the hotel was very impressive and immaculate, especially the bar area.
