- Michael Allen 4/04/2020This hotel is undergoing a much-needed renovation. Our room has a nice shower and sink, a comfortable bed and two chairs. Had tv with numerous English and Gaelic channels. No air conditioning but windows opened to cool night air, just a little noisy at times. Overall a good value. Restaurant is in the hotel although we chose other places in town and we're pleased.read moreread lessDarren N 9/29/2020Fantastic Location Stayed for 3 nights with my girlfriend and couldn’t believe how central we were to all of the attractions in Galway City! The staff were all really helpful & friendly and gave us directions to everything we wanted to see. Their new breakfast menu is also a must! Lots of choice and delicious. Will be back!read moreread lessSteven Russell 4/04/2018Good location, huge rooms!read moreread less
- MEBDM 3/06/2022Fantastic food and service - highly recommended So impressed with the new Queen Street bar in the Hotel, the food was fantastic but the highlight of the weekend was the staff! I have never met a crew where every single person was a joy to deal with and the service was very attentive, second to none with a wide smile! Shout out for Patrick, Spanish Sarah and all the bar staff on this weekend who made out stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Very impressed and looking forward to visiting again soon hopefully.read moreread lessEmily Tongiani 4/04/2020Ottimo hotel e ottimo personale 💕read moreread lessnmayrand12 12/27/2022Excellent location and the employees and the rooms were incredible.

- 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.

It was absolutely excellent from Start to finish. Everywhere we met the hotel staff from initial reception to the housekeeping and restaurant/bar staff, they went over and above in terms of helpfulness, and friendliness and genuine care and attention. I cannot think of more outstanding staff across the board in all the hotels I have been in in Ireland and there has been many through work. The location obviously could not have been better. It was excellent value. We had a salad, Pizzas and cocktails, all of which were excellent. We look forward to visiting again and thank you for making our stay so special.read moreread less - E8151BCjamesl 8/08/2021Excellent location and recently refurbished I had read mixed reviews about Victoria Hotel so wasn’t sure about my hotel choice. 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. Not only could they offer a better rate, they added breakfast and free parking (our parking bill was €37 for the weekend) so we got a great deal by booking direct. Parking is in Hynes yard about 200m down the road.
Overall I’d definitely recommend Victoria Hotel and I will definitely be returning when we’re in the city again.read moreread lessEsther Lo 4/04/2018Convenient location n nice serviceread moreread lessN1976MImariam 12/20/2022A fantastic experience An amazing stay.everythiing was fantastic from beginning to end.Staff were so friendly and accomadating to our needs.Nothing was too much for them.Great location,great price and fantastic food overall really enjoyed our mini ❤️We will be back for sureread moreread less - paulbD9665BF 11/15/2021Leisure Loving the Cocktails, staff are excellent especially Matthew at reception.

- Family_Traveler2_IN 10/23/2021Great Value and Location A very comfortable hotel in a great location, right around the corner from Eyre Square. Easy access to downtown pubs and restaurants.
In addition, hotel offers a great breakfast that was included with our booking. You get the choice of one hot AND one cold breakfast meal option from the menu. You won’t go away hungry.
They also validated parking so that we were able to park our car for free at the QPark just a block away.
Staff at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. They provided us with suggestions for places to go. Also, gladly printed out our covid test results that we needed for airport check-in.
