We had breakfast at the hotel on one of the night and it was very nice and everything was fresh.

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 lessEoin Conroy 8/02/2021Me and my partner stayed for two nights and we where blown away at how we where treated staff are extremely friendly and accomadating and for the bar a huge thanks to chef Ben for the most delicious food I've had in along time it was amazing and to the staff who where overly accomadating and not once hadn't a smileread moreread lessNonomarley 3/28/2022Fabulous hotel 🏨 My self and my husband stayed 4 days in this hotel from the minute we stepped in they were so nice the staff and the hotel restaurant and bar is fabulous and has a art deco feel the beds are so comfy and the Breakfast was so delicious and to top it off the Guinness was delicious too can't wait to go back happy😊read moreread less - karenJohnson677 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.

- aur_liedX1553KX 8/07/2022Nice pied à terre in Galway. Lovely welcome, nice decorations too.
The literie is quite good, the rooms are a bit small but that's okay.
The breakfast was good and the reception answered all of our questions about the town and what there was to do.
A plus for a free parking ticket. Moreread moreread lessgerardwayne 3/04/2022Weekend Galway Getaway Since this hotel has been done up we've been back twice, having stayed here a few years ago when it could have done with a bit of TLC. The location is perfect for exploring Galway. Just off Eyre Square, everything is within walking distance. Food in bar restaurant was great. Service was absolutely brilliant. Could ask for nothing better. A lovely birthday weekend away courtesy of the wife. 😊😊😊read 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 less - Mike L 4/15/2023Fantastic hotel with a very friendly staff! Amiee and the team were extremely accommodating throughout our stay! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice cozy room, fantastic restaurants/drink, and a homey feeling.

The family rooms are very spacious and reasonably priced. Restaurant not really in operation and neither is bar and the ‘free drink’ promised on the website wasn’t ever mentioned while here. Nevertheless I’ll be back, because the location is great and the staff are nice - and its keenly priced.read moreread less

We always stay at the Victoria Hotel. The Reception and Bar staff are really welcoming and the room service is fantastic. Location is great, 5 minutes walk to bus/rail station, right beside Eyre square.

We'll be back!read moreread less967maryannr 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!

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.

Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly receptionist. We had a brought a bottle of prosecco with us to have as a celebration in our room. The receiptionist directed us to the warm and friendly front of house staff (Dearbhla), who kindly opened the bottle for us and provided us with an ice bucket to chill. We ate in the restaurant that evening and the food was incredible!! We both got the sea bass which was superb, along with the creamy sauce and chorizo. The hotel rooms were very clean and if we required anything else (such as an iron/ironing board), we were seen to immediately. Throughout the evening and during our stay the staff were very attentive and friendly.
