The family room was big and comfortable & bathroom modern. Kids really enjoyed the staying. We would recommend it.read moreread lessjillianb587 10/17/2021Incredible Hotel in Galway City Just home from the most amazing weekend in Galway for my best friends Hen Party. As bridesmaid, the staff were most helpful in helping me organise the hen from bookings, to best value offers, complementary room upgrade, to suggestions for after dinner. Their communication with me was so prompt and helpful.
From the minute we stepped inside the door of this beautiful trendy hotel we felt most welcome and the staff couldn't do enough for us. I cannot praise highly enough the staff of the hotel, especially David, Kat, Kristen, Lisa, Matthew and their talented head chef for surpassing our high expectations and giving us the best stay ever.
Kat on reception checked us in promptly , we got complementary car parking in Q Park and proceeded to our quiet, spacious, comfortable room. The decor of the room was cool and modern and pristine clean.
David met the bride to be and I and showed us to where our party was going to be. The newly renovated bar/ restaurant was just beautiful, decorated in art deco style. He ensured from start to finish that all our requirements were met and really couldn't do enough for us.
Kristen decorated and set up our party space with the decorations/ goody bags etc I had brought and did an amazing job!! This was a huge help to me as I got to spend the afternoon with the bride to be instead of tackling decorating!
Our 3 course meal was unreal and I cannot praise the head chef highly enough for his high standard of food and presentation. Everything was delicious. The menu was so varied, plenty choice and the food was divine, presented beautifully and enjoyed by all 29 of the hen party. 100% to this amazing chef and his team. What was most noted and hughly appreciated was that we had a 2 - 2 and a quarter hour time frame in which to have dinner before a pub reservation in town. David and the head chef and waiting staff had our orders taken, and each course was adequately spread out within our time frame ensuring we weren't under pressure or left rushing to our next stop.
Our tables were waited on with such attention and we were never short of wine or drinks. Their cocktails are amazing also.
The party space we were in was perfect for our Hen Party, the interiors were just fab. An elegant, sophisticated space for an event.
This gem of a hotel is without a doubt a wonderful place to stay and dine in and is so centrally located in Galway city. I will most definitely return again to the Victoria Hotel and let it be my go to place to stay in Galway for a city break.read moreread less - Ann Stephens 4/04/2020Nice hotel very centralread moreread lessirishmarie107 12/04/2021Another Break at the Victoria Hotel My husband and I have been visiting Galway, twice yearly, for several years now. 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. If it's a city break, with plenty of live music and good food nearby, the Victoria Hotel in Galway, with lovely new lounge bar, is the place to stay. We'll be back!read moreread less971mischas 8/10/2021The Best Night Porter Ever We only stayed at the Victoria for the one night but lord was it grand! The night porter, Christian (Kristian?) was supremely helpful and turned a potentially sticky situation into one of the best hotel experiences of my life. Highest recommendation if you find yourself needing a place to sleep after a night out in Eyre Square or anywhere else in Galway, for that matter. We will be back!!read moreread less

- Emma P 4/04/2020Great location for city center, close to bus and train station. Rooms warm and comfortable. Parking near by in the multistory, guests get a reduced overnight rate.

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 lessAideen B 10/06/2020Great value and good location Myself and 2 friends stayed here for the weekend recently.
