- kenta_tai 5/24/2021Decent hotel, renovations were mildly annoying Very nice hotel, but was in renovation and there was no dinner service, which I understand but should have been mentioned when I booked, along with that there might be some noise. Still, overall, it was good. Room was clean and everything was as should be.read moreread lessMike L 4/15/2023Fantastic hotel with a very friendly staff!

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.

Staff went absolutely out of there way to make sure we were looked after. Hats off to chef Ben his menu is incredible honestly the best food we have ever eaten. We had dinner the first night and decided to cancel a booking we had for the second night just so we could try more of Bens dishes. We can’t wait to return in august. Also hats off to manager David for running such a great team. It’s Not very often you see that anymore. Even the security doorman was so friendly ensuring we got a nice table out the front when it became available. Thanks again guys. See you soon.
- Eva Tobin Moreread moreread lessDean C 6/10/2021Wonderful welcome Everything is great. 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. We waited in the bar and got drinks and eggs Florentine for breakfast. That was the only downside. The portion was tiny but in fairness tasted great. Not good value for money. All in all the staff are great and specially our server in the restaurant. I know it's rough times for everyone in hospitality at the moment having just reopened but you're doing a great job. Hats off.
Dean & Andrearead moreread lessMairead O 11/25/2021Enjoyable stay My husband and I visited the Victoria Hotel in mid November. I booked a double room with breakfast included. The room was on the smaller side than some hotel rooms I have stayed in but none the less it ticked all the boxes. It was clean and comfortable and more importantly the bed was comfortable. We had no complaints about noise from the street or internally either. The breakfast was lovely and cooked freshly upon ordering. The hotel bar is so nice and a must visit. The decor is fabulous and so is the food and the staff are very friendly too. The location is excellent with it being just off Eyre Square, which makes it easily accessible to get to the Christmas Market and onto Shop street. We were both very impressed with the hotels refurbishment and would highly recommend it to friends and family. As with most hotels in Galway there is no onsite parking, however, there are some carparks nearby within walking distance of the hotel where you can safely park for the duration of your stay. As you are staying with the hotel it will be worth enquiring with them for a discount at the car park upon booking.read moreread less - Gearóid O'maoltuille 4/04/2019Great place to stay,central to most of the city of Galway.Excellent staff& food.read moreread lessClods8 9/30/2021Amazing hotel 5***** What a fantastic hotel.

- 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 lessRachelhawkins 3/25/2022Perfect Really good location just off eyre square. The staff were super friendly. Bar was gorgeous.

Restaurant has been upgraded decor wise, it is very trendy and modern. Cocktails are really good and there is a great selection of drinks.

Overcooked meat, chips cooked in very dirty oil and also the staff seemed to have no idea about the menu.read moreread lesstheHellsbells 2/26/2022Comfortable Hotel Good location, comfortable bed, good bathroom, clean, modern.

Moreread moreread less - Antonio Sanchez 4/04/2017Céntrico y acogedorread moreread lesslisagD9341ZQ 9/22/2022Impressive upscale hotel, stellar gastro pub I've traveled Europe and the UK quite a lot and stayed in many hotels. Because I always give feedback on social media and in travel groups, I don't hesitate to be completely honest. Bad reviews travel fast; smart hotels don't forget that.
I've never recommended a hotel more highly than The Victoria. It's pricey but you're paying for a posh hotel in a prime location. For the time I booked, it was the best price for all hotels available near the city centre. At the moment, travel is eye-wateringly expensive pretty much everywhere. It's literally the price of traveling. I book near sites I want to see to avoid the price and hassle of transport. You get what you pay for.
This hotel radiates class. It positively gleams. Located around the corner from the train station and on Eyre Square, it couldn't be more convenient. Beds are comfy, housekeeping does a fantastic job, and there are loads of amenities.
The Victoria has a gastro pub so gobsmackingly good I recommend it to anyone not staying in the hotel, as well. The service and food are stellar.
I have nothing bad to say about The Victoria. Believe me, if I had anything negative I'd do so very loudly! But when you find a great place you want people to know about it. And this is a great place - chef's kiss.
