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. Our room was clean and fresh, the only factor letting us down being the broken window and the sound of traffic at night because of that. Otherwise, the staff of the Victoria made our weekend away to Galway feel glamorous and special.read moreread lessNov71 9/17/2021Galway staycation Stayed at the Victoria for 4 nights with my wife. Every member of staff we encountered could not have been more polite or helpful. From the reception to dining room. The breakfast service and food was also excellent. So much choice. We had dinner in the bar one evening and again the food was great. Really impressed and we would definitely stay again if in Galway. Moreread moreread less
- 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 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.

So close to the Christmas Markets, which is why we visited Galway.read moreread less0616MartyB 12/11/2021Great location Great location in Galway City - right in the heart of everything. Car parking not the best solution but is workable. Rooms are clean, beds comfortable, staff friendly and helpful. Rooms are pricy for what you get however the trade off is its location. I would stay here again.read moreread lessGeraldine Murphy 4/04/2020Very nice hotel, bedrooms immaculately clean. Undergoing renovation at present so no evening dinner being served. Very good breakfastread moreread less
- Pipermans 4/20/2022OK hotel with a great location. OK, this was a nice enough hotel with an excellent location.
The only strange thing that i'd never experienced before was at the breakfast.
When we asked for coffee - we both drink coffee, 99% of the time we would get a pot of coffee brought to the table. Here at this hotel, we were given a cup of boiling water each, with 2 sachets of instant dried coffee. This is the little coffee packet you would find next to your kettle in the room.
To get a proper cup, we were told we needed to pay 3 euro per cup. I've never experienced this before, otherwise its a nice hotel.read moreread lessAtomicHD 4/04/2019Supurb staff rooms comfy standard and quite concudering its busy in galway..staff very helpfull if u dont know the area they will ask your interests n make suggestingsread moreread lesspatnewro2022 10/21/2022Galway- the hotel close to everything The staff was so hospitable and kind- they allowed an extremely early check-in after our long flight from Boston.

We loved the heated outdoor porch - great for coffee, and for waiting for cabs.read moreread less - Colbey Hair 4/04/2017This hotel is just a little ways off of Eyre square, in a great location for walking to a bunch of restaurants as well as being close enough to the shopping district.The hotel staff is friendly and the hotel itself it very old and charming.

Excited for breakfast in the morning.read moreread lessMark Haller 4/04/2019It is currently under renovation so the entrance looks messy and items are stored in the side of the foyer. The staff are friendly and the room was a renovated one to a high standard and very comfortable and spotlessly clean.The breakfast is substantial but not clear if it is included in the price so will update after checkout.The restaurant was not open to guests the one night we considered eating in so cannot comment.Parking is in a nearby separately managed facility. It is fairly cheap at 8euro per day.The scrambled eggs are an atrocity so avoid.read moreread less

Can’t wait to go backread moreread lessMary H 7/11/2022You let us down badly The hotel needs some serious updating. I requested gluten free breakfast for my husband and despite sending me messages that “we have great gluten free options for you” we were told they had no gluten free bread to make toast!! Such a simple and basic thing to provide. When we checked in the receptionist told us they had taken note that 1 guest needed a gluten free breakfast so why did the fail to provide? The room was very small and the lift had me saying prayers when we used it as it very clunky. Obviously would not recommend.read moreread lessMary Keane 4/04/2019Just had lovley weekend in Galway stayed Victoria hotel, staff very friendly, rooms cleaned every day , enjoyed breakfastread moreread less
