The professionalism and courtesy of the two ladies at the main hotel reception was to set the tone to follow. The cleanliness and layout if the entire foyer and restaurant and bar area was the highest standard. In particular, I was impressed by the Art Deco design of the bar area which I understand had been redesigned recently. A 1920s feel created a unique ambience. Wall designs of tropical plants and verdant growth is a cozy and interesting design feature which we discussed at length. As for the lunch itself, I was very impressed with the Cod and I had a side of Sautéed Onions. As onions are my favourite food, I was eager to taste this and I was not disappointed. They were softly done and not over cooked. My friend had the Gnocchi which was equally excellent. The manager was very professional and helpful and every place should be run like this! read less - Q1130VDshanem 9/30/2021 Galway Staycation 💚 Overall, I had a great experience with the Victoria Hotel Galway.

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.

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.

The reception gent was excellent - helpful , efficient and experienced . He helped us with our bags , gave directions to the free parking around the corner and answered our questions . The room was excellent and a great location for Eyre square and the City .The breakfast was good quality , efficient and tasty .We stayed here to catch the shuttle bus to Rossaveal ferry terminal to go across to the Aran islands - and it was perfect for that purpose . The pick up point is 10m up the road from the front doors ! We would have left our car in Q park for the four extra days we were away , to make use of the really good discounted rate available after the one night complimentary parking - but that rate is only accessible for 3 days , so we parked elsewhere.( I might have missed that info on the website , but If it isn’t there , it might be useful to add .) overall a great stay .

So much so that we ate in the second night too, but still no room left to try the chocolate brownie !Breakfast, great choice also.
Staff very pleasant especially the lovely Dervla who even captured on camera us in our "costumes " the first night, hen as a "box of crayons" and chicks as 7 individual coloured crayons!
All the staff were lovely, friendly, polite and Sarah was our waitress who also did an amazing job!

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.

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 less - emma_1418 12/13/2021 Fantastic hotel & location Had a fabulous stay with friends recently.

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 lessIt is currently under renovation so the entrance looks messy and items... read moreIt is currently under renovation so the entrance looks messy and items are stored in the side of the foyer.

Less to many restaurants in the area.
It was however located on a very busy street - our rooms 106 and 103 were facing the road and extremely noisy - we were moved to an inside room 210 and it was much better so keep that in mind.
The staff onsite were all very pleasant and the morning breakfast was good. There were some continental items and then hot items made to order.
The room was an adequate size. Bathroom had nice fixtures. However the room had no drawer space - not sure why.
