The staff within the hotel are friendly and the rooms were clean and beds comfy. Food from the bar was amazing as wore the coctails, they lost a star cause of the bill system and kept getting orders mixed up and tried to charge for drinks we didn't order, this may be a staff communication issue but it was the only downfall.read moreread lesslmsichel 12/29/2022Winter visit Great location 1 block from main square but very quiet.

Would have been nice to have in room refrigerators and better access to ice. While not the fault of the hotel, a nearby business's alarms were beeping constantly throughout our stay and was extremely annoying. However, the hotel accommodated for this by providing a fan which provided some white noise so it wasn't bad sleeping. Moreread moreread lessitsmish 3/15/2022Great Hotel, Friendly Staff The hotel is in a great location, close to 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.

Everywhere we met the hotel staff from initial reception to the housekeeping and restaurant/bar staff, they went over and above in terms of helpfulness, and friendliness and genuine care and attention. I cannot think of more outstanding staff across the board in all the hotels I have been in in Ireland and there has been many through work. The location obviously could not have been better. It was excellent value. We had a salad, Pizzas and cocktails, all of which were excellent. We look forward to visiting again and thank you for making our stay so special.read moreread less
- JeansTrips 5/23/2022Great service, good food I visited Queen Street, the restaurant in the Victoria Hotel, with friends recently and overall, was impressed. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the portion sizes were large. The prices were fair and the food was very nice, but perhaps not as “fancy” as I was expecting. Overall though, I would recommend visiting here when in Galway.read moreread lessdermot_gannon 6/26/2021Excellent Hotel This was our 3rd time staying in the Victoria Hotel in Galway.

- Joe 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 lessNov71 9/17/2021Galway staycation Stayed at the Victoria for 4 nights with my wife.

Myself and my friend recently stayed for two nights at the Victoria Hotel - Galway. 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.
