We will definely be back!read 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 lessDavid M 11/05/2022Excellent Excellent had a wonderful time room was fantastic had breakfast, dinner and drinks in the hotel as well and was brilliant couldn't praise the staff enough highly recommended and cant wait to return in the futureread moreread lesskateoS57JU 3/20/2022A nice stay but overpriced The room was clean and comfortable , although smaller then I had expected for the price payed , there was no lock on the bathroom door which was a disappointment .

The breakfast was very good good choice of food, the staff in the room where they served breakfast were very good, polite & helpful . one of the best things about this hotel is its location, it's close to the shops & the station is just around the corner, their is a good fish & chip shop in the town called MCDonagh's which is good value.read moreread less - John Daly 4/04/2019Excellent Hotel and would highly recommend.read moreread lessrcasey436898 2/02/2023Great hotel in prime Galway position Great hotel ideally situated for visiting this vibrant city with friendly and helpful staff, my only point preventing a five star rating is the somewhat unimaginative ‘continental’ breakfast, the bar meals were very good.read moreread lessOrlaghMarie 2/27/2022Great central location beside public transport Impressed with customer service from the outset as they had kindly allowed me transfer a booking following a cancellation during peak covid.

A great option with competitive prices for a central Galway stay, particularly if using nearby bus or rail station.read moreread less
- Shirley S 4/09/2022Great place, stayed for daughters hen party 8 of us staying here for my daughters hen party. We ate in The Queens Street restaurant within The Victoria Hotel on the first night and was very pleased with the cocktails and food, delicious food, generous helpings, well presented.
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!
The hotel is amazing, they have done a grand job of renovations, it's clean, spacious and very close to everywhere.

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 less - Sightseer49206 11/23/2022Would highly recommend So I booked a two night stay for two of us to do Xmas shopping. Great deal which included breakfast. 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 lessNonomarley 3/28/2022Fabulous hotel 🏨 My self and my husband stayed 4 days in this hotel from the minute we stepped in they were so nice the staff and the hotel restaurant and bar is fabulous and has a art deco feel the beds are so comfy and the Breakfast was so delicious and to top it off the Guinness was delicious too can't wait to go back happy😊read moreread lessJohn McCabe 8/02/2021Friendly, staff , great locationHelpful staff , welcome staff.read moreread less
