The poor reviews and photos seem to have been from before the renovations so if you’re looking at traveller photos, look at the date as only the newer photos really apply. The staff in the hotel are really friendly and we had no issues at all during our stay. Our room was spotless and the only thing I’d change is the chance to cool it down with air conditioning as it was a little hot at night even with the window open. The hotel is perfectly located just off Eyre Square. It’s not noisy at night considering how close it is to the square. We dined 1 of the evenings in the bar and the food was fantastic. It was a nice atmosphere in the bar with all staff adhering to Covid guidelines etc. It was table service only for drinks but the staff were very efficient and we didn’t go without once Breakfast was a very nice on both mornings. Had to book a time slot but had no issue getting a time we wanted Just a tip. We priced our stay on Booking .com and phoned up the Victoria to see could they match it. Not only could they offer a better rate, they added breakfast and free parking (our parking bill was €37 for the weekend) so we got a great deal...

Just a tip. We priced our stay on Booking .com and phoned up the Victoria to see could they match it. Not only could they offer a better rate, they added breakfast and free parking (our parking bill was €37 for the weekend) so we got a great deal by booking direct. Parking is in Hynes yard about 200m down the road.

Overall I’d definitely recommend Victoria Hotel and I will definitely be returning when we’re in the city again. More read less

The night porter, Christian (Kristian?) was supremely helpful and turned a potentially sticky situation into one of the best hotel experiences of my life. Highest recommendation if you find yourself needing a place to sleep after a night out in Eyre Square or anywhere else in Galway, for that matter. We will be back!! read less

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.

Would recommend to anyone, if I'm ever in Galway again I would have no hesitations booking back into The Victoria read less

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 less

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.
