- Z5200STjessicam 11/06/2021Birthday Hotel is absolutely beautiful,very central
,great friendly staff who were so helpful,Ashling in particular our lounge girl really looked after usrooms are very modern and comfortable food is fab definitely stay again and would reccomend to family and friends.read moreread lessJoe 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 lessthealmostveggie 9/05/2020Great location, close to everything! My partner and I booked in for three nights as I had a hotels voucher from work, we found the Victoria lovely! Basically in Eyre Square, so close to everything. TV had many channels for when the weather wasn't great, the room had tea, coffee and kettle, the bed was comfortable and the staff were very polite! Other than construction noise (which was beyond their control really,) I can't say anything negative about my stay.read moreread less - hmmartin2022 12/07/2022Definitely recommend Lovely experience.

The breakfast and dinner we had at the hotel were lovely and the staff went above and beyond - special shout out to Dearbhla in the restaurant who was super helpful
TIP: hotel is located near a busy thoroughfare from Eyre Square so ask for a quiet room if available.

Lovely extensive breakfast with so much food and choice, we left stuffed so we weren't hungry all day. Dinner the evening before was pretty tasty. Victoria is a city hotel stuck down in a tight spot but very close to Eyre Square, and all the centre of activities in the city, and its staff and workers are all very welcoming and helpful. The bedroom wasn't huge but the beds were comfortable, having a bath and a shower in the spacious bathroom was wonderful, loads of hot water and all you could need. The decor is tasteful, everything worked. The window was pretty dirty but as it's mid-winter and it was dark when we got in, following a hospital appointment, we pulled the very heavy curtains and slept very well. Great location for doing Galway City on foot and leaving the car behind, as Galway city is NOT recommended for a visitor to bring a car into. Thank you Victoria Hotel, we enjoyed your hospitality.read moreread lessCiaranK71 11/10/2020Exceptional Arrived to a great welcome by Aishling. She was very attentive and explained everything from WIFI to breakfast. We felt very safe with the covid19 restrictions they had in place. The room was clean, neat and tidy.

The rooms are also pretty small, definitely on the more compact sideread moreread lessabigailhirn 9/09/2022Excellent location and updated/clean bathrooms in the rooms The location was perfect, staff was very friendly, and breakfast was great. The bathrooms in the rooms were completely updated which in my opinion is the most important thing about a hotel room itself.

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 lessPipermans 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 lessAustin Campbell 4/04/2018Verry kind staff, beautiful rooms. Would definitely stay again, my fiance loved it as well.
