Even the small gesture of fetching plant milk from the nearby store for breakfast when asked about was very thoughtful. The decor of the hotel was very impressive and immaculate, especially the bar area. Our room was clean and fresh, the only factor letting us down being the broken window and the sound of traffic at night because of that. Otherwise, the staff of the Victoria made our weekend away to Galway feel glamorous and special. read less

The staff are friendly and the room was a renovated one to a high standard and very comfortable and spotlessly clean.The breakfast is substantial but not clear if it is included in the price so will update after checkout.The restaurant was not open to guests the one night we considered eating in so cannot comment.Parking is in a nearby separately managed facility.

Saoirse very friendly, helpful and managed the breakfast time very well. Night staff in bar also excellent and friendly. Staff at this hotel are a real bonus. Decor in bar/restaurant is lovely with kind of boho retro vibe. Hotel rooms are quite small. bed linen, duvet and pillows are a dream. bathroom a bit of a let down - no bath, fixture hanging off wall and I wouldn't be a fan of the opaque door that you couldn't actually close and didn't afford any privacy. Tea tray needs a bit of attention- very poor selection of tea/coffee etc, no biscuits and those awful jiggers of UHT milk. . it was a lovely touch to have prosecco and little chocs in the room - a lovely welcome. Hotel lovely and quiet read less
