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.

In this regard the Victoria Hotel on Queen Street Galway is blessed with the two most outstanding Receptionists I have ever encountered in my Hotel experiences from. A to Z worldwide. CAORA is a model of Patience, Friendship, and general Nice Person aura, while Patrick has the same qualities along with Stand Up Comedy !
I could not fault the hotel in any way on my first visit . I hope these two very fine and invaluable people are appreciated by Management.

Free parking in a nearby multi storey which is a major bonus! Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Room is standard, clean and modern. Restaurant has been upgraded decor wise, it is very trendy and modern. Cocktails are really good and there is a great selection of drinks. My only negative of the hotel is the food in the restaurant, there wasn't one meal out of the 2 days that any of us enjoyed. Overcooked meat, chips cooked in very dirty oil and also the staff seemed to have no idea about the menu. read less

I love how close the hotel is to everything and yet, being at the end of a street by a church meant it was quiet for us at night when sleeping. This hotel has breakfast included which entails continental options as well as ordering off the menu. We were delighted to find a hot vegan meal on the menu and had that each day along with some fruit from the continental breakfast. read less

Winter get away My husband and I are just home from 3 very enjoyable nights... read moreMy husband and I are just home from 3 very enjoyable nights at The Victoria Hotel. From the friendly welcome at check in where the very pleasant receptionist (from Derry) assisted us to move rooms to suit my preferences, the friendly and helpful breakfast server (from Laois) Dearbhla in the restaurant and the lovely Lisa who checked us, the staff are fabulous without fault. The bedrooms are clean and comfy with tea/coffee facilities, safe, hairdryer, toiletries and a television.
We had bed and breakfast with evening meal and everything we ate was delicious and well presented.
Parking was not on site but a few minutes walk to a multi storey car park and free parking with the card from the car park.
Location is perfect with a few minutes walk to the Main Street and within walking distance to most tourist sites.
Definitely well worth a stay and we are now looking forward to an excuse to return. read less
