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 lessVery good place to stay excellent

In addition, hotel offers a great breakfast that was included with our booking. You get the choice of one hot AND one cold breakfast meal option from the menu. You won’t go away hungry.
They also validated parking so that we were able to park our car for free at the QPark just a block away.
Staff at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. They provided us with suggestions for places to go. Also, gladly printed out our covid test results that we needed for airport check-in.
Definitely would stay here again. read lessFantastic food and service - highly recommended So impressed with the new Queen Street bar in the Hotel, the... read moreSo impressed with the new Queen Street bar in the Hotel, the food was fantastic but the highlight of the weekend was the staff!

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 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. read lessLovely hotel. Really well placed and very friendly staff.

I requested gluten free breakfast for my husband and despite sending me messages that “we have great gluten free options for you” we were told they had no gluten free bread to make toast!! Such a simple and basic thing to provide. When we checked in the receptionist told us they had taken note that 1 guest needed a gluten free breakfast so why did the fail to provide? The room was very small and the lift had me saying prayers when we used it as it very clunky. Obviously would not recommend. read less
