We were served by Sara the beautiful Spanish girl who was so attentive. I have to say we tried almost every cocktail between us and everyone was more delicious then the last. We had finger food which again was delicious the wings were to die for. On all an amazing experience the nicest staff I have come across in a long long time a credit to this chic establishment. Thanks for a great nite we will be back and we will be telling everyone about our nite in Queen Street. read less

The family rooms are very spacious and reasonably priced. Restaurant not really in operation and neither is bar and the ‘free drink’ promised on the website wasn’t ever mentioned while here. Nevertheless I’ll be back, because the location is great and the staff are nice - and its keenly priced. read less

Although the sat nav sent us to the Clayton we eventually found it . Parking is strange in the local shopping centre but very accessible and acceptable. Have to say the staff were brilliant with a big shout out to Derbhla O’Connor. We were on the 4 course meal and B&b package modestly priced at 157euro. All in all I rate our stay very good and I would have no trouble in recommending the ‘Victoria’ to any of my friends. read less

Our room has a nice shower and sink, a comfortable bed and two chairs. Had tv with numerous English and Gaelic channels.

We had a brilliant deal for those over 55 staying for 2 nights with 2 breakfasts and 2 full, delicious dinners. Our waitress, Dearbhla, became our guide and best pal. She found out we had come from Kilkee and brought out the lovely cook, Celine, to meet us because she hailed from there. Dearblha went out of her way to get to know us and made a list of all the shops and places to get the things we were after. Celine's cuisine was delicious and beautifully arranged. The girl at the front desk, whose name I didn't get, was also very accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was wonderful. I will recommend it to all I know who visit Galway in the future and will return myself. Our room was very clean and comfortable. I only wish I had taken a a picture of Dearbhla and Celine. Cheers!
