L'accueil est un peu froid, mais les chambres sont grandes, insonorisées (sauf au niveau de la porte !), et bien équipées.Des travaux de rénovation sont en cours.Le petit déjeuner est varié et copieux.

Victoria Hotel Galway Ate and drank at Queen Street at the Victoria Hotel in Galway. Absolutely magnificent service and some of the most delicious food I’ve had in a long time. Also had some great live music which was a nice bonus! Will be back soon!!!

Winter Warmer Package My boyfriend and I recently stayed in the hotel for one night and enjoyed the Winter Warmer package.
The room was very nice, as was the bathroom in the room.
We dined in Queen Street and were disappointed on arrival to see the menu was different and smaller than the one shown on the website. The food overall was nice but nothing special. Our starters were both very nice (Caesar salad and goats cheese) however our mains were not as good (burger which was dry and fish and chips). The service in Queen Street however was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and attentive.
When leaving the bar that night we enquired what time breakfast was served until the next morning and we were told 10:30, but when we arrived for breakfast at 10:10 the following morning we were told breakfast had stopped being served which was again, disappointing as we had breakfast included in our stay. The girl who was in the restaurant cleaning up told us we could take any of the continental breakfast that had not been put away yet back up to our room with us which we did.
Despite these few things, we still had a lovely stay and would return sometime in the future.

Amazing visit to Galway I stayed at the Victoria Hotel with my boyfriend recently for 2 nights. We had an amazing time and our stay was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have chosen a better Hotel and location for our visit in Galway. We stayed here for my Birthday on the bank holiday Monday, and the team welcomed us with a bottle of Prosecco and birthday card in our room. I love the design of the Hotel, I will definitely stay again for my next visit to Galway.

Galway - Always My Pleasure Nice hotel, right in the center of Galway, in Art Deco style. We booked breakfast included. After a week's stay we can really recommend any type of breakfast, whether it's a full Irish breakfast or the mini Irish breakfast, even the vegetarian and vegan options are delicious. But you are not tied to the menu, personal preferences are just as well fulfilled. The room, facilities and cleanliness were as expected. And the staff is really nice and accommodating.

The Best Night Porter Ever We only stayed at the Victoria for the one night but lord was it grand! The night porter, Christian (Kristian?) was supremely helpful and turned a potentially sticky situation into one of the best hotel experiences of my life. Highest recommendation if you find yourself needing a place to sleep after a night out in Eyre Square or anywhere else in Galway, for that matter. We will be back!!

Another Break at the Victoria Hotel My husband and I have been visiting Galway, twice yearly, for several years now. We always stay at the Victoria Hotel. The Reception and Bar staff are really welcoming and the room service is fantastic. Location is great, 5 minutes walk to bus/rail station, right beside Eyre square. If it's a city break, with plenty of live music and good food nearby, the Victoria Hotel in Galway, with lovely new lounge bar, is the place to stay. We'll be back!

Beautiful. We had the lovely room with the glass case window. Bed was extremely comfortable. Room was very clean and the tub was fantastic! Staff was friendly and courteous. Far enough from the noise of the city center but close enough to walk anywhere easily. I hope I find myself in Galway again and staying at this hotel.

Staff at dinner and breakfast couldn’t do more for you. Bed was comfortable and had a good night sleep. Great location. Minutes walk from the train station and city centre

Excellent location and recently refurbished I had read mixed reviews about Victoria Hotel so wasn’t sure about my hotel choice. 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...

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. More

Salute to CAORA AND MICHAEL. Every Hotel depends on Systems for best performance. But it is the Individuals within the systems that ultimately decide the fate of any enterprise. Ask the owners of the Titanic for example!
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. They cannot be replaced , if they are lost.

Highly recommended 👌 Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was nice, and clean. Food was lovely. Very convenient location. My only issue was being awoken by a truck outside at around 6.00am. The noise continued for some time. Internal glazing would help to keep noise out.

weekend away staff at this hotel are excellent, friendly and professional. 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

A very nice small hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and very clean. We only had breakfast on the mornings we were there and we found them delicious and were served piping hot. The staff were courteous and even though renovations were being carried they made sure the guests suffered no discomfort.The workmen carrying out the renovations were to be commended for other than seeing them you didn't know they there

Incredible Hotel in Galway City Just home from the most amazing weekend in Galway for my best friends Hen Party. As bridesmaid, the staff were most helpful in helping me organise the hen from bookings, to best value offers, complementary room upgrade, to suggestions for after dinner. Their communication with me was so prompt and helpful.
From the minute we stepped inside the door of this beautiful trendy hotel we felt most welcome and the staff couldn't do enough for us. I cannot praise highly enough the staff of the hotel, especially David, Kat, Kristen, Lisa, Matthew and their talented head chef for surpassing our high expectations and giving us the best stay ever.
Kat on reception checked us in promptly , we got complementary car parking in Q Park and proceeded to our quiet, spacious, comfortable room. The decor of the room was cool and modern and pristine clean.
David met the bride to be and I and showed us to where our party was going to be. The newly renovated bar/ restaurant was just beautiful, decorated in art deco style. He ensured from start to finish that all our requirements were met and really couldn't do enough for us.
Kristen decorated and set up our party space with the decorations/ goody bags etc I had brought and did an amazing job!! This was a huge help to me as I got to spend the afternoon with the bride to be instead of tackling decorating!
Our 3 course meal was unreal and I cannot praise the head chef highly enough for his high standard of food and presentation. Everything was delicious. The menu was so varied, plenty choice and the food was divine, presented beautifully and enjoyed by all 29 of the hen party. 100% to this amazing chef and his team. What was most noted and hughly appreciated was that we had a 2 - 2 and a quarter hour time frame in which to have dinner before a pub reservation in town. David and the head chef and waiting staff had our orders taken, and each course was adequately spread out within our time frame ensuring we weren't under pressure or left rushing to our next stop.
Our tables were waited on with such attention and we were never short of wine or drinks. Their cocktails are amazing also.
The party space we were in was perfect for our Hen Party, the interiors were just fab. An elegant, sophisticated space for an event.
This gem of a hotel is without a doubt a wonderful place to stay and dine in and is so centrally located in Galway city. I will most definitely return again to the Victoria Hotel and let it be my go to place to stay in Galway for a city break.

Excellent 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. I loved that we had double vanities so my husband and I could both get ready at the same time. Excellent spot and would stay here again if we come back to Galway. More

Galway Adventure We stayed at the Victoria Hotel and it was fabulous. The checkin was so easy and staff was so friendly. We stayed in a family room and it was so spacious and clean. Beds were so comfortable and bathroom was lovely.
Had dinner in the Queen Street restaurant in the hotel and the drinks were so unique and the food was incredible. The baked goat cheese salad was the best we ever had. Thanks for the amazing stay!! We will be back.
