I booked the Victoria for two nights at the beginning of May. I ended up staying a third, as I was quite content there. My room was clean and comfy and it was great value. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly...recommended a tour for me which I signed up for immediately. I ate in the attached pub... More

I stayed here for 2 nights by myself. I chose a hotel over the hostels because after reading all the reviews, it seemed the lesser of the evils. I was glad I stayed at the hotel. I knew what to expect when I arrived because I had read the reviews. If I wanted a fancier place I could have stayed... More

Checked in to the hotel for one night. was very pleased with a speedy check-in after driving around galway centre for half an hour looking for the hotel. There was no sign post locating the hotel.The room was spacious, a bit run down to be honest, walls were dirty, skirting boards could have done with a fresh paint,the carpet was... More

Very good location, in the center of the town. However, it was like a storyline from the 60s, with crumbliness furniture, humid atmosphere and rust on metal objects. Βreakfast was a joke, "clean my room" almost meant "straighten thoroughly dirty linen", and, one day, we found our room unlocked, after the visit of the cleaning lady. The staff was divised... More

The location of the hotel and breakfast was perfect. Liked the coffee/tea facilities in the room. And the lack of working ventilation in bathroom didn't ruin overall experience.

Right up the street from Eyre Square. Very helpful staff. They didn't mind a large group or lots of noise, which was great as we provided both. Big rooms, cheap. Didn't make the breakfast but I heard it was good too.

Be warned: Noisy hotel, due to stag/hen nights and integrated night club. Their booking process involves an email to this effect, to deter attempts at refunds etc. Booked three months in advance, and found I'd been allocated a smoking room. Enquired about this, and was told non-smoking rooms require a remark in the "Special Requirements" field when booking. Dingy overall... More

If you want a simple hotel but with a convenient City centre location, this is pretty much it. If your stay is short, you plan to be out most of the time and you want to be next to the City centre and the docks too, then this maybe it. It's a great location if you are walking from the... More

Nice hotel could do with some minor repairs. Our handle was loose and still hadn't been repaired when we checked out. I stayed for two nights very close to plenty of shops and pubs depending why you are there. Staff very helpful and friendly
