This is a great hotel because of the ease of access to the shops in Galway. We prepaid for parking at the hotel and just used that payment ticket to come as go as we pleased from the parking garage. The rooms are smaller than American hotel rooms but very comfortable. The staff was helpful and polite. We slept with the windows open because the weather was so nice.

It’s a clean and quiet place that’s walking distance to anywhere you would want to go in Galway City Center. I loved that it’s close to places but tucked away just enough from the businesses of the city. The Victoria would be my only choice for future visits.

Nice older hotel with charm. If you are not used to city noise the hotel will seem noisy at night due to proximity to Eyre square.
