The property was easily accessed from the bus and train station. The downside to staying at this hotel was the construction and a nearby site.

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.
