7.6/10
Despite some renovations still underway, the Victoria Hotel had several redeeming qualities, including its cleanliness and a friendly staff. My room was quite comfortable and centrally located, making it easy to explore Galway. However, the experience was marred by a lack of charm in the service and some basic amenities missing, which made it feel underwhelming for the price I paid.
