Pleasant stay.

Rooms are dated but clean and comfortable. Very convenient location. There is noise from the bar but we knew that going in, and it is not obnoxious. Staff was great.

Loved the Skeffington Arms Hotel

From the time we walked in the door until the day we checked out, the people at the front desk went out of their way to make our stay the best ever. They were awesome!!! The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Additional we loved going down to the bar to listen to the live music. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel if you ever get a chance!!!

Great place to stay in Galway

We were delighted with our stay at the Skeffington! The location was perfect, staff was so attentive, friendly and responsive and the room itself was spotless and comfortable. Their signage made everything very easy and the extra amenities: bottled water, chocolate, biscuits were all an unexpected treat. We will definitely stay again and highly recommend!

10/10 Exceptional

The property was great. The rooms were nice, and the pub downstairs was really funky with good music and drinks. I especially liked the staff working the desk. They were super helpful and friendly, particularly Siobahn.

Fun place to stay with excellent location, convenient walk to lots of attractions. Bathroom was like new. Would have been nicer if we could open the windows.

Liam, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property location is PERFECT! In the heart of Eyre Square and all the pubs, restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The Skeff Pub was awsome for any time of the day. Also visited the adjacent coffee shop NERO quite often for early morning and afternoon coffee. Great little spot!
Fred, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely hotel and staff were wonderful. There was live music that was loud though, and we were hoping for good sleep. Maybe we should have known that Galway city centre is lively. We had never been there before.

Deborah, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location for exploring Galway! 5 minute walk to the train station and the pick up for Galway Tours. Clean and comfortable room and reasonably quiet considering the bar downstairs.
Laura, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place was great. It’s definitely worth a younger crowd who doesn’t mind a lot of music because the place is bumping at night, but it was so cute. The decor was cute. The people were amazing there. I had a great time my mom not so much lol
