Staff are amazing and our room was quiet despite a lot going on in the pub downstairs. I appreciated the parking validation too. Cut the price of parking more than in half!

Loved our stay!

We loved it! All of the staff were friendly and helpful. We felt immediately welcome. The room was basic but all we needed. Breakfasts were delicious and varied enough to have something different each day. The hotel provide earplugs because of the noise of the bar downstairs but we found the room quiet and slept easily. The proximity to nightlife and sightseeing made it a perfect walkable location.

The Skeffington Arms is a super cool property. The only drawbacks are that one end of the restaurant smelled a little bit like a bathroom, the heater in our room would not shut off so I finally had to turn off the power to it, and it's a bit noisy late at night when music is playing in the restaurant. But overall, it was great, and we will stay there again next time we are in Galway.

Best Location and better Customer Service!

The location can't be beat. It is literally on Eyre Square in the heart of Galway, right next to 10 Euro a day carpark and 2 minute walk from the Train station. The breakfast was huge and tasty. I will definitely return. The part that stood out was the customer service! From reception to the dining room to the cleaning staff everyone was so nice and went above and beyond the usual. They didn't just help. They took the time to chat and offer advice. It was so welcoming. WELL DONE TO ALL!

Fantastic team working there. Everyone was grand and friendly. Hotel was clean and loved the colors and uniqueness of the hotel. They had to deal with an unfortunate and out of their control issue regarding the water supply but they had a great solution in place and handled it fantasically. I hope other people were understanding and kind to the team onsite because they handled everything greatly.

The hotel is right on Eyre Square so in the heart of everything. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Hotel was very quiet even though it was right next door to The Skeff bar.
