Enjoyed our stay at the Skeffington, everyone was very friendly and accommodating especially the reception staff who were always ready to help to provide directions or recommendations. We were well aware that noise might be an issue and while we did hear some noise and vibration from the pub well into the wee hours, neither were a big issue for us. Loved the location, the breakfast was wonderful, enjoyed our meal and drinks in the pub. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely stay here again.

Guest reviews
Skeffington ArmsHotel averages 4.5 out of 5 across 1,007 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Lovely hotel located next to Eyre Square, making it a short walk to Latin Quarters (where most of the attractions are). We had the apartment, which was located behind the hotel and up 2 flights of stairs, but was spacious and had amenities(washer/dryer, fridge, fans for each room). Also had a beautiful view overlooking Eyre Square with cushioned window seats. And finally, the staff were very helpful. We had a small mishap and they were very helpful in sorting it out.
Perfect location in Galway. Restaurants and pubs close to hotel. Very good Coffee shop next door. Staff very nice and helpful with directions and suggestions for places to eat and shop. They told us the restaurant next to it might be noisy, we were on the second floor and never heard anything. I would definitely stay there again!
