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.

Ok Hotel

The Skeffington is in a busy area with bars, restaurants and shopping. That made it convenient. The parking is tough. The car park is a few blocks away and pretty busy. The hotel could use some serious updating. The manager Nile is fabulous! He answered all our questions and is just as nice as can be.

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!
