This neat hotel on Eyre Square is in a great location to explore Galway City. The staff were very friendly - especially the waiter at Breakfast; the hotel should also be complimented on its nice breakfasts!! We ate in the restaurant area of this hotel one evening and found the food to be of good standard as well. During your... more

We stayed two nights mid-week and based upon reading other reviews of this hotel, requested a 2nd floor room, since it is a downtown location. It was very quiet, even being on Eyre Square across from JFK park. The room was very clean and modern, complete with ironing board/hair dryer, etc. Location was excellent, and the Skeff Bar is on... more

You can't beat the location of this hotel right on Eyre Square. I really loved the modern feel and the bar is incredible- with beautiful wooden panelling and a friendly staff. We got a great deal on our rooms for 80 euros/night and it was well worth it. Considering how bad Irish breakfasts are, this is the best one we... more

I had the pleasure of staying two nights in the Skeffington Arms Hotel. I got a very reasonable rate especially for this time of the year. I had some lovely barfood in the Skeff bar and there was traditional irish music being played in here as well. Which would go down very well with the tourists. The receptionist informed me... more

Okay, it can be loud. We stayed there St. Patrick's Day eve and St. Patrick's Day night. Party goers rocked the place. However, since I had read the reviews, I brought ear plugs and a white sound machine. No problem. Staff is very friendly and responsive; location on Eyre Square made it possible for us to have front row places... more

Having read the reviews on tripadvisor.com, we decided to give the Skeff a try. We got a good Internet deal, as we thought, so were happy to try it out. On arrival we were happy with the nice reception and modern family room that we received. Having returned after dinner that evening, we were getting ready to tuck in for... more

We arrived in Galway late and walked around looking for a hotel. Was attracted to the Skeffington Arms but the lack of parking put us off. Luckily we decided to stay and were able to park at a near-by carpark for 50% discount -- about 11 euros for the night. The Skeffington Arms is in a pedestrian precinct so it... more

Our one stay at the Skeffington was in celebration of boyfriends 50th Birthday on our week trip in Ireland. Amanda at the front desk was charming and helped make our stay very special. Our room was incredibly clean, modern touches - obviously had been recently re-done. Could have been a little noisy with a club on back street, but wasn't... more
