Large, clean, well maintained room with effective air conditioning. Ear plugs provided in case of noise from the bar below but the noise wasn’t too bad at all. Breakfast was at additional cost but was very nice. Would definitely recommend staying at the Skeff.

Fantastic location in Eyre Square! We enjoyed sitting out the front of the pub with a Guinness and watching the world go by. We had a twin room which was spacious and had great a/c. The room was really well thought out. E.g the shower taps are not under the shower head (you can turn it on without getting a wet arm!) and there is a clear sign to find the hair dryer!! Friendly staff. Great pub with music downstairs. (You can hear the music in the room as they above the pub, but we just drank enough to not hear it!!)

Wonderfully staffed, centrally located, gem of a hotel with spacious rooms. Both train and bus stations are very close by. The staff is so friendly and helpful! We thoroughly enjoyed The Skeffington Arms! Highly recommend!

The hotel is close to everything and parking is available which the hotel provides a great explanation of how to access. Despite it being a late night venue our room was very quiet and we enjoyed breakfast that was available - really good value. Would recommend’

Best location in Galway, but a little noisy as it is over a bar after all. But, if that’s your jam then this is the place!
