Love Galway and the Skeffington.

Liked: The location was perfect coming from train station. The reception staff was super friendly and helpful. The bar room and restaurant was really cool. Food was good too! We knew it would be good from Rick Steve's recommendation.
Disliked: The room was really quiet at the back of the hotel, but the window looked directly at building and felt too enclosed and dark. But being quiet was most important. So it worked.

Book it! It’s a great...

Liked: If you’re staying in Galway this place is the perfect location to see the town. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and friendly. Could not say enough about how helpful they were! Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again when in Galway.
Disliked: Nothing! They said that it could be loud at night because of the pub attached to the hotel but where our room was we didn’t hear anything.

Great 2 night stay.

Liked: The Skeffington was an awesome place to stay in Galway. Right across from Eyre Square and a few blocks away from shops and the Latin Quarter. Room was comfortable and the staff was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: VERY loud on thursday night - it was hard to sleep. i can’t imagine the weekends. the rooms are outdated in design. the breakfast area wreaked of gas so much (from the kitchen) that we couldn’t bear to sit and wait for our food

Liked: I only have amazing things to say about this hotel!! The location is absolutely perfect to explore Galway by foot. The rooms were fabulous and the pub attached to the hotel was perfect after a day walking around Galway. I am not sure I have ever interacted with such friendly and helpful staff. They were so welcoming and kind. 100% would stay here again.

Short one night stay but...

Liked: Location is fantastic, right in the center of things, bathroom spotless and beds very comfy. Breakfast was amazing and the view over Eyre Square a bonus. Very pleasant stay.
Disliked: When we first entered the room there was a nasty smell. Once we closed over the window it was fine. The air con was good so we didn't need the window open.

Great stay in Galway!

Liked: Location is perfect to get to anything in Galway. The staff were all super friendly! The room was comfortable.
Disliked: This is a small issue: Being co-located with The Skeff is a two-edged sword; 1) great food and drink in a great atmosphere. 2) It was slightly noisy in the room at night/evenings but could be managed with earplugs or headphones.
