Can’t say enough good things about this hotel, especially the staff! Niall was a gem in helping us out at every turn! We appreciated the heads up about how the connected bar may get a bit noisy at night, but all was good. Especially appreciated the extra security measures the hotel takes at night which made us feel very comfortable. The location is outstanding, perfect for walking to shops, restaurants and music! It was our final stay ending a 2 week vacation in Ireland beginning in Dublin, and I would highly recommend the Skeffington Hotel! Many thanks for a great stay! Joan and Jason

Our room (102) was right over the bar and it sounded like we were trying to sleep on the bar among the glasses :-)! We had to cut our stay down to one night due to lack of sleep. They should not rent that room on music nights but I am sure they make more money on the pub than the rooms !! Not sure how others felt but we saw a bunch of people moving out early the next morning.

Great location. Beds comfortable. Really great service. 3 stars because there are incredibly thin walls. Heard the TV and a whole lot more (!) Next door. So bring some serious earplugs. Both of us slept with headphones on!

The front desk staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The location was excellent with the train station nearby and a lot of shops and restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel. Very convenient location. My only issue was the exhaust fan in the washroom was a bit too loud for me whenever it was switched on. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. Thank you.

I wish we would have booked for longer than one night! We loved the room as it was the most spacious, clean, fun, and well equipped of all of the hotels we booked for our two week Ireland adventure. Also, the staff was the most pleasant and friendly of all! The location couldn’t have been better as it is in the center of town. There is an attached restaurant/bar that can get loud but it didn’t bother us at all.

Great place to stay. Park at the Q park for Eyre Sq around the block from the inn and make sure to get a discount with the front desk. Front desk and staff are extremely helpful. 5⭐️ location!

Room was good and the beds were comfortable. You could tell there were people outside on the sidewalk in the late evening but it was very muted. There was no evidence of noise from the 6 bars two floors below. Night light was a good touch. Breakfast was OK, not amazing. We opted to go across the square to Esquire and that was the best of the coffee shops nearby. There must be 20 restaurants between the square and the river.

The only way to stay in Galway!
We loved the centrality of this hotel. It is close to the train station whicih helped us leave early for our itinerary. It's also close to a hostel where many bus trips leave from on the same block. I would say that if you're looking for a hotel with a built-in pub, this is the place. If you want a quieter hotel for sleeping and you're a light sleeper, maybe one on another street would be best. Overall I felt like this was a good choice for us. The staff was super helpful with any question, even researching and helping us print some train tickets we needed help with. Thank you to all!

Great location little loud
This was a great little hotel and centrally located. You do have to park at the mall down the road for 10 euro a night and the bar/restaurant is quite loud til two am which you can hear through the walls. We still got some good rest as the beds were cozy and they put a chocolate on our pillow. The lady at the front desk was always so nice and full of energy
