10/10 Excellent

Fun place to stay with excellent location, convenient walk to lots of attractions. Bathroom was like new. Would have been nicer if we could open the windows.
William, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Lovely hotel and staff were wonderful. There was live music that was loud though, and we were hoping for good sleep. Maybe we should have known that Galway city centre is lively. We had never been there before.
Brooke, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Property location is PERFECT! In the heart of Eyre Square and all the pubs, restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The Skeff Pub was awsome for any time of the day. Also visited the adjacent coffee shop NERO quite often for early morning and afternoon coffee. Great little spot!

We loved the Skeffington Arms. Great food and music downstairs, the room was immaculate and well-designed.
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Wonderful location & staff. Was a bit noisy at nighttime.
Deborah, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The place was great. It’s definitely worth a younger crowd who doesn’t mind a lot of music because the place is bumping at night, but it was so cute. The decor was cute. The people were amazing there. I had a great time my mom not so much lol
Amanda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location for exploring Galway! 5 minute walk to the train station and the pick up for Galway Tours. Clean and comfortable room and reasonably quiet considering the bar downstairs.

Hotel staff was excellent
Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Adjacent to Eyre square. Room had aircon, plenty of places nearby to eat and drink. A little difficult to find if you are driving. Traffic in the area is atrocious. You can just hear the bass from the pub band so, not too good if you are a light sleeper. Reception was great and showed me on Google maps how to get to the validated parking. Enjoyed my stay there.
Stephen, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff was excellent! Loved the music. The ONLY thing was the bed. WORST MATTRESS on our entire trip. It was hard and thin.
Hester, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good for young people going out

A great hotel for young people partying in Galway, for families doing tours or exploring probably better to go somewhere else. The attached pub downstairs has music until 2am Thurs-Sat, 12am Sun-Wed. Staff is very friendly, but the description should make that clear so people know.
Sarah, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic!!
Kevin, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff are amazing and our room was quiet despite a lot going on in the pub downstairs. I appreciated the parking validation too. Cut the price of parking more than in half!
