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.

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.

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

We were above the bar which made it noisy at night. The earplugs they provided didn’t really cut it.

8/10

The Skeffington Arms is a super cool property. The only drawbacks are that one end of the restaurant smelled a little bit like a bathroom, the heater in our room would not shut off so I finally had to turn off the power to it, and it's a bit noisy late at night when music is playing in the restaurant. But overall, it was great, and we will stay there again next time we are in Galway.
