A wonderful hotel, great room, location out of town, but close enough. Very noisy in the hallways, but that was short lived. Martin gave great information in the lead up and was very friendly. Very nice place.

This hotel was a great find on our trip around Ireland. The room was lovely and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Great location for visiting smaller villages around the area. Would definitely stay here again if we were back in Ireland.

Beautifully appointed throughout. The suite we were upgraded to was outstanding. Bed super comfortable. The included breakfast was made to order and delicious.

By chance we happened to book this place for 2 nights and found it to be one of the best places we have stayed at in Ireland. The room we had was comfortable and entirely suitable for our needs. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included in our room rate which was very good and substantial. The breakfast service was prompt friendly and efficient. All up very good value.

Super friendly staff and service, close walking proximity to the township, and off street parking! Close to public transport, supermarket and pubs! Lots of Pubs! The room was wasn't modern but very comfortable, and great shower water pressure.

This is an excellent place to stay with very friendly Irish hospitality. The funky restaurant and bar has lots of different dining options and helpful staff. I'd recommend the fish pie, it was sensational! We had such a good time we didn't venture into Galway after dinner, we were happy staying at the hotel for our 2 night stay! The breakfast is included in the room rate and we had plenty of choice and were very happy.

Small but perfectly put together! As a solo traveler it was the perfect location, very secure and super comfortable. I genuinely miss that bed! The front door is right on the main strip of shops, so you walk out and the world is your oyster! I will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful hostel, near Galway bay. A lovely breakfast, cafe and staff. Not super close to the Latin quarter( about a 25 min walk) however the walk is very scenic and we enjoyed walking. Would highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at the Skeffington Hotel. All the staff were great from the friendly and helpful reception staff, to the dining room and the adjoining hotel. The accommodation was spacious, clean, comfortable and modern. The adjoining hotel is a wonderful location for a drink, watching sport or listening to music. We were not disturbed late at night by any noise from the hotel though that may be different in the warmer months. A big thankyou to The Skef for a wonderful stay in...
