If you're planning to stay in Galway (which is a tourist trap and absolutely not like anything described in the guide books) avoid this place like the plague. Nothing works from the TV to the A/C, I'm surprised there is water coming out of the faucets. And the pub next door has a disco going almost every night with earthshaking...

We stayed here for one night in Galway. The staff is great, location good, and food excellent. Do try the scones or porridge! Rooms are compact, but clean and modernized, plus the lift is a big help if you have larger suitcases.
A hug thank you to our fabulous cocktail maker and shaker - Mikey. Both bridesmaides hoping that our lovely sister (the hen) would enjoy her cocktail making session were delighted with the attention and humour Mikey provided throughout this evening. I secretly think my mum fell for Mikey and his charming ways!!!! :-) The whole party were in stitches lauging...

Place was clean, people were great. Excellent location. Good place to eat and have a Guinness. Convenient location. Park at the Metro across from the park for cheap money

Our visit was made all the more enjoyable by the friendly and helpful staff in the skeffington hotel. It is situated in the town centre, near to everything, very clean and GREAT food. Do...

Returned to Galway and to my favourite hotel The Skeffington during the Easter holidays. After a few visits one feels like its returning home as the extra friendly staff greet you by your first name and I love the "thank Crunchie its Friday" complimentary bars to welcome you. Location cannot be beaten and neither can the delicious breakfasts with great...

oh and the staff is nice - otherwise, what a dump! Can't pull up in front of the hotel to drop off your bags and closest car park is more than 5 minutes away. No big deal? What about dragging luggage through the car park and across the square to the hotel? And trying to get info from the front...

We stayed in The Skef as we were attending a function in Galway and wanted a very basic room for a night but we got much more that we bargained for. Check-in was extremely quick and efficient (why can't all hotels be like this?). On entering the room I immediately realised I had the wrong impression of this hotel. The...
