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.

Quiet comfortable accommodation in downtown Galway
Despite being in a busy section of Galway, the room was very quiet due to the double “city” windows. The room was large, the bed comfortable, the dining area luxurious and the staff very friendly.
