房間很大,乾淨,因為樓下是酒吧,看到有些評價説有點吵,真的一點不吵,説明隔音很好。前台很熱情,地點實在太方便了,市中心,去大巴站走路5分鐘。我還需要去市外的business park,酒店下面的公交車直接到,太方便了,下班後到酒店後面的步行街逛,下次還住這兒

Loved the Skeffington Arms Hotel
From the time we walked in the door until the day we checked out, the people at the front desk went out of their way to make our stay the best ever. They were awesome!!! The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Additional we loved going down to the bar to listen to the live music. I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel if you ever get a chance!!!

Amazing music, location and water pressure!
We had a very comfortable stay at the Skeffington Arms in Galway. We had 2 rooms for a family of 4. The beds were comfortable, and there was air conditioning in each room. One of our rooms' air conditioning units was not working properly, and the room was a bit warm, but not bad. We were located in the back of the hotel, so we were not disturbed by the music in the pub downstairs. We immensely enjoyed the musician at the Skeff Bar. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The building is a beauty, but old, so all things considered, they have nicely kept the old building updated with modern amenities. I stayed in many hotels throughout my travels in Ireland, and this hotel has, by far, the best water pressure of any place I stayed. It was amazing and worth the price of the stay! I would stay here again when visiting Galway.

Exactly as described in other reviews
Firstly, the staff is INCREDIBLE. Just the nicest, most helpful team I’ve come across during my team in Ireland. otherwise, the hotel is as described in many reviews, older space, partially renovated, great location, can be noisy until 1-2am due to downstairs daily live music. Service 5 star, hotel as described- 3 star.
