Skeffington Arms in Galway

A super friendly pub in the thwart of Galway. Step out onto the Christmas market. Can't beat it!

I've been here a few times for food and it never fails! The staff are friendly and very accommodating! Food was very flavoursome the chicken panko with the mushroom was lovely!!

The location is great, very close to the coach station The room we got was spacious and comfortable. The staff are very nice and helpful.

Was in Galway for about 4 days during the horse races on vacation. Hotel was very clean, staff were incredibly kind and willing to give advice to foreigners, location was perfect. Parking is the only downside as you have to park in a garage nearby but the hotel itself was incredible. Also connected to the Skeff bar which had great drinks and Irish breakfast. Excellent experience overall would definitely go back.

If you know my reviews you will know I only review if I have been. I had a drink or 2 but never stayed. Staff good craic. Prime location.

I would never stay anywhere else in Galway! Food - Sarah at breakfast was kind, welcoming, and efficient! She made us all start our day with a smile! The Skeff has the best bangers and mash I had in Ireland. Drink - Collum, Rory, and Tiernan were exceptional! Not only were they efficient, but they took the time to teach our whole large group about whiskey! I don't drink whiskey, but I was able to learn enough to recommend drinks for other people that joined our group later. They were all very knowledgeable and fun! The bar had great music each night and never lacked for energetic company! Reception - the reception team at the Skeff will make your visit! We had a large, chatty group and that could have been a lot for some teams, but not here! The staff felt like part of our journey through Galway. Marie, Frances, and Niall went above and beyond! I've never experienced such a knowledgeable, welcoming, and accommodating team. They provided prosecco when a couple from our group got engaged, refrigeration for some celebratory cakes, and even saved some of us when we got stuck about 30 minutes away. Marie always had the largest smile on her face when we walked in and it made us want to tell her about our day! Niall went above and beyond to help us in every situation! We asked a lot of questions and he always had the answer or found it for us. At least for me, Niall made Galway the best part of our trip! Location - The Skeff is located right on the square. It has local busses and taxis less than a block away, regional busses and trains on the other side of the square, delicious cafes scattered everywhere, and just a short walk to the Latin quarter or west end for drinks, food, and live music!
