Summary of reviews related to the '3 Star' categoryThe Skeffington Arms Hotel offers a mix of experiences for its guests. As a three-star hotel, it provides a comfortable and pleasant stay, particularly suitable for short stays. The rooms, though basic, are very comfortable with great shower pressure. Traditional decor and layout give it an old-world charm, although some may find it dated and in need of repairs.
The location is excellent, situated in the heart of Galway, making it an ideal spot for exploring the city. The staff are frequently praised for being courteous and incredibly helpful, contributing significantly to the overall positive experience.
However, there are a few downsides. The hotel can be noisy at times with creaking noises and occasional disturbances from other guests. While the hotel boasts all necessary services, the pricing has been a point of contention. Many find it expensive for a three-star hotel, suggesting that the rates are higher than what is typically expected for this category with some rooms priced at €299 per night, which seems steep given the quality and condition of the rooms.
In summary, the Skeffington Arms Hotel provides a comfortable, well-located stay with friendly service, albeit at a price point that some may find excessive for its three-star rating.
