Skeffington ArmsHotel

10/10 Excellent
"We were extremely happy with our stay at the Skeffington Arms. The receptionist welcomed us warmly and graciously, answered our questions, showed us where things were on a map, and suggested restaurants and shops. Our room was lovely: clean and spacious with all the necessary amenities. We were surprised when we received extra towels and toilet paper every day, even though we didn’t request them. No other hotel has ever done that, in Ireland or anywhere else in Europe. That was much appreciated, especially when we returned at night from tours. We enjoyed a freshly cooked delicious breakfast, and what we didn’t finish we asked to be packed for us, as we had to meet a tour bus. We stopped by the adjoining bar/restaurant, which has live music nightly until about 1:00 a.m., and were happy with the cocktails and our meal. We highly recommend The Skeffington Arms and will be delighted to book lodgings there again. Oh! The hotel’s location on Eyre Square is perfect for getting to all the main attractions, restaurants and train station. The Skeffington Arms is a gem!!!"
