The long walk

The room decor and lyrics on the ceiling was a cool touch. Live band and attentive staff made a great stay. The fact that there could be a link (maybe not) to skeffington in Leicestershire. Really good food, disappointed we could not make the quiz as it sounded brilliant.

The place was great. It’s definitely worth a younger crowd who doesn’t mind a lot of music because the place is bumping at night, but it was so cute. The decor was cute. The people were amazing there. I had a great time my mom not so much lol

We loved the Skeffington and the staff was wonderful, especially Niall at the front desk. There is a restaurant/bar attached and a really great pizza place next door. Location was 5 stars! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Property location is PERFECT! In the heart of Eyre Square and all the pubs, restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The Skeff Pub was awsome for any time of the day. Also visited the adjacent coffee shop NERO quite often for early morning and afternoon coffee. Great little spot!

Beautiful hotel with endless bars and public spaces. Clean and well appointed rooms with a slightly funky decor. Easy walk to sights, pubs, restaurants, salthill and we even walked to Pearse Stadium. Staff was professional and very friendly, especially Siobahn who was tremendously helpful.

Adjacent to Eyre square. Room had aircon, plenty of places nearby to eat and drink. A little difficult to find if you are driving. Traffic in the area is atrocious. You can just hear the bass from the pub band so, not too good if you are a light sleeper. Reception was great and showed me on Google maps how to get to the validated parking. Enjoyed my stay there.

This is a great boutique hotel right in the middle of Eyre Square. It is walkable to all kinds of shopping restaurants bars and the riverfront. Parking was a nightmare but it will be for any place in this area honestly. They did validate so it was about half price to park. The room and interior had kind of a Hollywood feel to it, which wasn’t bad but just a bit odd. Everything was clean and the staff was exceptionally friendly. The best part was the attached bar. It stayed open late and had a live musician until 10pm. Prices were also very reasonable. They also provide complimentary earplugs in the rooms but I didn’t need them. Highly recommended. Just mentally prepare for the parking and traffic challenge if you’re driving. Other than that a great choice!

We were above the bar which made it noisy at night. The earplugs they provided didn’t really cut it.

Cute and quirky hotel
