    Excellent hotel . Clean and as comfortable as you will find - fresh new look about it . We arrived late and checked out early as we were flying from Dublin airport but conveniently located as well for the airport ! There was no parking when we arrived at the hotel . That’s the only downside but I got some eventually

    Still a good location for access to Dublin City centre and Airport
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Executive Triple Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Room: We, a couple, were obliged to take a triple as no doubles were available. The room was clean, bright and spacious. Bathroom: In general clean, well-lit and ventilated. The shower was great except that it happened to be in a narrow, rickety bath from the 1900s and climbing over the rim of the bath could be precarious for some people . A walk-in shower would have been ideal. The toilet bowl was meant for six-footers. If one was any shorter, one's legs would dangle, not a good posture for doing one's business! Facilities: Good coffee/tea-making facilities. However the telephone did not work which could have been dire in case of an emergency. I had to contact reception by dialling the Skylon directory number on my mobile phone to inform them of this. A technician appeared but was unable to do anything about it. We checked out five days later and the phone was still out of order!

    Location: Easy access to City centre and Dublin airport via Public Transport. Next door to a Lidl store and a variety of restaurants across the street.

    Ideally placed for overnight airport travellers - great local cafes, bars and restaurants!

    Located for the airport traveller as well as for popping out to eat in one of the many restaurants bars and cafes nearby. A simple bus ride from and back to the airport! (remember to have cash ready if you are a one off bus user - 2 euro 50 cents at time of writing) Lovely comfortable bedrooms. Breakfast is buffet style in the bar area and meets all the expectations of an Irish breakfast. We booked the amazing SHOUK restaurant which is a ten minute walk to the Drumcondra railway station. Out of this world food and quirky restaurant. A must if staying at the Skylon but plenty of other options including the hotels bar food/restaurant which was busy! Bus stops 1 minute away! No 16 or 41 for the airport and come every 10 mins or so.

    Great location between the city and the airport, with easy bus links in either direction. Very helpful staff to provide advice on travel options. Even in early April, the room was very warm. I’d not advise a summer stay without any AC provision.

    Stayed here for 2 nights, everything was lovely and the staff are A1 , the only thing was I could not rest during the day or stay in the room because there was constant drilling, not very relaxing for a hotel stay, I know sometimes it can't be helped it was just unfortunate timing. But I would stay here again minus the drilling.

    A bit disappointed when checking out the girl on reception not pleasant at all.My partner was asking for a price for next weekend and no eye contact just said go on line. Totally different to the girl that checked us in. She was so nice and helpful.

    Excellent location, rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated.

    The hotel is quite fine, and you can reach it by a bus fee of 2.20 euros from the airport directly. There are also nice restaurants and pubs around.
