Great location. We used the bus to travel from the airport to hotel and then again to get downtown. Bus stop is a short walk from the hotel. There are good restaurants within walking distance. Friendly staff!

James United States of America

Breakfast was very nice, but we had to catch a flight so couldn’t fully enjoy all the extensive options.

Devito United States of America

It’s in a super cute strip of pubs, near a very pretty neighborhood. We stayed the night before our flight, but we wish we had come early enough to explore the area. Had a nice walk.

Anne United States of America

Perfect location for city and airport. I regularly stay at the Skylon and enjoy their full Irish breakfast.
