Lock in a great price for Dublin Skylon Hotel – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

The hotel is nice. It's bigger than I had expected, there is a very large and comfortable lobby, a restaurant, and bar. The staff are kind & helpful. The room was spacious. There was a portable fan in the room which circulated the air very nicely and helped us get a good night's sleep.

Ron, United States of America

Large rooms, clean bathrooms. Coffee and tea facilities in the room. Bus stop in front of the hotel. Easy Access from the airport. Restaurants and food shops very near on Drumcondra Road. Croke park can be reached by walking distance (15 min).

Andrej_krupenko, Slovenia

Extremely warm welcome and reception staff very personable. Hotel is clean and comfortable and a short taxi ride from the Airport.

John, United Kingdom

Free parking good location. Bus outside the door going to town. Croke pk 15min walk away. Soundproof rooms. Comfortable & clean.

We stayed initially for 3 nights then one on our return home. Rooms excellent as were staff. One thing in your bar/restaurant area, staff great. But when leaving the restaurant had to chase staff for our bill, should take your room no before taking the order, easy then to put on account. This happened several times causing delays as staff busy. Only once we were seated at the door and room number taken.

Vera, Jersey

All the multiple question are ticked at the highest level. That says it all. Just a great place to stay. On good bus service to Town-right side of City for Airport-very clean-friendly staff-great bar-good breakfast. 10/10 I'd say

John, United Kingdom

The bed was comfy The house keeping staff were amazing, clean towels every day Beds made Room spotless every day and tidy,

Sharon, United Kingdom

The service was excellent from the warm welcome we received at reception, to the friendly and helpful service from restaurant and bar staff and the car park manager! Car parking was so easy too and a relatively short drive from Dublin port.

Maggie, United Kingdom

I had the porridge and toast porridge was yummy my partner had the full breakfast equally yummy.

Anne, United Kingdom

Our trip to Dublin purposely required that we stay at the Skylon. It was more of a sentimental visit. Dublin was my oldest brother's first trip out of the Philippines in the mid-1970s and they then stayed at the Skylon. More than 40 years after, it has since then been renovated to be bigger and modern. My brother was happy to be back. Staff are friendly. Loved the toiletries and handmade potato chips provided in the room. Lobby is big and spacious with many seating areas. Though not in the city centre, the bus stop is right across, as well as a convenience store and pizza shop.

눉Much further walk into the centre of Dublin that mentioned. Tired bathroon, floor tile cut my husband's foot. Was promptly offered another room but with 4 staying in the room it was too much trouble. Room over priced and breakfast not included in price.
눇Adequat family room.

눉To visit downtown you have to get on a bus the fare for which is €2.70 each way.
눇The hotel is nice. It's bigger than I had expected, there is a very large and comfortable lobby, a restaurant, and bar. The staff are kind & helpful. The room was spacious. There was a portable fan in the room which circulated the air very nicely and helped us get a good night's sleep.

Pleasant
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children

눉Very mixed emotions about this hotel. At first sight, wau, but then... No Air Condition in the room, room headed south, so practically all day long sunshine. We were "lucky" to get non-wet weather during our stay, after all. Windows could have been opened for only one inch, so flow of the air was practically minimum. There was a fan in the room, but it hadn't been cleaned for years. Quiet dusty floors. Breakfast costs 12 EUR/person. Very expensive, as well as room-rate.
눇Large rooms, clean bathrooms. Coffee and tea facilities in the room. Bus stop in front of the hotel. Easy Access from the airport. Restaurants and food shops very near on Drumcondra Road. Croke park can be reached by walking distance (15 min).

“Comfortable hotel to use as a base to explore Dublin from”

눉4 stars suggest high quality and excellent service which was not our experience with a room overlooking neighbouring buildings, no air conditioning and the promise of bottled water and replenished coffee not delivered despite 2 requests. Location is 20 minutes out of Dublin and on a busy main road.
눇Extremely warm welcome and reception staff very personable. Hotel is clean and comfortable and a short taxi ride from the Airport.
