    This place suits me perfectly! It offers excellent wi-fi, a cozy bar lounge area, and 24-hour reception. I still remember how kindly the staff helped my old parents during our first stay.

    Can recommend for a brief pause

    Cozy room, friendly staff, the delicious breakfast made our stay memorable, and we appreciated the convenient location just a short bus ride from the center.

    Nothing all excellent

    tasty breakfast

    great access to parks and local dining options

    the staff were wonderful and breakfast was lovely, making it easy to start my day before exploring the beautiful mountjoy square park, which is just under 2 km away, and enjoying a tasty meal at one of the nearby restaurants like il corvo, just a few steps from the hotel.

    complimentary remote
    broken bathroom handle

    I had an amazing stay with a fantastic breakfast buffet, a great variety of hot and cold food, and a clean room with a complimentary fresh remote. I loved the homemade shortbread with the tea tray in my room. I would definitely choose this place again!

    delicious breakfast
    relaxing jacuzzi
    noise disturbance

    Had an awesome time here! The breakfast buffet was delicious and the jacuzzi was perfect for winding down after sightseeing. The only hiccup was a bit of noise at night, but that didn’t ruin the overall vibe. 😊

    great staff but a bit far from the city

    The staff couldn't have been more helpful, offering assistance with directions to the hotel and city center. The room was a good size, very clean, with a modern bathroom and excellent shower.

    It's quite a way out of Dublin city centre, but we knew that.

    convenient location

    I loved the warm atmosphere and the cozy room! The convenience of the nearby Lidl was a bonus, and I appreciated the early check-in service. The location was great too, with easy access via bus from the airport and lots of amenities around.

    comfortable room
    honest staff

    the skylon hotel was clean and comfortable. the staff were incredibly honest and friendly, as we left a few items behind, including money and cards, and they contacted us to hold them until we returned. it’s close to the airport, making an early flight a breeze. the food in the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced.

    strongly recommend

    comfortable beds

    Perfect for families seeking comfort and convenience

    We had a fantastic time at this spot. The staff was friendly, really went out of their way to help, and the dining was decent. We explored the nearby area on foot, hitting local favorites for lunch. One evening, we lounged in the lobby, a great people-watching spot, felt like we were part of something special. The room was clean, had everything we needed, and the beds were like clouds, seriously.

    Not the cheapest place out there, but it was worth it.

    welcoming staff
    spacious family room
    great location
    excessive room heat

    We had a fantastic time celebrating my partner's birthday at this hotel. The staff greeted us warmly, and we even enjoyed complimentary fizz upon arrival. The family room was spacious, perfect for my kids, and we were close to attractions — truly an excellent base for exploring Dublin.

    In my wife’s opinion, the heating was too warm for our liking.

    Comfortable Stay with Great Food Choices

    Had a delightful experience during our recent stay. The staff offered wonderful service, especially in the restaurant, where we enjoyed a fantastic dinner. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the dishes were ample and flavorful. A top tip, consider dining in instead of going out for local eats—both convenient and satisfying!

    cozy room
    comfortable beds
    nespresso machine
    window opening
    limited air circulation

    The Twin Room was really cozy and clean. The beds were super comfortable, and I loved that there was a Nespresso machine for coffee. Everything was tidy and well taken care of, so I felt relaxed. The only thing that could've been better was if the window opened wider for more fresh air. Overall, the room met my needs pretty well.

    Comfortable stay with great breakfast options

    I had a wonderful time during my stay! The room was spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable, which made for a relaxing experience. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast. it had an excellent selection, including a delicious Irish breakfast that was worth the €12.50. Overall, I'd consider coming back for the cozy atmosphere and friendly service.
