If the management of this hotel paid as much attention to the fabric of the building, as the wonderful staff do for the needs of the guests, then this would be a much better class of hotel. The room I was given on the first floor overlooked the roof of the dining room. Fans or motors were constantly running until... More

Stayed at Dublin Skylon over St. Patricks Day, we were greeted immediately and given our room promptly, this was such a relief because we had just got done with 8 hours of travel. The rooms were nice, and the staff was super friendly. Only draw back was that the head of our bed rested on the wall that was also... More

Choice the Skylon blindly as we needed a Dublin stopover between a Kerry trip and early morning flight. Turned out to be a real gem. Staff were great, meal in the bar hit the spot and the drive to the airport as simple as travelling from the airport itself.

The hotel is on a busy road but quit peaceful inside. Good sized rooms, the beds are a little soft and only doubles, but for the price we paid it was great value, would be happy to stay there again. Has car parking but if you have anything bigger than a mini, best to park under the building. The brasserie... More

My partner and I recently spent 2 nights at the Skylon, this was our third time there and as usual it was faultless. Good bar food, music on the Fri night and a large clean room all helped to make the weekend most enjoyable, we will be back.

The Dublin Skylon is an economically priced Best Western hotel. It offers pretty good facilities including free WiFi and we were lucky enough to get one of its newly renovated rooms. For me the most useful thing about this hotel is its position directly on the main road from the airport to the city centre and the availability of many... More

I had a lovely 3day stay in the Skylon. Thank you to all the staff for their attention and care and also for the quiet room I had requested. If I could offer one bit of advice I would say you could have some more staff in the bar as service was sometimes slow....other than that perfect!
