Helpful staff at reception. Good places to eat opposite and the Spar shop was handy too.

The hotel was very close to both the ferry terminal and a short trip on the bus into the city. It was value for money in a very expensive country - some of the B&B's we were having to pay more and in cash and they were not of the same standard.

The hotel is ideally situated on the Drumcondra Rd near city centre and just off the M1. For people travelling North you are out of the city in minutes e.g. Dundalk 50 mins. You avoid all the traffic.

Thankfully this was not a romantic weekend break! The Skylon was conveniently located near Croke Park. I booked a twin room for my sister and I as we were going to see the Ireland V France rugby match. The room was very poor standard. There was a broken light fitting over the single bed and the smell of stale cigarette smoke was overwhelming. The windows only opened an inch so the room felt dusty as smokey. The remote control on the television also didn't work. The restaurant, lobby and bar area were like a different hotel. The food in the bar was very tasty and reasonably priced. We ate here after the match and we were delighted with it. We also had a few drinks in the bar before we went back to the awful room. The following morning we were packing half an hour before check out and there were knocks at our door several times (presumably room service). When we checked out we were not asked if everything was ok and were rushed through quickly as there was a queue. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to a friend unless there was a very good deal on the price of the room.

This is a lovely Hotel, very reasonably priced, decent location. Rooms were adequate, breakfast was lovely. The only one complaint was that the heat in the hotel (particularly in the bedrooms) was ridiculous.

It is a definite stop over hotel, budget too. On the way to the airport, up for a show, etc. Not really for a romantic weekend!!! Excellent location for everything I think. We had a daughter graduating from St Pats College next door so it was really fantastically located for that.

I was given a room that was in really really bad condition.I was given a second room that was in equally bad condition.Finally the third room I was given was excellent.It was such a shame I had to complain about the first two to eventually get a good one!

Excellent location. Good atmosphere and staff very good. Very important that non refurbished part of the hotel is upgraded as soon as possible as rooms and contents a real turn off.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I cannot praise them enough. The only problem was the temperature in the rooms. We could not sleep as it was too warm but when we took our blankets off it was too cold!

Great location close to airport in a quiet residential neighborhood with easy bus access to the City Center. Charming lobby and restaurant/bar and a light, bright dining room with good breakfast buffet choices. Beds were comfortable, crisp linen, windows opened, large clean bath room.

my first impression was good, however when looked at closely I found the hotel shabby. The toilet seat in my room was cracked, some light switches did not work,the hairdryer did not work. Service in the bar was poor, we went for a drink but the bar man ignored us for 15 minutes so we left without a drink! Reception staff and waiters were good. we bought a voucher for a continential breakfast at reception. the menu stated full continental breakfast including pastries, cheese selection ham, toast and fruit. however the only fruit was prunes, there were no pastries! our 8 euro breakfast ended up as toast and tea!!!!!
