“Wonderful staff, great service!”

from checking in to leaving after five days the Skylon was a wonderful experience. the stafff was helpful, friendly and accomodating. all the meals we ate including the buffet breakfast were great and the service was spot on. a little out of the way for such a great hotel, but awesome restaurants right across the street and convenient neighborhood location. will definantly recomend this hotel to friends and when i go back it is the place to stay.

Area recommendations
temple bar because of the great shops, coffee bars, restaurants, people watching. but if you want a drink with ice look hard because most small places do not have any.
Getting around
we rented a car and after gettiing used to the whole driving on the left side it was great. really opens up your opportunities for seeing the area.
Dining
try the typical irish fair, but the eclectic restaurants serve an excellent variety of food. try thai, itialian, etc.

“Great Dublin Hotel”

I was fairly satisfied with this hotel. It was clean and comfortable. The location was not very convenient, and upon check-in our room was not what we requested. However the customer service was great and they switched our rooms with no problem at all. They were very helpful. I would stay here again, but unless you are wanting to take the bus to downtown Dublin, try finding something a little closer to the city center.

“Good location halfway between town and airport”

Skylon hotel is a nice comfortable hotel between Dublin town centre and Dublin Airport. If you don't mind taking a bus or taxi to the center of town only 15 minutes away. The hotel lobby is very comfortable huge red couches that you sink into very nice to have coffee/tea and scones service! The rooms are average size but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was ten euro extra and not worth it go elsewhere! I found the hotel bar/restaurant very expensive for the food and drink and in dire need of a makeover, very dated alcoves seating area compared to the lobby. You are better off going across the street to the Ivy House great food and drink specials and nice venue.

Christchurch very central near all attractions

“Perfect setting for our first visit to Ireland.”

We arrived at the hotel at 10:00am. We checked about early check in and was told a room could be ready by 11:00. They kept our bags and we had an early lunch at a nearby deli. It was just one of the example of our (me and my 2 daughters) ahd with the hotel being very accomadating for our 5 night stay. I really worried about booking a hotel online and not being able to call and make sure it was what I wanted. The hotel lobby was very quaint and had afternoon tea everyday, there was always someone at the front desk to answer questions for us and if they didn't know they would get back to us promptly. The room was old fashioned in looks that just added to the charm of the place and the room was clean and always cleaned when we returned from our days of touring. We were very pleased with our stay at this hotel.

Area recommendations
We were 10 min. from down town and I would recommend being a few minutes from the metro area for it is quite busy. Any further would be too long of a bus ride.
Other
I highly recommend the Paddywagon tours for tourists. They are very good at making sure they cover the area you pick with an authentic irish driver and guide.

“Dublin Hotel between airport and town”

We picked this hotel for our last night in Ireland, for it's proximity to the airport and car return. Also with in our budget. Took us less than 20 minutes on a Wed morning at 7:00AM to return our car. We were disappointed in the Pub at the hotel, very limited selection after 6:00 pm and priced high for the quality. Pub service was fine.
