Refused to change my booking dates.
I was really disappointed with this hotel. I’ve stayed here a few times before and was looking forward to my stay. Unfortunately due to the weather my ferry was cancelled and I had to reschedule my trip to the new year. The hotel refused to move my booking and charged me the full price. Not good customer service.

Excellent hotel
My family stayed recently and have already booked to return next week. The hotel must have undergone a remodel, as though it retains its old world charm it had many modern conveniences. The family room was a proper family room as opposed to other places we have stayed and the price was very reasonable. It had 3 beds, a mini fridge and an excellent shower/bath. Drumcondra is a lovely, safe neighborhood with loads of walking distance choices for food and drinks. It's a short 20 minute bus ride straight into town and on the main road to and from the airport, with onsite parking. The staff were lovely and the bar fun. It was a truly exceptional stay. Being an expat myself, USA travelers would greatly enjoy this hotel and the neighborhood.

Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay. Located next to restaurants and pubs. The bus system was easy to figure out. The staff were friendly and helpful. If you do not want to be in the tourist zone or heart of the city this is a great place to stay. Also, it is right next to DCU.

Our room stay in the Skylon was as usual very good. One problem was on our first morning Thursday there was dreadful noise outside our room. My husband checked and found workmen going to do work just outside our window. I went to reception to see if they could do anything for us they were extremely helpful and moved us straight away.

Our Go-to Place
This is our go- to hotel when we're visiting Dublin - easy access off the M50, really comfortable rooms and public spaces, friendly helpful staff and decent restaurant menu. So good at getting you a taxi quickly.
