I was doing a four day intensive course at the nearby All Hallows Campus of Dublin City University. The hotel was perfect. Short walk. A grocer and restaurants. Griffith Park for early morning walks. Helpful staff and the convenience of a restaurant in the hotel. Recommended.
Favorite place to stay in Dublin. It is walkable to the Drumcondra neighborhood, right on the bus line to take you into city center and the airport. The staff are helpful and the stay is always comfortable.
Inside of property is nicely decorated and lobby has a good atmosphere. We were able to check in a couple of hours earlier than advertised which was very helpful. Our quad room was spacious but warm. It would probably be unbearable in the summer as there is no air conditioning and the window is very small and opens only slightly. A fan was provided which didn't work but this was resolved quickly with a call to housekeeping. On checking out you are able to leave your luggage if you have a late flight. The lobby menu is good we had cream scones and tea which was delicious. While we were sat in reception a customer who was not happy with their booking was speaking to the receptionist. Unfortunately she did not manage to appease the gentleman and his concerns. When the gentleman left the hotel the receptionist very loudly made some derogatory remarks about the couple to her colleagues which we thought was very unprofessional and did not suggest the hotel takes pride in their customer service. A shame because most of the other staff we came across were very polite and courteous.
This is our third visit to the Skylon and we still love to stay here while in Dublin. The staff are always incredibly helpful and friendly, especially the older doorman. Right on the bus line, it is very convenient to catching the bus into city center or up to the airport. The Cat & Cage pub a block away serves some of the best food in the city. There are amenities within walking distance and the closeness to the Botanic Gardens & Griffith Park make it such a pleasant visit. We consider the Skylon our Dublin home each time we visit.
Elevator was not working when we were there, so staff was very helpful to carry our bags for us, as well as validate our parking for free due to this inconvenience.
