Stopped over night between flights. Easy check in check out. Good taxi service to and from. Room was Pachoud. Could have used AC or some kind of climat control in the room. Single desk fan was not enough to cool the room.

Just outside the city centre

If you are looking for a hotel just outside of the city city centre the Dublin Skylon is a great choice. The rooms a generous in size, very clean, comfortable beds and still very close to the city.

We had a lovely stay there and everything was very good. I would like to point out something that happened the morning after we checked out. We were outside the gate standing and a couple were walking down the sidewalk. A car was coming out of the hotel and did not stop and almost hit the lady of the couple only that they shouted and she banged on the bonnet of the car as she was right in front of it. A sign needs to be put inside the exit gate to watch out for pedestrians before someone gets hurt. I told them I would mention it in my review. They were very shook up after the incident. Another car exited right after that and did the same thing so it must happen regularly. They seems to be looking to see if traffic is coming from the right of them and pull out half way to get a view and forget about people walking.
