The best hotel we stayed in while in Ireland! We stayed in the Hotel Mespil while in Dublin, and we made our way to the Killarney Hotel after visiting the Cliffs of Moher. Great, quaint little town with fabulous shopping and restaurants. However, when we returned to Dublin, we stayed in the Skylon and it was the best! Highly recommend!

Very nice hotel on the north side of Dublin and a short drive to the airport that avoids the traffic of the central city. We stayed one night before flying home. Lots of restaurants and a nice park for kids (Griffith) all walkable. Parking was very easy and the bar/restaurant was good for a relaxing nightcap.
