Rooms
However, several reviews highlighted significant issues, including outdated and poorly maintained rooms, lack of hot water and insufficient cleanliness.

The room conditions varied with some being spacious and clean, while others were small, stuffy and in dire need of renovation.
Overall, the hotel's proximity to the airport and basic amenities make it a convenient option for short stays, but potential guests should be prepared for inconsistencies in room quality and maintenance.

Beds
However, there are also several concerns. A recurring issue reported by guests is dirty or stained bed sheets, described as old and torn, which detracts significantly from the overall experience.

Additionally, several reviews noted that the beds were small and a few guests found them uncomfortable, firm or in poor condition with some beds described as sagging on one side.
Despite these discrepancies, many reviewers still found the beds adequate for a good night's sleep, emphasizing the importance of clean and comfortable bedding in enhancing their stay. The key takeaway is that while the comfort level of the beds at Skylon Airport Hotel can vary, there is a general trend towards positive feedback on their coziness, if only the issues of cleanliness and bed maintenance were consistently addressed.
