Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic and the staff were friendly, the rooms were disappointing due to noise and poor views, and the dining options left much to be desired.
I couldn't believe the value for money at €140 for such a fantastic stay. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, clean, and offered stunning sea views. The service was top-notch, always welcoming and accommodating. The location was splendid, right on the beach and close to the charming village of Malahide. However, the dining experience had room for improvement, but the facilities were overall great.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with practical bathrooms. While the prices could be more budget-friendly, the quiet atmosphere is ideal for a relaxing stay.
The hotel was not as clean as it should have been, and we got our room too late in the evening to enjoy it fully. However, it was located on the ground floor, which was convenient. The absence of a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine was a downside.
The hotel rooms were absolutely gorgeous and felt brand new, offering spacious and comfortable accommodations. However, the proximity to a staff office with a noisy self-closing door after every exit was a bit disruptive.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great, close to a lovely beach and a quick drive from the airport. The service was a bit uncomfortable during dinner, and the dining experience left much to be desired with long queues and delays. However, the staff were fantastic and the sea view was beautiful.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were exceptionally clean and lovely, offering comfortable bedding and adequate seating. The staff was polite and helpful, particularly the front desk and morning breakfast team. The location was fabulous, right by the beach and with modern decor. However, the dining options were limited, and the continental items were lacking. Despite some dining issues, the hotel offered excellent facilities and services.
Arriving back at the hotel, we had a bit of a wait to get our room key but were delighted to find a room with a lovely garden view, perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather. The hotel also offers a nice selection of whiskey and gin choices, which was a nice touch. However, the website could use some improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean and provided us with everything that we needed. It was quiet, but we had a minor issue with a defective window that could not open. The hotel's location near-and-above outside seating at the pub was convenient.
The hotel is ideally located with excellent staff, clean facilities, and a willingness to go the extra mile. The rooms were very comfortable, but we encountered some issues with an older room lacking certain facilities and cleanliness standards. Dining was a mixed experience with delicious options that lacked optimal temperature. Despite some service challenges, the overall location is fantastic with well-maintained grounds and beach access.
