Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, although simple, were clean, but I found it a little cold as the heating wasn't working perfectly. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, making up for any minor flaws. The location was convenient, with easy access to the coast and Dublin. The dining experience offered tasty options but could use some improvement. The facilities were decent, and the price was reasonable.
The hotel's location is just fantastic, situated right on the coast with stunning sea views and near Dublin. While the rooms in the older part were a bit dated and hot, the service was amazing. The dining was pricey, and the breakfast options were not impressive. Overall, convenient and friendly.
I must say, my stay at this hotel was quite memorable. The rooms, though a bit small, were impeccably clean and offered a cozy respite. The service, despite some limitations the staff faced, was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The location was superb, overlooking the stunning Portmarnock beach, and the availability of ample car parking added to the convenience. On the downside, I felt the need for a better-class hotel next time, but the proximity to the Bay and Portmarnock Golf Club was a significant plus.
While the hotel could improve its room quality, the location is superb, offering stunning beach views and friendly staff. Though the dining options were limited, the price was reasonable and the service was commendable.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The ground floor room was comfortable and provided easy access to the outside, but the room service option was limited due to the small table with only one chair. The spacious room had all the necessary facilities, and the location worked well for us.
I was really disappointed with my stay. The rooms to the front directly onto the car park were not only old but also dirty, with stains on the curtains and cobwebs hanging down from the lamp. The room was nothing like the pictures shown, very small, obviously worn decor and fittings. The price did not match the quality I expected, making it quite disappointing.
