The hotel rooms are a bit dated but clean and comfortable. The location, dining and bar facilities and the staff more than make up for this. The food was excellent as was the service. Staff went out their way to make our stay an enjoyable one. Would highly recommend to anyone travelling to Dublin.

The hallway to room smelled and then when we opened our room door we were overwhelmed and sickened by the smell. It was sewage smell coming up through the drain in the bathroom. Spoke with the front desk and she spoke with the manager but they were completely booked so they couldn't move us to another room. They offered to refund us and help find another place to stay. We declined after driving a long ways to get to the beach front property. Was disappointing. We put towels over the drains and kept door closed and windows opened as much as possible. Location was lovely and beach was wonderful.

Great location, right on the beautiful beach, good places to walk. The sea view rooms are smaller than the others, we were told, so you may like to choose a non-sea view if you prefer a larger bed than double size. Good food at the restaurant in the evening with good gluten free and vegetarian options. The breakfast was also excellent. Only minor snag is that this hotel somehow had a software issue with the Expedia App, in that we couldn't find the booking or find notifications even thought Expedia confirmed via email and relayed that there was a message from the hotel. So I contacted the hotel directly and they were very helpful, confirming the booking etc.

Lifts were awkwardly placed. We needed to use the stairs. Noisy. The front desk staff weren’t very helpful. They were not available 24 hours as advertised. I needed to speak to someone overnight. When I went downstairs, there was no-one at the desk. When they were present, they were more focussed on laughing and joking between themselves than on the service of guests.

Nous avons eu un beau séjour,la place était incroyable,la plage magnifique Par contre,étant dans une période où il a fait un peu plus chaud qu’à l’habitude,nous avons eu une chambre qui était chaude comme un four. Nous avons demandé un ventilateur ça ne changeait rien. Nous avons ouvert la fenêtre durant la nuit et c’est ce qui a sauvé notre sommeil. Heureusement,il n’y a aucun moustique désagréable en juin! L’accueil impeccable Et que dire de l’eau de la mer d’Irlande,une des meilleures de ma Vie! (j’aime l’eau rafraîchissante)

The room was clean and well kept. Breakfast was absolutely 10 out of 10. Staff were so lovely and informative. We arrived late, so restaurant was closed but we were able to get a food delivery to the hotel. I needed a fan for my pregnant daughter and was given one immediately. The view from the hotel is just amazing. I would definitely stay here again. My only issue was there was no water in the room upon arrival.

We had an amazing trip. Unfortunately we encountered issues with the hot water in our room. The water was extremely hot and we were unable to take any showers. The maintenance tried to fix the problem on multiple occasions, but was unable to. The hotel staff was empathetic and offered us a shower in an empty room the night before we left. Gary took care of us, covered our breakfast and room on our last day. They drove us to the city to our hotel on our last day in Ireland. The staff made our trip very memorable, despite the issues we encountered. The hotel restaurant staff were ama zing and the food was exceptional. The outside waterfront patio was so refreshing. We will definitely return!

Excellent place to stay right no the beach. The staff were friendly and super helpful. The only con is the parking lot is a park and pay site so you sometimes have difficulty finding a park. You don't have to pay to park though.

We were flying out of Dublin from a week in Scotland and stayed the night at the Shoreline. The bed was really comfortable and even our bathroom had a view of the Irish Sea! Had a wonderful breakfast the next morning and the best Amaretto sour I've ever had at the bar, made by a young man but didn't catch his name. We had half of the day to spend before going to the airport but the manager let us store our things after check out which is noon so that was wonderful. Went for a walk along the coast and soaked up the sunshine and then the manager himself took us to the airport in the shuttle van. Great experience at this hotel and would definitely recommend and stay here again when we visit Ireland.

A quaint hotel in a very beautiful spot. This was a great location (close to the Dublin airport) to spend the first day of our trip after a long flight. The beach is beautiful for beach combing and the staff were very accommodating. The room was comfortable and listening to the ocean while falling asleep was a definite bonus. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This is an old hotel, on a nice walkable beach and the restaurant has good food. It is located a 15 minute drive to the Dublin airport, but there are other nicer hotels with about the same driving time to the airport. This was the second most expensive hotel we stayed in over our 8 days in Ireland, as we picked high-end hotels with parking and breakfast included. We only got free parking here, as the breakfast was not included, a surprise to us. There is no reason for it being so expensive, as our room and the wing where the rooms are located is old and needs repair. The toilet would not flush, the water in our shower was either cool or scalding, the bathroom door dragged on the floor, and our room overlooked a nearly full open dumpster. The window latch was broken, so the window was either fully open or closed. We were not able to get into our room when we got there 30 minutes early, and the receptionist was not friendly. The front desk often did not have anyone there, with people waiting. Would not stay here again. This was the 5th time overnighting at this hotel, the last was 6 years ago, sadly they have really let this hotel deteriorate.
