Shoreline Hotel is situated on the beach in Donabate, County Dublin, just 15 minutes' drive from Dublin Airport and 25 minutes' drive from the city centre. Free Wi-Fi is available to all guests, and the hotel is surrounded by 4 beautiful golf courses.

Right at the beach! Super friendly staff! Jane at the front desk was so sweet and a joy to chat with. She gave great recommendations on where to go and what to see. Breakfast was great. Cute outdoor seating area for a glass of wine to enjoy or a cup of tea.

Bright and spacious, each room at the Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport includes crisp, cotton duvets and a modern private bathroom with fluffy towels and luxury toiletries. Guests can relax in the room with free tea and coffee, free WiFi and a TV.

Every member of staff I interacted with was genuinely friendly, helpful and a pleasure to be around. However, I would like to make a special mention of both Stephen and Aisling at reception; personal circumstances made this particular visit to Ireland a little stressful for me but both of them went above and beyond in their ability to give reassurance and help. I commend them strongly. I have travelled to many countries/stayed at many hotels in my time, and these two staff members were exceptional.

The Marine Hotel is a 5-minute walk from the beach and has rooms with views over Dublin Bay. It offers Cucinos, an authentic Italian restaurant, an indoor pool, sauna, meeting and banquet facilities and free parking. There is free WiFi access in all areas.

Breakfast was confusing because I stayed ten nights. I could see some work was needed, but I enjoyed breakfast. Location close to Howth but an accessible bus or train journey to Dublin centre and a short walk to train station and bus stops.

    The guest house is just ten minutes' walk from Malahide village and Malahide Castle. Plenty to do for the kids and bars in the evening for the adults. Malahide is about 30-40 minutes' drive or DART (light rail) from the Dublin city centre, so you get the best of both worlds. The guest house itself was clean and warm with friendly helpful staff. A great choice for families.

    The Grand is a local landmark in Malahide (my home town) and this is the second year I've stayed here for family visits at Christmas time. Rooms are well appointed spacious and the bed very comfortable, decent shower too! Reception on arrival was lovely and the bar and breakfast staff are great. Breakfast is superb, classic full Irish on offer and plenty of it. I'd describe the hotel as classic in it's style with comfortable communal areas.

    Location, facilities, room was spacious. it was quiet and the curtains are blackout so it allows for a good rest. Fast check-in and check-out. They had the room ready with baby cot. Breakfast was really nice and view from the restaurant is lovely. Good changing facilities for baby in the lobby area. Staff super friendly with families and helpful when asking for high chair etc.

    Everything was perfect. We came for a wedding, the staff at reception, very helpful, so much space with children , different areas in the hotel to chill, I would totally recommend., Breakfast in the very spacious restraunt where all the family could get together (we were at least 20 people ), I would definitely return if I'm ever back that way again. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so easy and relaxed.
