The room was clean and comfortable. Mostly we just wanted to sit and look out the window. Every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and helpful.

The hotel was very nice and our room was comfortable and clean. The location was gorgeous. Breakfast was included and had a large number of choices to suit all tastes. Malahide is a lovely town and very easy to walk around. If you wish to travel further, there are trains and busses to Dublin and other nearby towns.
White Sands is a deluxe, family-run hotel in the picturesque coastal village of Portmarnock in County Dublin. It offers a lively Irish pub and free Wi-Fi for all guests.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of ‘The Velvet Strand’, one of Ireland’s most stunning stretches of uninterrupted coastline - the historic Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links, once the family home...

Beautiful historical building in the midst of golf fields and nature! Amazing place to come with small kids as well - we’ve been playing outside all days! Good was good and super friendly staff! We also went for a nice walk to near by town called Malahide - some very good restaurants are there!
Howth is the place to stay when visiting Dublin. Just 30 minutes by train away from he city centre, it is a small but beautiful town on a penninsula surrounded with cliffs and seagull collonies. Many great pubs and restuarants, fantastic views and, contrary to Dublin - the calm and peaceful atmosphere where you can really relax.

I did not know what to expect as we booked last minute to go to a concert in Malahide. Howth is a beautiful seaside town with lots on offer (restaurants, bars, cafes etc...) We hope to return in the near future to spend more time there. Great for couples & families. A bit hilly in places so you need to have good mobility if you want to explore or stay slightly out of town. I visited a beautiful cove in the morning time where there were lots of swimmers in the sea & it was so peaceful...great way to start the day.

Location: This was the first time we were setting foot on Irish soil. King Sitric in Howth was the first place we headed to from Dublin Airport. No regrets! So much to see and do in Howth. Charming views in every direction. So much to take in.
Transport: A short taxi ride or walk to the train station. Buses stop less than 100m from the hotel. I think one even passes right in front of the hotel.
People: The Irish are the best. Everywhere, they seem to be so welcoming and genuine.
Hotel and Rooms: Interesting history. It should be promoted more. Pleasant and friendly staff. Our room was steps from the ocean. What a lovely welcome to a lovely country. The room had nice little touches. Loved the in-room Nespresso & chocs. Nice hot showers.
Food: Amazingly fresh seafood in the restaurant downstairs for dinner (apparently caught by local fisherman in the sea right outside our room) and upstairs for guests' breakfasts; the menu items were well-chosen. Fish is also an option for breakfast! Found it strange though that so little bread is given, as there's so much rich and flavourful sauce to lap up. We even paid for more bread, but again it was just one tiny slice of bread. Maybe it's an Irish thing?
Pricing: We found Ireland in general to be very expensive, from hotels to food to shopping.

Cliff walk, buzz of day trippers, cafes and restaurants.
Cliff walk, buzz of day trippers, cafes and restaurants. Everything well maintained. Initially had trouble getting a pre dinner drink as most bars.taverns are booking their tables for diners. We were put out in the cold in O'Connells! Finally hit on The Harbour Bar which was lovely.

All the pubs serve the same type food ...very dated - fish and chips all that beautiful fish in batter...such a shame - there would need to be more variety without having to avail of fine dining. The food offerings do seem to be stuck in a time zone, needs to be more vegetarian, vegan etc....
However, Howth is beautiful and well worth a stay.
The owner was so kind and caring. The location was amazing! Close to the cliff trail. Enjoyed the fresh sea air. The decor of King Sitric is so beautiful. The beds were extremely comfortable. The room is well equipped with coffee, tea, hot chocolate and toiletries. Shower with plenty of power and hot water. Make time to have the yummy breakfast in the hotel dining area over looking the ocean. Also their restaurant food was amazing. It is a short walk from the train station through beautiful Howth village. Everyone is so friendly their.
Sean, the owner, is a true gem. Salt of the earth—kind, helpful, generous—he was a joy to meet and took fantastic care of us. We arrived very early-long before check in-and he cooked us up an amazing full Irish breakfast before we headed out on a hike while our room was being prepared. I would recommend his place to anyone traveling to Howth. Another reviewer summed it up well—it’s like staying at your favorite uncle’s home while on vacation. We felt like he was an old familiar friend within minutes of meeting him.
Engaging, friendly staff in both the hotel and the restaurant. The management team went out of their way to help me. The room had all amenities, including a box of delightful chocolates. The location is perfect, right across from the water and on the main street, close to everything. The driver, James, is the best. He picked me up form the airport and provided local history on the ride to Howth. Highly recommend the hotel and the restaurant.
Everything about King Sitric was amazing! The Hotel itself was beautiful, clean, so comfortable and everything you needed was there. We stayed on the 1st Floor and had the most amazing view of the sea. Great menu for breakfast and dinner and service for both was exceptional. We had dinner on the terrace and again food was top class.
We had the loveliest time at Gleann Na Smol! Our host was a delight/ His welcoming hospitality went over and beyond our expectations. The breakfasts were fabulous, the conversations were a joy, and the added time he spent with us assisting us with the are was extremely kind. If we return to Howth, we will certainly stay here again!
This hotel is a hidden gem of Ireland. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful.The room was very comfortable. We opened the window and slept very well with the sounds of the sea. Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. There are many things to see near the hotel. We wished we had stayed more than one night.
The location, altought outside Dublin is very good with different transports (bus and dart). Howth is a nice village to visit also. The host provided with all the information since we arrived very late in the evening. I would recommend the stay :)
But of a tardis, looked small from outside but tons of space. Properly comfortable and stylishly decorated. Perfect location for us, right near the harbour with all its bars and restaurants, short walk to the DART for access to Dublin centre.
Perfect location facing the ocean and easy walk to all restaurants and stores in Howth. We watched a sunset on the pier and sunrise from our room. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Clean and efficient room.
Excellent position with sea and harbour views. Clean and comfortable room. Super seafood restaurant. Breakfast excellent, fresh food and homemade bread and jams. Very welcoming and friendly, helpful staff.
I was made feel like I was very much at home. Sean is a great host and storyteller. Excellent location in the beautiful Howth. Brilliant breakfast included. Comfortable TV room.
Beautiful setting, cosy family-run hotel with friendly staff. Great seafood restaurant for dinner and fantastic breakfast. Would recommend top floor rooms for the view
very convenient location. Full access to the facilities and common areas, including the kitchen. wonderful host. would stay here again for a short getaway to Howth.
Great location, minutes to the Howth cliff walk, and walking distance to the harbor downtown. The host was friendly and pleasant.
It worked for a one night stay.
Sean and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. Full Irish breakfast is tasty . The house is located in a quiet area and is nice and warm. Great Wifi.
