We stayed here for a family wedding and could not fault any aspect of the time we were there. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Food was excellent. Facilities, rooms and beds were top notch.
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...

My wife and I stayed at Clontarf Castle for a short visit before our flight out of Dublin, and it was a great experience. Choosing to stay in a castle rather than a typical hotel added a unique charm to our trip, and Clontarf Castle did not disappoint.
From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff made us feel incredibly welcome and even offered an upgrade to our room. Our room was beautiful, with a stunning view all the way to the harbour. The facilities met all our expectations, with good-quality food and a nicely equipped gym.
The location is fantastic – in Dublin city but only a 15-minute drive from the airport, making it convenient for travellers. I highly recommend Clontarf Castle for anyone looking to spend a few days in the area. It’s a memorable experience that goes beyond a standard hotel stay.
Just a short distance from Dublin Airport, this stylish Hilton hotel has a gym, bar, restaurant and air-conditioned rooms.

Welcoming atmosphere close to Dart stop, parking on the street
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.

Nice city few minutes away from Dublin's airport.
Nice city few minutes away from Dublin's airport. Some hidden beaches. Some good pubs to have a drink or eat like O'Connells. Great views of the sea.
The road can be steep, I recommend having a vehicule. Various accommodations like Glenn na Smol (B&B).

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 was an amazing man.... So friendly, chatty and helpful. We were in Howth for a funeral and he was able to help others with accommodation last minute. He went out his way to make this happen.... Couldn't have asked for a better host! With us; he made us feel very welcome and cooked a great breakfast for us.
The guest house is a typical Irish home.... He was happy to give details of the property's history. His home is clean, tidy and a classic Irish warren! I loved it.
Thank you Sean... So very much for your kindness.
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.
The room was clean with robes and even slippers. The room had beautiful views of the bay. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The breakfast was wonderful. The breakfast was very good. They even arranged a chauffeur on short notice for us. The beds were comfortable. The restaurant was very good. The hotel is located right on the bay. It is close to the Dart train station. Easy ride into Dublin. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Dublin.
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.
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!
Location was excellent. First visit to Howth & will be where we stay from now on instead of in Dublin City. Staff were helpful, knowledgable & courteous. Breakfast was included in the price, and was very enjoyable. We had dinner in their restaurant on Sunday evening, pre-booking advised. Mostly seafood but very good indeed.
Great location in a beautiful part of Howth, 20 min to Dublin city centre and 30 minutes to the airport. The house is lovely and Sean was a fantastic host and the nicest man with lots of knowledge about Ireland. About 5 minutes walking distance to the harbour where you can spot seals.
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.
Location fantastic, pretty village, easy to get into Dublin centre. Hosts very flexible on our arrival, considering our plane was delayed 3 hours and we arrived much later than intended. Clean, spacious apartment. Would recommend.
Superb Location. Clean comfortable quiet rooms. Excellent breakfast. Howth is a little gem, not to be missed when visiting Dublin. We really enjoyed the cliff walk, incredible views!
Situated in very picturesque Howth, overlooking the sea. Bed very comfortable, lovely modern clean room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast amazing!
