Nice quiet location. Not far from shopping or restaurants. Excellent view of the water. Malahide is 5 minutes away by bus.

Great location. Wonderful restaurant and bar on site. Modern room. One caveat - bath tub and shower would be difficult to enter and exit for an older person or someone with a disabilty.

Beautiful location! Right across the road from the beach. Great walking trails. There is also an attached restaurant so you can get food. This is an older hotel, however it looked to be in good condition. Our room had been redone and was nice but the bed wasn't the greatest mattress. Check In and Out was smooth with a nice friendly woman. I would definitely stay there again because of the beautiful water views/trails.

Great pub with lots of locals and a good pint at a fare price. Food was good for lunch and dinner but the breakfast at $16 euros was just okay. Visit Jordan in the Pub great service. They are renovating the rooms on floor two so if you like to sleep in ask for another floor.

Overpriced for what the quality was. Was convenient area for the airport. Rooms were run down and bathroom was not super clean. Had a restaurant but priced for high for what was offered. Plus side was it’s open until the evening which most in the area are not.

Excellent staff who answered all questions, made recommendations, a d showed us the bus system. Rooms could have more ammenities like a microwave or minifridge. Bathrooms in rooms were awesome. The bar/restraunt attatched to the hotel is a great way to meet locals and get more information about the area. Very budget friendly and overall an amazing experience.
