    It was at the end of town so more on the quiet side but easy walk to many places. Right across the street from the bay so very beautiful scenery. Extremely fresh seafood at the restaurant. Try the meringue dessert. You won’t be disappointed!

    The shower was a little broken. The water flow was weak. But we managed.

    The location was amazing, the food was great, and the room was very charming. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

    Perfect spot for Dublin

    It was very busy in the town when we arrived so it was difficult to find a spot. After a few laps we found one further down the road and once it calmed down we could move the car to just outside the hotel. Nothing the hotel can do about this it's just something that comes along with staying in a popular place. What was good is parking was free around the town.

    The location of the hotel was great, it's just outside of Dublin but within easy reach. Howth isn't a big place but there were plenty of pubs, shops and icecream along the harbour. I stayed in the oyster island room and the views from the floor to ceiling windows were amazing. The room was very spacious with a huge comfortable bed, and the bathroom was modern with a great walk in shower. The hotel and resturant were both clean and well kept. We were planning on going to Dublin via public transport and we were given great advice about the local dart train, 10 minutes walk down the road, and buses in Dublin. Everyone we spoke to in the hotel and resturant were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again if visiting the area.

    Our room was on the first floor, easily accessible, but people walked/parked right outside our window so a bit awkward. Room was small, but adequate, bathroom was very nice. . Unfortunately a wall right across the street hindered the view, but could see a little bit of the water above it. I would have like d some vegetables with my otherwise delicious, special dinner.

    Location was great at the edge of the water in Howth, walkable to the trails and cliff for hiking as well as harbor. Maybe a bit far from the castle, but nothing is really far there. We were walking but there are buses to get around. Great staff, breakfast was delicious with seafood options. Picturesque and lovely, with great sunrise/sunset view Attached restaurant is really good with local catch as a specialty.

    Staff were a bit abrupt. Felt like they were too busy to welcome us properly, practically throwing the keys for the room at us. On checking out we had a lot of luggage so a couple of trips had to be made to remove our stuff from our room. Walked past reception on our first trip and a staff member shouted on us to hand our keys in.

    Beautiful location right on the front overlooking the sea and close to all the amenities. Room was lovely. Very clean and spotless. We didn't have a view of the sea unfortunately, but didn't mind that.

    Beautiful, clean and tastefully decorated room with amazing views and the sound of the ocean. The staff at reception was very welcoming and provided us with all the information we needed. The seafood bar is a must for dinner. The breakfast was one of a kind, highly recommend the catch of the day and the home-made jams. Overall a wonderful and memorable experience.
