My wife and I stayed at he Whitesands Hotel on Friday night, I have to say that the weather certainly helped make our stay one to remember. We were greeted by a lovely lady at reception who couldn't be more helpful. We weren't sure whether to eat in the hotel's restaurant or try another one in the town, but since... More

I am just home after a two night stay at the White Sands required,for work in Portmarnock. From the initial phone call to book the reservation, to the check out, the staff were excellent. No messing around with room rates, rooms, extras, etc. etc. The food in the Oasis bar was excellent, and fast to the table. All the Bar... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights. Its not far from Dublin airport and is great for travelling to surrounding areas. The room was very clean and comfortable. No noise disturbance at night. We ate and drank at the hotel which was good value for money with a friendly atmosphere.

Stayed for 3 nights and disagree with some of the comments made by some previous visitors. We stayed on the second floor and our room was okay. Bed linen was clean and room tidy and clean with fresh towels everyday. There were a few bits that would have improved the look, some quick repairs, lampshade not fitted properly and bit... More

On a weekend break to Dublin...We arrived at this hotel late friday night, it was easy to find and just what we needed. The reception staff were very quick, friendly and efficient. A very irish pub attached which was lovely and the service was good. The room and bathroom were in need of some modernising but for one night it... More

good points - excellent sea views and a friendly welcome there it ends. I was given room 201 next to the lift, which meant the room vibrated each time some used the lift. The room decor was dated but functional - underside of the bedspread had been slashed a few times and obvious signs of cigarette burns in furniture despite... More

We tried this place many times due to its location. It has nice views. We understand that its presently being rented out and no longer run by the owner. It is always difficult to get service in the bar because the staff disappear on a regular basis. Most are part-time with little or no experience. The food is only so-so,... More
