Stayed here as part of a groupon deal, with my boyfriend. We were greeted at the train station by the manager who escorted us to the hotel. We had a lovely stay and everything was brilliant, good view, relaxing time just what we wanted. The only downfall was the following morning when we had breakfast we received 2 baskets of... More

Faultless - Sea-view room - Great breakfast with lots of choice - Great patio to sit out at night time - Good bar with great Guinness and Sky Sports -When we asked for lift to Donabate the manager put us into his Mercedes and drove us to to the Train Station.

You could not improve on the location of this hotel, stunning coastal views across to Irelands Eye, Howth and Lampay Island, right on the beach. A warm and personal welcome from all the staff, excellent food, well equipped and spotless rooms. Hard to find fault ! Definitely on the list to revisit. More

Stayed at the Waterside House Hotel to attend our son’s wedding. Arrived the night before, to a very warm welcome, defiantly 5* treatment. Breakfast was spot on, hot and delicious! (and to walk it off, a stroll down the beach was just what we needed) Wedding itself was very personal with that extra professional touch, after the ceremony, we went... More

We happened upon the Waterside House Hotel looking for a nice but airport-convenient place. The rates are very reasonable, even upgrading to a wonderful beachfront room. The staff, however, were fantastic. Although we arrived early (with tired and sick kids) and they were recovering from a big wedding the night before, they got us immediately into our rooms. They helped... More

This clean, professionally run establishment has the best location for an "airport hotel" in Dublin. I arrived from Toronto at 8:30 am and was promptly taken by free shuttle bus to the check in desk where Karen had arranged for me to go straight to my oceanfront room before enjoying a full Irish breakfast.
