Liked: Staff & service
The room was a little pungent and I don’t know why as I had the windows always open. Could use a little TLC in the bathroom as the shower didn’t drain well and it was not sparkling clean (probably because it’s an old property). Front desk staff were very helpful especially as I had to get my key card reset every time I came back!

.We had a lovely 3 night stay in the Sands hotel. Spotlessly clean, warm friendly service, comfy beds. Breathtaking views of Lambay, Ireland's Eye and Howth Head. The Velvet Strand on your doorstep. Bus to Malahide leaves outside the door of the hotel. We will be back.

The hotel is dated and a bit musty and stuffy. Probably due to sea across the road. The bar and servers and food were great though!

Loved this hotel, it was quite far from the city center of Dublin but only about an hour public transportation. The coast around it was beautiful and the little town around it is so cute and fun to explore, there are two castles nearby to explore. There is also a sauna company on the property you can use for less than 20 euros. The staff were friendly and gave good recommendations. The pub in the hotel was also great.
