Shoreline means right beside the beach!
Hotel is in a great location. Our room had fabulous views. Room was a good size. Service was very good both at reception and at dinner.

The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect. Literally on the shores of the Atlantic with miles of beach to walk. Loved hearing the waves going to sleep. The hotel is in need of a facelift, but we loved being there. The dining room was lovely. Had a very old world feel to it.

One night in perfect room facing the Irish Sea
The best thing about this hotel is its location. It is worth spending a bit more for a sea facing view. It is superb! Service good and food plentiful and tasty If one was very fussy room could do with a bit more work but this is reflected in the price

Excellent stay
Hospitality above par! I have stayed in many hotels in the world and the service, the location, the staff are excellent. Nothing was too small, they offered advice of local places to visit, help with taxis, and the smiles. The room was so much bigger than I expected, and the bed very comfortable. Lovely touch of the dark coloured flannel to wash your face - because make up can ruin white towels. Loved that. Ample supply of towels, toiletries and toilet paper. Comfy bath robes and slippers. And the breakfast is excellent. I would recommended the pancakes with berries. Last of all, the views. The sunrises are spectacular at Donabate.

This property is somewhat dated but clean and the staff are great. Wonderful access to the beach for a stroll. The bathroom sink had been repaired (cracked and an eyesore) but could have been replaced which would have been much better.

We chose this hotel because it was close to the airport but far enough away to be enjoyable. We were very pleased with the property. It's right on the beach so a beautiful location. It has plenty of parking and it was easy to drive to. The desk agent was adorable and she was so very helpful. She offered to book a table for us for dinner and she arranged to have some breakfast items available for us since we needed to leave before their breakfast service. Our room was clean and modern and quite spacious. We had one large bed and a twin size bed. The bathroom was very modern and well lit. We enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant and a short walk by the beach. We needed to leave early for our flight but there were several breakfast options available just as the desk agent promised. Our drive to the airport was about 25 minutes. If you are looking for something near the airport but not AT the airport, you might consider this property. We would definitely stay again.

GOOD VALUE, Close to the Airport.
Good value, service in the restaurant a bit slow- perhaps understaffed? Rooms are clean, some with pleasing sea views, and the walls, though not soundproof, are not as thin as some of this type and age. No hot water in the shower at 8am suggests that the HWS needs an upgrade! But as I said, all in all good value.

Need improvement on rooms facing the mobile homes
The location is great if you like near the sea. Restaurant staff are great. The room need a lot of work and need renovation especially if you get the room facing the mobile homes park. Seaview facing rooms are probably new.

Lovely location and getaway but not modern
Lovely staff, very helpful. Hotel is not modern. It's had a cosmetic makeover but walls are thin and bathrooms have clearly had years of use. Location is beautiful with the beach walk and restaurant had everything we could need so ended up spending most of the time just relaxing in the hotel or by the beach outside.

Beautiful Location, but a good 25 minutes from Dublin., Although, train access to Dublin, expensive by Taxi. Short staffed at this hotel because of off season, but the staff there was very helpful, especially a young lady named Jen. Great price at this hotel, versus hotels in Dublin City. Great beach front location for swimmers and kid and dog friendly.

This hotel is beautiful situated at the beach and very quiet. The staff are great, and the food is really, really, good. However, management needs to get its act together. It was supposed to have an airport shuttle but doesn't. So, we had to get taxis to and from the airport, effectively adding E.63 to the cost of staying there. Not okay. Management appears to be ignoring this problem for overseas visitors. If you are not going to provide a shuttle, then don't say you do - it's deceitful. The room was freezing. Stephen managed to get the second radiator working, but it only worked for a short time, and the room never really got that warm. Seems like the heating is timed. And the shower was tepid in the evening. Again seemed to be on a timer because it was a bit warmer in the morning but not by much.
