Lovely, friendly and well run Hotel
Posted Aug 17, 2017From the moment we arrived off a transatlantic flight; our room was ready "what a treat" this is not the first time My wife and I have stayed at The Portmarnock Hotel . The service, food, and the room "a sea view "was excellent, The pictures of the Beach does not do it justice it's beautiful.With the jet lag I was up at 4:00 AM wide awake walking the beach watching the sunrise and all the transatlantic flights coming in to land. Transportation is excellent and free car parking.Malahide village is just a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute bus ride. City centre 30 minute Dart train ride. Highly recommended this Hotel

Lovely hotel set in beautiful location
Posted Jul 14, 2017
Pros: Location, helpful staff and the lovely restful decor throughout
Cons: It may be helpful to have more small dining tables (seating for two people) for breakfast but no big problem - hotel busy during our stay
Location: Location just great - walks in hotel garden and beach. Loved Malahide and Howth nearby.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay at this hotel - staff were very welcoming and helpful - we loved all the refurbishment that has taken place and we would have no hesitation in recommending it highly to friends and family. Great choice - the sunny weather gave an added bonus!

Beautiful hotel within walking distance to beach
Posted Jul 6, 2017Rooms were great, and staff was superb. There were a few hiccups with getting our food in a timely manner, but the wait staff was very gracious in explaining the delays. The rooms were beautiful and clean, and the front desk clerk actually took the time to walk us to our room and explain the room features. There is a beautiful outside garden area, and a path that gives you direct access to the beach. It was a lovely hotel.

Pros: Everything
Cons: Would love an indoor pool and larger gym but there is the sea!
This is the second time we have stayed here and yet again it was a truly wonderful experience.
Great location by the beach
Hotel is beautifully appointed, rooms are large and clean modern bathrooms.
Staff very helpful and friendly
Nice on site restaurant or bar if you want a less informal setting
Can't wait to come back

Nice hotel and great location.
Posted Jun 28, 2017The only negative was much of the hotel does not have A/C and heat wave while we were at the hotel.

Nice hotel near the beach
Posted May 19, 2017
Pros: Location, standard of the room and cleanliness.
Cons: Change the Jameson lounge back to how seating was originally.
Location: There is a lovely sandy beach, with a lovely walk into Malahide where there is great food places, shopping and a castle.
Having stayed at this hotel previously we were unhappy with the changes to the drinking/dining area. In particular having to be seated when just wanting a sandwich. The menu did not have the price of the meal shown which was a concern. Overall the staff are very good but there is a lack of "Irishness"
