Great location Extremely friendly staff Bar and reception Great value Will be back
Staff and food were very good. The room lacked investment, needs a refresh.
Very friendly staff, particularly Kim who served breakfast and goes the extra mile.Rom a bit dated but serviceable. Good shower
Had a very enjoyable experience in White Sands. Lovely friendly staff. Nice bedroom and very comfortable bed. Cosy and relaxing for food and drink. Lovely mix of locals and tourists there. Situated in a fabulous area overlooking Portmarnock beach.
The room was ok, clean & basic. The bar & waiting staff were some of the best we have come across.
Although our room and bathroom could do with some updating it was comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and breakfast was lovely and freshly cooked. Overall it was great value.
Great location Pleasant staff Great value Will be back
Lovely location Friendly Staff Very reasonably priced
We have stayed at White Sands on several occasions. The staff are always couteous and friendly, food is excellent and it's proximity to Dublin City and the Dart are first class. The adjacentof Portmarnock, Malahide and Howth are within a short distance and offer a welcome change from the bustle of the City.
Great hotel and nice location
Good hotel with decent food. Staff are lovely. We have stayed here 3/4 times this year so far. Extra bonus is the great view of the sea.
Very pleased with reception staff and breakfast staff. Room very clean and comfortable, with veranda. Thanks to ALL. Love to come again, vera
Hotel is dated but clean Staff were lovely. Breakfast was good. Excellent location
Lovely staff, clean nice rooms. The only complaint we have is that there was no food served after 8pm on Sunday of a Bank Holiday weekend with hotel full with guests and no restaurants a walking distance from the hotel
The hotel looks quite dated from the outside and but inside it is extremely clean and the customer service is excellent!!! Would definitely stay again!
Friendly helpful staff , good location for beach & walking. Weather was lovely. Lovely breakfast to order.???? Our room maybe a bit of update .
Great hotel, wonderful staff, fantastic atmosphere and an amazing location ???? ???? ????
Location is fantastic, looking out on Portmarnock beach! Clean basic room! Toilet a bit too close to radiator. Hallways and rooms bright. Pleasant staff, good breakfast served to your table in a nice little dining area! A short bus ride into Malahide which is a lovely town with a train/dart station, if you want to go further afield. Enjoyable stay, good value, will return!
Location for hotel is perfect, beach on your doorstep and bus stop two mins away to take you to the city centre. Lovely bar area, plenty of options. Best breakfast I’ve had in a hotel. Staff are lovely too. Rooms aren’t huge and could do with an upgrade but has everything you need.
I booked this hotel last minute based on its price for one night B and B. It was excellent value for money. As I expected, my room was at the back and was one which had not been updated; but the bathroom was done up and was lovely. I actually really liked the room despite its dated and worn interior because it was spotless and actually had everything I needed. I have stayed in expensive trendy "boutique" hotels where the lighting was totally inadequate etc but this room had all essentials. Now, the one thing that surprised me was the bed. It had definitely seen better days- a thin mattress and average comfort. Breakfast was nice and all staff were lovely. It was good weather when I was there and the beach is just across the road. Perfect. What a pity we do not have more of this type of accommodation in Dublin.
Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious, compliments to the chef. Bedlinen and towels spotless. A lovely stay. Thank you Bridget Malone
Although the dinner menu was quite extensive, when we arrived for dinner at 7pm on a Sunday, we were told 5 of the top choices were no longer available. This left a very limited selection to choose from. I had to choose fish as a Sunday dinner and my wife a chicken salad. In fairness they were quite decent. I ordered drinks on a number of occasions but twice it was forgotten about and I had to return to the bar. Otherwise the hotel itself was very clean and comfortable, if a little dated. Staff were very friendly. I would return as the value for money was very good.
Nice friendly staff. Needs a good make over. Food Lovely. Good parking. Only problem was in welcome book had breakfast in Mad Fish restaurant, after a wait to see staff in restaurant I went to main reception to be told breakfast be served in bar area as this has been changed for years, the man on reception did apologise. But definitely need to update this in the welcome pack. Also would be nice to be offered a coffee pot at breakfast as had to keep asking for refill. Staff were quite busy.
I had a lovely stay at the White Sands, the staff were so friendly, super accomodating to the needs of myself and my mum, provided a delicious breakfast and fantastic support for the duration of our stay! Lovely people and fantastic location!
3rd time this year Great location Lovely and friendly staff Great value Will be back
Staff very friendly. Beautiful view. Asked for quiet room which was provided
Very impressive !! Staff very friendly !! Food so lovely !! I can honestly say best ever fish in batter I got !! Breakfast cooked from kitchen lovely !! I’m going to try going back to the hotel again this year !!!

Very good location, beautiful beach on your doorstep, and a short bus journey to Malahide..great breakfast made to order compliments to Chef...staff on reception very helpful...room quiet comfortable and cosy in the newer part of the Hotel
Lovely staff check in very quick Great breakfast We ate one evening in hotel couldn’t fault anything that we got Thanks
Fantastic hotel friendly staff a beautiful location
Amazing hotel We were given an amazing room number 119 The man that booked us in didn't get his name was amazing at his job and super friendly Definitely return
Comfortable bed and bedrooms with good heating. Lively evening bar with good service. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean facilities. Excellent location next to long beach. Very good value for money. Breakfast was basic and a bit uninspired (no museli option, oranges only fruit offered, no sodabread, bacon oversold as 'thick', tomatoes undercooked, no flavouring in the mushrooms, scrambled egg grainy and lacking any real taste). A bit of imagination in the kitchen could bring the breakfast up a notch fairly cheaply. Nice to have the pastry and yogurt option.
Great location Great prices Great staff very friendly Will be back
Lovely clean hotel lovely staff
We had nice comfortable room 201, with double and single beds, also sea view! Heating did not work the first night very well but the staff tried to help. Next days were fine. Breakfast was very good and well served and not expensive - 13.50€ for non residents. The hotel bar is comfortable for drink before bedtime. The best thing about this hotel - definitely the staff - pleasant, interactive and customer focused!
What a amazing night away staff were amazing food drinks everything from start to finish was amazing thanks so much will be back very soon ??
While this hotel looks rundown on the outside and could do with a bit of TLC in lots of places, we had a lovely stay. Room lovely and quiet. Beds comfy, food fab and its perfectly located on the beach. Staff very friendly. Would go back anytime.
All staff very friendly and obliging. Great location
Not overly modern but real comfortable and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. Beautiful views and a lovely little bar we had a great night in. Food is top notch. Honestly have nothing bad to say at all. Thanks for a great mini break away.
Nice room, good location for our purpose. Great view. Nice breakfast. Pleasant staff
The food was overpriced extremely small portions we were still staving after the food ended up getting a take after .the staff in the restaurant wasn't nice at all .we went for my fella birthday wish I had of booked somewhere eles I would not advise anyone to go here to stay and eat second time this happened won't be booking ever again
Really enjoyed our stay. Room was spotless. Breakfast was lovely could have been a bit more choice for vegetarians. Will definitely stay again
Reception staff where brilliant Dinner was lovely Breakfast was the only let down no fresh fruit and when I ask could they do an omelette it was a firm no in not so friendly voice. Room was clean and tidy and beds were comfortable Nice place to stay and would go back.
We stayed here a few times basic rooms but clean and tidy.friendly staff. We came across a few hairs in our breakfast witch was very off putting when I brought it to servers attention she just said she would let the chef know.wasent really acceptable if I do say so we just didnt want any confrontation either after our night away. We had a lovely stay other than this and would return.
This Hotel has a lovely friendly atmosphere and staff to match Christmas decorations were beautifully done. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order and was very nice .Food and beverages very keenly priced...well done everyone hope to return soon
Staff were amazing so friendly. Great atmosphere in the bar and restaurant. Amazing scenery
Great little hotel
5th time this year Great value Lovely staff Will be back
A slightly dated room but we had a nice sea view and the room was very clean and spacious enough. All staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fine although some may find the evening food and drink in the bar slightly limited in choice. I will definitely book again.
Hotel room was clean and comfortable, no issues. Breakfast was plentiful & the bar area was cosy. Great location across from the beach.
Wonderful hotel staff were amazing polite and friendly and very helpful room was excellent and spotless clean and the bed was very comfortable definitely recommend this hotel and will definitely be going back soon
Lovely place to stay, receptionist was very friendly and helpful when we checked in. I had booked to stay a further 2 nights and she was very accommodating, saying we could stop in the same room. She was there the next morning and sorted it all out. Thankyou.
Large spacious rooms, great breakfast, helpful receptionist, good value for money, would go back again
Lovely friendly staff, fab location. Quiet rooms. Good music in Bar Sunday night. Will be back.
very nice hotel ,close to beach,
Lovely hotel and great bar really homely welcome. Food was fab especially the breakfast. All of the staff in the bar were lovely and very helpful. Lovely view of the beach outside the hotel. We will be back for another visit.
We enjoyed our time at this hotel, beautiful beach across the road, very comfortable bed, lovely room, good food, friendly staff and a great bus service.
Lovely hotel staff very friendly especially the receptionist she was very helpful.
Room nice and clean, bathroom awful... breakfast not great...
Second stay here this summer. Nice hotel. Rooms comfortable if a bit dated. Very friendly staff. Will go again.
Lovely food & comfy beds but backyard view was disappointing, picked hotel because of sea location plus a disco til late wasn't helpful to a restful break before an appointment early on Saturday. Receptionist was very helpful.
Great location Great prices Friendly staff 4th time this year to stay
White Sands hotel is a great location for those who enjoy walks along the beautiful very long sandy beach of Portmarnock and also there is a lovely safe coastal walk to Malahide from White sands hotel Portmarnock. We found the staff most helpful and breakfast was very tasty.
Gorgeous, charming & clean hotel with spectacular sea views! All staff were kind & friendly, and so attentive when we dined in the adjoining restaurant that night Breakfast was also delicious Can’t reccomend enough
Very helpful staff
Very friendly and helpful staff.. Great breakfast.
Nice hotel, bit dated but perfectly adequate and clean. The location is great and the staff were very friendly. We were there on a Sunday so only the carvery dinner was on offer. Will go back again during the week to check out the bar food. We will be back for an other stay soon as well.
Lovely stay with a love breakfast and helpful staff!
Breakfast was lovely bed was comfy view from hotel is fantastic reception staff very friendly and bar and restaurant staff very friendly my wife and I enjoyed ourselves. John.
Great staff Great location Great prices Will be back
Fabulous location, delicious breakfast and very pleasant staff. The hotel is old and hasn’t been updated but was spotlessly clean. Will definitely stay again
Great value. Lovely hot breakfast. Beautiful setting!
Lovely staff
This Hotel offers exceptional value for money. This the second time we have stayed there and it's proximity to the airport is good when awaiting relatives to arrive. It is also handy for visiting the city via the Luas as carparking is available at the stations. We will certainly stay there again and again when the need arises.
We spent few days recently at this lovely hotel beautiful views great room on ground level ..No fridge in room no aircon as it was extremely warm ..Breakfast very good bar lovely little expensive but worth it for night or 2 as we travelled around we ate out 1 evenings .Public transport few steps away if was tour around Howth Malahide city centre . Hotel old needs little TLC otherwise its perfect for views especially. Reception staff might need little course in cluster service one ladies lvly friendly smiling other s not to much ..As we travel Lot definitely like see nice reception staff it's so important for hotel ...We had lvly stay definitely go back again ...
Great location on the sea front. Friendly staff. Delicious meals. Excellent value.
Nice clean hotel very good value The bar food is pub grub fairly priced Breakfast very nice good size portion friendly atmosphere Superb location great size parking Bit dusty with the lose gravel Enjoy the stay!
Beautiful food at reasonable prices, I stay in hotels regularly and while the white sands is slightly dated, it is incredible value for money and the breakfast is fabulous.
We were treated so well. Staff could not do enough. Room was huge & beautiful. Will be making it a regular. Just a nice break away by the sea. Sean the manager fantastic guy. Thanks again forq
Wonderful location Friendly staff Great value Will be back soon Sean on desk most helpful
Great view. Friendly staff
Very friendly staff also great value for money Great location
The hotel was centrally located & within walking distance to the beach. The Receptionist was very friendly & welcoming. The room was clean, but no netted blind & curtains were hanging from the railing, which wasn't a good 1st impression. Breakfast was lovely & the waiting staff were lovely & very attentive.
staff so friendly & welcoming, great location
We had a lovely time at the White sands hotel .We found all the staff to be very nice and helpful. Thanks, rooms were on the small side but we had a lovely view out over the sea .
Clean and friendly. Great breakfast
Good food, breakfast and dinner, friendly staff. Rooms need refurbished little run down.
Good food, breakfast and dinner, friendly staff. Rooms need refurbished little run down.
A lovely stay with a nice view,staff lovely..however the room was cosy but very dated,curtain hanging off the rail when we arrived but my partner fixed,Tables thick with dust and definitely not cleaned in a long time..No room service,It definitely a hotel that needs abit of Tlc as in a fab location and one of our favourite spots to walk.
Very friendly, clean, good location
This hotel has a lovely sea view, but the windows are small.I think it would benefit from balconies and sliding doors.The receptionist was very friendly and accommodating.Breakfast doesn't start until 8sm.She left sandwich ect for us .Why doesn't breakfast start at 7am like everywhere else?
Had a nice stay! Fantastic location right by the amazing beach in Portmarnock, but the hotel needs a major revamp but that’s reflected in the price! Had mentioned when booking that a sea view would be nice so it was lovely to get it????The toilet was a bit too close to the radiator, luckily it wasn’t on, it could have been nasty???? There was a carvery until 6.50 on Sunday, the restaurant was closed due to staffing issues, had stayed last year and it had been quite good so that was disappointing! Nevertheless had a lovely breakfast freshly cooked, so well done to the chef and served by two very pleasant and professional young waitresses! A good base and will probably return!
Hotel staff were excellent bar & dining also excellent. Room was small & dated but car parked directly outside window on yellow line spoiled the view and blind had to be closed to get privacy there was a car parked directly outside window for entire stay.
A lovely quaint family hotel in a superb location right across the road from portmarnock beach. A comfy atmosphere and friendly, pleasant staff. Breakfast was served quietly and with a smile ???? The bar has great character and atmosphere and we even got a sing song on one of the nights! ???????????? Loved it and a big thank you to Lorraine and all the helpful staff! ????????????????????????
We were informed on arrival that the hotel had no chef for the duration of our stay . We had to dine out each night which was inconvenient and expensive . The room was small and cramped due partly to heavy , dark , ancient and tired- looking furniture . The en suite bathroom was also cramped , so much so that the toilet was placed so close to the radiator that using it would be unpleasant , if not dangerous in winter when the radiator was on . Coffee and tea provided but paper cups !! Really ! Staff were pleasant and helpful .
Excellent night away in tye white sands room was basic but nice and clean good value for money great atmosphere in the bar we had a beautiful meal and breakfast was also lovely will definitely be back and we recommend this hotel
This was our second time staying with White Sands. Fantastic location. Staff friendly & welcoming. Only one issue was with breakfast on the second morning. One breakfast to table…then ten mins before second plate delivered and another ten before third delivered. Fourth breakfast was even longer and other three were finished despite two plates returned to kitchen as bacon was not cooked. In the third morning wrong breakfast arrived at table. Asked staff member for milk but it never arrived. Noticed other guests having similar issues and like ourselves retrieved requested items from other tables. Despite all these minor issues, staff were all courteous & pleasant. So we will be back.
We enjoyed it, staff nice, breakfast good.
Rooms very very dated mould in bathroom missing wall plugs was in a great location food was nice
Great stuff and very relaxing
Lovely hotel to stay in,staff were really nice and friendly ????
Lovely hotel excellent location beside the sea for a family holiday. Convenient location to Dublin, Malahide and other destinations. Only downside was the service at breakfast. Having to ask for items that should have been provided ie. Side plates, tea, no hot food order taken had to ask to order. However once highlighted to the waiting staff attention was paid to the table and our needs. Despite this, would return again due to pleasant hotel, lovely views and convenient location to sea and surrounding areas.
lovely hotel on a beautiful location,lovely staff and very helpful,our first time staying and we were very happy with it and very good value
Staff were friendly.. Food served in the carvery was awful, waste of our money as we ate none of it.. had asked about just getting a sandwich, was told flat no.. would have been good to be told about the sandwich truck on the premises! We had to go into town to eat which was annoying as we had planned to stay at the hotel for the day.. The room was very small, bed not appropriate size for two adults.. Way too much dated & unnecessary furniture in the room, four lamps!! Bathroom functional but in need of a major overhaul.. Over all location was the positive….
Lovely hotel. Had a great night would definitely return.
Nice hotel with beautiful views over the coastline. Spacious well furnished room was very welcome. However disappointment of stay was what appeared to be rather disorganized breakfast arrangements and service, with items on the table menu already unavailable by 08-30 on both mornings.
Very nice place and friendly staff. Also reasonably priced food and drink
Overall the hotel was clean but there were cobwebs in around the window of the bedroom. We ordered scrambled egg with our breakfast but got fried eggs.
Lovely staff, room was small but comfortable and the breakfast was served to the table.
Great place to stay for a weekend break
Very helpful friendly staff, lovely food 10/10
very friendly hotel staff nice room looking out to see very clean and the breakfast was good.you have a good selection for breakfast and it was warm with pleasant staff serving you
Food was loveky service was good . Would have liked fresh fruit at breakfast , bathroom ceiling had mould stains and over all look of interior of hotel could do with an upgrade
No problems experienced
Loved the proximity to the sea. Able to take walks on the beach at sunset and sunrise. Ladies on reception were so friendly and moved us to a seaview room on request without extra charge.
Overall a pleasant stay! Rooms basic but clean. Bathroom probably in need of an upgrade! Guests should be advised about the bag being left on your door in the morning with clean towels, toilet rolls etc. hadn’t experienced that before and thought the housekeeping staff were setting themselves up for when you went out, you need to take in the bag! Breakfast and evening meal, good! Friendly staff in bar and restaurant, some reception staff could do with a little more Umph!!! Fantastic location! Great value! Some people look for too many faults, but we would definitely come back!
Have stayed here a few times as love that the hotel is across from a lovely beach. The staff are friendly and I was given a room with a sea view as requested. The room was small and this was probably due to the furniture been too big for the room. I could not walk past the end of the bed to get to the window with having to turn sideways to get by. Breakfast was not great was waiting 35 min for our breakfast and it was not overly hit when we got it. I asked for toasted brown bread 3 times and never got it. I think they should block that you can hear into the kitchen as raided voices could be heard from the staff. It's a nice hotel if you want to be close to the sea.
Asked for an upgrade as it was our anniversary and was given it and it was lovely. Sea view, balcony and jacuzzi in bathroom perfect night. Thank you Sands Hotel ??
Very friendly staff disappointed there was no food other than breakfast as we had no other choice than to go out.
Great location, very pleasant staff, good food and drink.
Great location, very pleasant staff, good food and drink.
Lovely room nice restaurant although very busy staff good
Very nice hotel. Reasonably priced for an overnight stay included breakfast for 2. Breakfast was fabulous. Hotel is right across from the beach, so we were able to enjoy a lovely autumnal beach walk. Great music in the bar.
Lovely staff, really good breakfast and nice food in he bar. we had a nice big bedroom in the new section but it did smell that it hadnt been used or heated in a while apart from that everything was really good, was in another room in old part of hotel and lovely warm room . would stay again location and views are lovely from from of hotel, ask for a sea facing room, unfortunately mine wasn't.
Stayed one night in this hotel , staff were friendly and helpful, food was good and room was comfortable and had a great view of the Portmarnock strand . I would recommend this hotel and would stay again.
Lovely hotel, staff very helpful. Great price with Lidl breaks. We had a sea view & ate in the bar. The meal was excellent. Would definately stay here again
Stayed here for two nights ,Hotel is in need of some TLC Eg new carpets but we had a lovely quiet room with Sea view and it had all the comforts we needed. We ate in the Hotel Restaurant on the first night which was very good .Hotel staff were very helpful and we would stay again .Good Dart links into Dublin centre
Enjoyed our stay, Staff and Management went out of their way to help, Will definitely stay again thanks Michael Mc Donnell
Lovey friendly staff. Great location. Free into the nite club to break some moves.
we enjoyed our stay staff very friendly and helpful food and service in oasis bar excellent stayed 07.09.2014-08.09.2014 excellent weather and lovely beach added to the visit as well as the lovely views of lambay island irelands Eye and Howth with a beautiful harvest moon over the sea at night. WE WILL BE BACK.
I booked this hotel for my son and his new wife. He was so disgusted with the run-down exterior of the hotel, the cramped bedroom that felt like a prison cell and the faded bed lined he refused to stay and cancelled the booking. Very disapointing. Zero rating. The receptionist was nice. Noreen Meyler
we found the hotel to be a very nice hotel but have one gripe. we booked a weekend stay in a double room to celebrate my 40th a have time away from the kids one of which still sleeps in our bed but when we checked in we did get a double room but 2 single beds pushed together with 2 single mattresses not attached so they kept seperating if we tried to cuddle even. not what we were expecting and genuinely the only problem we had. the staff were very pleasant and professional and the hotel itself was very clean. all in all a nice weekend apart from the bed situation
I really enjoyed my stay in Sands hotel. It's a lovely hotel, very clean and cosy with friendly staff. The hotel bar is really nice and relaxing and breakfast next morning was very tasty. I would stay in this hotel again, it's in a great location and Lidl Breaks offer great value for money
The hotel room was very modern, clean and tidy. I didn't like the fact that the meal which I thought was going to be in the hotel restaurant was in fact, similar to pub grub in their bar. Due to the lack of staff, it was approximately 30 minutes before we received the menus after being seated. The meal itself was average. Although the bar was by no means busy, approximately 20-30 patrons, it still took 5 minutes to be served by staff who couldn't care less. The fire alarm sounded twice during the night without reason or explanation. The breakfast the following morning was also average with a poor selection of cold meats and cheeses for a continental breakfast. Again, lack of staff. Two latex gloves covered two smoke detectors in the restaurant which sums up this hotel, nobody cares! I would never set foot in this hotel again after our experience here. What was supposed to be a romantic, relaxing break, especially for my wife, ended up being a nightmare. As hotel breaks go, it wasn't expensive but thats not the point, it still will take me sometime to pay it off my credit card. I couldn't recommend this hotel to anyone, thank you.
This was not my first time to stay in a hotel booked through lidl breaks and I do find them great value for money, unfortunately I didn’t feel the white sands hotel lived up to other hotels I have stayed in .When it came to ordering our meal for dinner (which was bar food) & again for breakfast, the service was extremely slow ( although the staff serving me seemed to be rushed off their feet!!). The dinner was mediocre and we had an extra charge for ordering the steak & Salmon for our main course which I don’t think was highlighted at the booking stage. The staff were nice , the room was just ok but the fire alarm sounding at 2am and again at 7am added to an already disappointing stay.
we enjoyed our two night stay in the white sands. It was clean comfortable and the reception staff were very friendly. breakfast was just o k. not great choice expecially the fresh fruit or lack of ;; bedrooms were very nice and very clean . Im sure this must be really beautiful in the summer with the beach just across the road with really nice walks.
The hotel is nothing like it looks in the pictures, although the staff were nice everything else failed to meet expectations. The room was average for a hotel of its rating but that could be forgiven. Dinner was in a bar beside a pool table with poor service. On asking the waitress for a glass of wine with dinner she asked me to go order at the bar. When the food arrived it was presented well but on further inspection it was raw red in the middle. We had the option of ordering another meal which too turned out to be under cooked. The rooms are not soundproof and after the nightclub was finished down stairs the party proceeded into the hallway until 6am. I must say the breakfast was nice with friendly service but a little to late to enjoy the experience.
