Had a great 3 night stay at White Sands through KGB deal, bead breakfast and 1 evening meal. Lovely clean warm rooms (bed a bit hard but ask staff for an extra duvet to sleep on). Lovely adjoining pub serving good food. Breakfast was plentiful. Very polite helpful staff. Portmarnock, Malahide and Howth were so charming we never ventured into... More

Well located, near Malahide, very helpful and nice staff but the rooms to the front are awful, old, the shower was dirty... A good refurbish is a must. But it was cheap so... And the walls didn't stop the noise from the corridor or other rooms. More

Fine hotel although a bit dated in decor and room facilities. Stayed for a family meal on the Sunday, food and service were excellent. Nightclub attached is legendary, fortunately had two peaceful nights sleep. More

Stayed here before and loved the proximity to the beach. It is very near Malahide and Howth which have nice cafes and a choice of Resturants.This time I brought my elderly parents and asked for a disabled room. The rooms were great with an adjoining door and reception was very helpful. Unfortunately the rooms were not ready when we were... More

Just back from a great Saturday night stay at White Sands Hotel in Portmarnock. Our party of four stayed in two lovely rooms, warm and cozy with all the amenities you would need. We enjoyed a tasty but inexpensive meal in the Oasis bar attached to the hotel along with a few drinks and ended the night in Tumangos nightclub.... More
