Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Another wonderful stay in the Sandymount Hotel for match day/St.Patricks Day. Every aspect of our stay was fantastic- the room, cleanliness, delicious food, entertainment and most of all the extremely pleasant, efficient and helpful staff. Thank you,Sandymount, for another very enjoyable weekend. Hopefully see you again next year for another match day weekend 🙏 🙌

Hotel's Favourite
This area is so safe compared to staying closer to the city centre which I usually do for convenience. But it is only 10 min drive to get to centre from here. We also walked to and from a restaurant in Ballsbridge at night and we never once felt unsafe. The hotel has free parking which is very unusual in city. The room was small but spotless. The bathroom was like new with lovely Ritual toiletries. The windows in bedroom and bathroom open fully to allow plenty fresh air. A heated towel rail in bathroom was a nice touch. The corridors in the hotel are narrow but apart from that I would highly recommend this hotel.

Very nice hotel. Very quaint and cute area. It’s right by the stadium. Very clean and tidy rooms. Smaller hotel with great energy. The rooms were a bit small but did the job. The staff is super nice and accommodating. Beatrice was super friendly and helpful!

I recently met some friends for an overnight catch-up. The Hotel is a brisk 35 minute walk from the city which I chose to do. We opted to have food in the hotel which was marvelous, I had chicken Caesar salad. The staff were extremely friendly. The bedroom had a beautiful decor and the bed was very comfortable. A great Breakfast the next morning after a wonderful walk out to poolbeg, sandymound completed a great short stay. A special mention to the super friendly staff in particular Bearnice who was very knowledgable on the area. I should also mention the little reading nooks to relax in privacy while sipping some wonderful coffee. I will definitely stay again.

I cannot say enough fantastic things about this Hotel... I dream of it, waiting patiently until I can visit again. The whole experience was lovely from start to finish. I called the front desk from the Heuston train station in a slight panic because our Airbnb just cancelled and my daughter and I needed accomodation stat! It was high season at the very end of August with not much available and not only did The Sandymount have a room for us it was the best deal I could find so we hopped in a cab right away! We were checked into a nice but simple room and were quite happy with it then there was a knock at our door and the lovely lady from the front desk (Giulia I think) asked us if we'd like to switch into a larger room since we were staying for 3 nights....absolutely! Our friends who we were planning on staying with next, until our flight home, got sick with Covid....so The Sandymount came to our rescue! We were totally bummed about not seeing our friends but being in this beautiful place put smiles back on our faces. The library filled with old books was really cool, the breakfasts in the morning were delicious, the pub was fun and filled with entertaining people and the room was gorgeous and incredibly comfy! I wish we had more time to explore the area but we did enjoy walking to catch the train into the city centre. During our Irish travels we adopted a sheep and named him Paul, he enjoyed his stay too! I don't know why it's taken me so long to write this review.... no idea but this Hotel really does hold a magical place in my heart.

My experience was with a venue for international women's day where took place in the restaurant hotel and I would like to thank you Claire, Cristina from the book that gave me all support that I need to make this book with more than 50 women, they helped me in all steps to make this day happened! I specially thanks Ana Julia for all tips and help with menu details, decoration and to present the hotel for us to make the venue! And the special staff for the day, Mart that made a such special non-alcoolic drink and Ujin that took nice photos :)
