The hotel was situated in a newer facility built around the castle which was a unique experience. While the rooms were smaller than expected and a bit cluttered, the service was exceptional with attentive staff going out of their way to assist. The location, although a bit further than anticipated from transportation and the city, offered a guarantee of a peaceful night's sleep. The dining experience was top-notch with easily booked meals and delicious options. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives that shaped my stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit small for the price and lacked sound insulation to the next room; however, the room itself was lovely with a gorgeous four-poster bed and beautiful city views. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who addressed any issues promptly. The location was convenient with easy access to public transport, although not right in the city center. The dining experience was a highlight with delicious and homemade foods. Overall, a great stay with a few drawbacks.

The hotel had beautiful, clean, and comfortable rooms with lovely four-poster beds, but the lack of freshening up on the second morning was a letdown. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to the attentive and friendly staff like Robert. The location was a bit inconvenient due to noise in the morning but close to Dublin attractions. The dining experience was fantastic, with a great selection of food, although a bit pricey. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

Upon checking in, there was a slight delay with our room, but we were accommodated swiftly by allowing others to take available rooms. The modern and well-appointed rooms made up for the confusion during check-out. The service was a mix of poor interactions among bar staff but exceptional efforts from the reception team. The location, though slightly outside Dublin, was worth the extra cost with its proximity to the seafront and charming cafes. The dining experience exceeded expectations with a vast selection for both dinner and breakfast. Overall, the hotel provided a comfortable stay with a few hiccups along the way that were overshadowed by its positive aspects.

The hotel offers very clean rooms with a quick and efficient room service and a surprisingly big selection, although the actual room size can be smaller than expected. The service from the staff is incredibly helpful, friendly, and exceptional in every way. The location is great with its own parking, making it convenient for guests with vehicles, and though slightly outside of Dublin, it is in a super-safe suburb with nice surroundings. The dining experience may be a bit pricey for some, but it offers good quality. Overall, a lovely stay with minor room size issues.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The location is excellent for exploring Howth and its attractions but may encounter noise from deliveries. The rooms are of a good size, not too big or too small.

The hotel rooms were a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. On one hand, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. On the other hand, the temperature control was challenging, and some rooms overlooked a graveyard. The service was commendable with friendly and helpful staff, though the location had its ups and downs being close to the sea but also noisy in the mornings. The dining was a delight with delicious options, albeit not suited for all tastes. The facilities offered were satisfactory, catering to basic needs.

The hotel is situated right on the Irish Sea, offering a beautiful location with extremely comfortable beds, though some wedding disco noise could be a drawback. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, with lovely wall lighting and a huge bathroom. The service is exceptional, especially from Kay at C & B, who is incredibly helpful and courteous, going out of their way to apologize for any inconvenience. The dining experience is top-notch, with a vast selection that sets you up perfectly for the day. However, the noise from a wedding disco might disrupt relaxing moments, and some might find the location a bit noisy due to its proximity to the nature preserve on the Bay.
