The hotel location was perfect as we were heading out in Malahide. There is a great bus service running just outside the hotel. The hotel bar and restaurant have. Good food and lovely atmosphere. The hotel is a bit dated but the cleanliness is great and staff are lovely and really helpful. Definitely coming back

Stayed For 2 Nights Whilst In Ireland For A Gig At Slane Castle. The Location Of The Hotel Is Right Opposite The Beach, So The View From Reception & The Dining Area Is Beautiful. Its Only A 20min Drive From The Airport & They Have Free Onsite Parking Which Was Perfect For Us As We Rented A Car To Drive To Slane And Back And Not Many Hotels Had Parking Available At All, Let Alone Free For Guests. The Room Was Lovely, The Hotel Decor Was Beautiful & The Staff Were All Super Friendly And Helpful! I Would Highly Recommend & Would Definitely Return!!

.We had a lovely 3 night stay in the Sands hotel. Spotlessly clean, warm friendly service, comfy beds. Breathtaking views of Lambay, Ireland's Eye and Howth Head. The Velvet Strand on your doorstep. Bus to Malahide leaves outside the door of the hotel. We will be back.

I stayed here for 1 night to go to a concert. The staff were very helpful. But the room was not clean there was wine stains on the carpet and the bed side tables looked like they hadn't been wiped in a long time.. also no WiFi did not work in our room. And the shower unit was coming away from the wall.
