This hotel in the suburbs of Dublin offered a warm, cozy atmosphere with a genuine, family-oriented level of hospitality. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed our stay and especially appreciated how friendly and accommodating the staff were — the service was outstanding. We also highly recommend trying the attached restaurant if you have the time, as it added even more to the experience. Overall, the hospitality and comfort made for a memorable stay, and we would gladly return.

This is THE best run hotel in Dublin. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The food is excellent and the service is exemplary. The hotel is situated within a 15-20 minute walk from the centre. Buses and the Dart are close by. Sandymount itself is lovely and the locals are friendly and accommodating. It’s a 10 minute walk to Dublin Bay and wonderful walks along the beach. Can’t rave enough about this place!!!!!!!

Very clean and friendly staff. No air conditioner in room but temperature outside rarely gets above 70 so we opened the windows. It was a little warm but hotel is very nice and in a good area. The restaurant and bar area was also nice. The staff was friendly and the food was good!

All of the staff was excellent and the food and drinks at the restaurant were soooo soooo good. No a/c but that's not uncommon at many European hotels. They were very generous with towels, etc. and, again, the staff was great.

This was a very nice hotel. The smaller room had enough space to spread out. The bed was comfortable. The common areas and attached restaurant were enjoyable to sit in. They were decorated nicely. The building is old and gives lots of character to the space.

We spent two nights at The Sandymount. It is right beside Aviva if you are attending a match, but the rest of the area is mainly residential (not much for restaurants or shopping near by). It is a quiet area. The room and beds were comfortable and the shower was nice, though there is no a/c. The staff at the front desk, the bar and restaurant were all very good. The breakfast buffet was also very good, and we had a tasty supper in the bar.

Great hotel in a good location for concerts. Easy to get from the hotel into the city centre, and the surrounding around felt safe, with great food options. Staff at the hotel were very helpful in suggesting somewhere to grab brunch when we arrived. Hotel was modern and the breakfast was delicious! Can be noisy in the rooms, and the bedroom was very warm even with the window having been open all day. However overall a great hotel and would definitely stay here again
