The room was so hot, possibly over a boiler room. Staff were minimal and run of their feet. Trying to cope as best they could and very polite. So this is not a criticism of them.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of ‘The Velvet Strand’, one of Ireland’s most stunning stretches of uninterrupted coastline - the historic Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links, once the family home...

Howth is the place to stay when visiting Dublin. Just 30 minutes by train away from he city centre, it is a small but beautiful town on a penninsula surrounded with cliffs and seagull collonies. Many great pubs and restuarants, fantastic views and, contrary to Dublin - the calm and peaceful atmosphere where you can really relax.

I did not know what to expect as we booked last minute to go to a concert in Malahide. Howth is a beautiful seaside town with lots on offer (restaurants, bars, cafes etc...) We hope to return in the near future to spend more time there. Great for couples & families. A bit hilly in places so you need to have good mobility if you want to explore or stay slightly out of town. I visited a beautiful cove in the morning time where there were lots of swimmers in the sea & it was so peaceful...great way to start the day.

Location: This was the first time we were setting foot on Irish soil. King Sitric in Howth was the first place we headed to from Dublin Airport. No regrets! So much to see and do in Howth. Charming views in every direction. So much to take in.
Transport: A short taxi ride or walk to the train station. Buses stop less than 100m from the hotel. I think one even passes right in front of the hotel.
People: The Irish are the best. Everywhere, they seem to be so welcoming and genuine.
Hotel and Rooms: Interesting history. It should be promoted more. Pleasant and friendly staff. Our room was steps from the ocean. What a lovely welcome to a lovely country. The room had nice little touches. Loved the in-room Nespresso & chocs. Nice hot showers.
Food: Amazingly fresh seafood in the restaurant downstairs for dinner (apparently caught by local fisherman in the sea right outside our room) and upstairs for guests' breakfasts; the menu items were well-chosen. Fish is also an option for breakfast! Found it strange though that so little bread is given, as there's so much rich and flavourful sauce to lap up. We even paid for more bread, but again it was just one tiny slice of bread. Maybe it's an Irish thing?
Pricing: We found Ireland in general to be very expensive, from hotels to food to shopping.

Cliff walk, buzz of day trippers, cafes and restaurants.
Cliff walk, buzz of day trippers, cafes and restaurants. Everything well maintained. Initially had trouble getting a pre dinner drink as most bars.taverns are booking their tables for diners. We were put out in the cold in O'Connells! Finally hit on The Harbour Bar which was lovely.

All the pubs serve the same type food ...very dated - fish and chips all that beautiful fish in batter...such a shame - there would need to be more variety without having to avail of fine dining. The food offerings do seem to be stuck in a time zone, needs to be more vegetarian, vegan etc....
However, Howth is beautiful and well worth a stay.
The owner was so kind and caring. The location was amazing! Close to the cliff trail. Enjoyed the fresh sea air. The decor of King Sitric is so beautiful. The beds were extremely comfortable. The room is well equipped with coffee, tea, hot chocolate and toiletries. Shower with plenty of power and hot water. Make time to have the yummy breakfast in the hotel dining area over looking the ocean. Also their restaurant food was amazing. It is a short walk from the train station through beautiful Howth village. Everyone is so friendly their.
Sean is helpful, friendly, informative, and genuine! You can tell he loves what he does!
His breakfast is amazing! He alwYs knows the weather for tou and local goings on as well, to help you plan your trip! A stoat, hedghogs and a seagull named Henrietta, who visits the kitchen window, live on site and add to the charm!
Beds are comfortable and rooms are exceptionally clean. The location in Howth is near a bus stop and a short walk to a train station. Dublin is easily accessible but howth is a quiet escape from the hustle.
Engaging, friendly staff in both the hotel and the restaurant. The management team went out of their way to help me. The room had all amenities, including a box of delightful chocolates. The location is perfect, right across from the water and on the main street, close to everything. The driver, James, is the best. He picked me up form the airport and provided local history on the ride to Howth. Highly recommend the hotel and the restaurant.
We had the loveliest time at Gleann Na Smol! Our host was a delight/ His welcoming hospitality went over and beyond our expectations. The breakfasts were fabulous, the conversations were a joy, and the added time he spent with us assisting us with the are was extremely kind. If we return to Howth, we will certainly stay here again!
Within walking distance to town. Easy enough to the Howth cliff walks. In the morning we were able to mingle with other travelers. Sean was helpful and offered to help us carry luggage in. He made room for us for our car. Convenient to Dublin and the airport.
But of a tardis, looked small from outside but tons of space. Properly comfortable and stylishly decorated. Perfect location for us, right near the harbour with all its bars and restaurants, short walk to the DART for access to Dublin centre.
Location fantastic, pretty village, easy to get into Dublin centre. Hosts very flexible on our arrival, considering our plane was delayed 3 hours and we arrived much later than intended. Clean, spacious apartment. Would recommend.
Place is located in a sweet spot of Howth. The cliff walk is starting right around the corner and the harbour is no longer than 15 minutes walk away. Superb host and the staff. The breakfast was great!
Great location, minutes to the Howth cliff walk, and walking distance to the harbor downtown. The host was friendly and pleasant.
It worked for a one night stay.
Situated in very picturesque Howth, overlooking the sea. Bed very comfortable, lovely modern clean room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast amazing!
