On a weekend break to Dublin...We arrived at this hotel late friday night, it was easy to find and just what we needed. The reception staff were very quick, friendly and efficient. A very irish pub attached which was lovely and the service was good. The room and bathroom were in need of some modernising but for one night it... More

good points - excellent sea views and a friendly welcome there it ends. I was given room 201 next to the lift, which meant the room vibrated each time some used the lift. The room decor was dated but functional - underside of the bedspread had been slashed a few times and obvious signs of cigarette burns in furniture despite... More

We tried this place many times due to its location. It has nice views. We understand that its presently being rented out and no longer run by the owner. It is always difficult to get service in the bar because the staff disappear on a regular basis. Most are part-time with little or no experience. The food is only so-so,... More

The location of the hotel was great, right on the beach, great for walks or to relax. Howth & Malahide only a few minutes drive away-both lovely for a visit. Hotel was clean, rooms clean, staff very nice, especially the lady on reception, food was lovely & well priced, service good. The bar was nice, view out onto the sea,... More

My Partner and i stayed at the white sands hotel Sat.6th April '13 on a voucher deal mainly to avail of the good restaurants and tourist attractions in nearby malahide.

I have nothing but praise for this lovely hotel, for the service, for the more than cordial staff, for the excellent food, for the reasonable prices and for the... More

I went to room 211 and walked in and walked out. The room was dirty with old bedding and filty walls. Room very out dated. I got a refund at reception and went and stayed at portmarnock golf and spa hotel. I wudnt recommend for u to stay at whitesands. The windows on the hotel were filty and hotel in... More

Stayed in the "Sands"over the Easter break and can honestly say the food was great and the staff friendly, only down side was the fact that when booking the hotel the only thing we asked for was a double bed, disappointed when we saw two singles had been pushed together ( not a good nights sleep).. Room was tidy and... More
