Best Portmarnock Hotels

We had our wedding at Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links in early October. It was an amazing experience. The venue was elegant and set indoor, with a beach directly outside. The ceremony was held at the hotel as well as the dinner and reception, which lasted well into the night. On Day Two, an excellent barbecue was prepared for the guests that were still there. The entire staff, including Holly, at the front desk, David, at the bar, and Connor, the wedding coordinator, were outstanding. Connor, in particular made sure we were well looked after the entire time, and was extremely helpful in coordinating the entire process. On top of that, the weather happened to be outstanding that day. I’d highly recommend Portmarnock Hotel for a hotel stay and as an ideal wedding venue.

Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Nice bar. Tasty food. Good value. Plenty of car parking. Comfortable beds. The room had a lovely sea view to see the sun rise in the morning.

Very welcoming and spotless guesthouse and excellent location as airport is only a short drive away. We were a small group of 6 and we finished our tour here and spent the last night enjoying Malahide, which itself is worth the visit, so much to offer. Rooms were cozy and clean and place altogether very inviting. If busy Dublin city does not interest you, don't look any further as Malahide has an excellent access to city centre, but also other beautiful seaside towns and could be a perfect base for your trip!

The Hotel was beautiful and the location was great the clean facilities were excellent and the service was exemplary. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Grand. Our problem seems to be with TRIP.COM. We paid our bill, a fact born out by our credit card, but we keep getting notices for nonpayment. I have tried to contact the hotel with no luck and no luck with TRIP.COM.

This is a bit of a mixed bag; perfectly OK to stay for a single night before flying out, but for several days if you have to work, then maybe consider one of the Hiltons near the City centre. The good bits: -Hotel foyer & restaurant has a good layout -Parking is available in the underground car park Food in the restaurant is good For improvement: -Hotel corridors are dingy... carpets need replacing and so too lighting. It's a bit depressing -Rooms are ok (there are refurbished rooms that you might get), but if facing the road - a bit noisy -Aircon terrible... mind of its own -Service in the restaurant is incredibly slow. Took 2hrs to get meal, and of the three that served us, there was no intervention to check nor when we pointed out the wait, any immediate offer to resolve.. and it was undercooked. -The gym is small for a hotel of this size -Location is 10~15min from airport and 30 to the City via the toll tunnel. Above all, the restaurant service needs fixing and more attention made to how long dishes are taking. It's basic stuff really.

We had a really great stay here , so close to the airport and the restaraunt food and cocktails were really great. The front counter service was awesome.

This was the most expensive hotel of our ten day trip to Ireland (more than 200E) and we chose it only because of the proximity to the airport. The pictures on the Internet made it seem nice and modern but they were deceiving. The first room we got smelled like cigarette smoke even though it was supposed to be non-smoking. The hallways also smelled like smoke. The second room we got was dirty -- an old sock was left on the floor and there were hairs on the bed. The tv remote was so old the numbers were worn off and the remote was missing the battery cover. The tv was also unplugged from the cable for some reason. The rooms are very small -- think college dorm size or cruise ship. The hotel and the rooms I saw are in dire need of renovation - the elevator creaked every time it was used. The only positive things I have to say is that the breakfast was pretty good (buffet), it is close to the airport, and the front desk personnel were friendly. However, I wanted to get out of the place as soon as I could because it felt so dirty. Even the McDonald's across the street felt elegant compared to this hotel. The Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport was by far the worst place I stayed in Ireland and an unfortunate ending to an otherwise nice trip. Surprisingly the hotel was packed with travelers when we were there, given that it was so bad.
