This is a wonderful place to stay in Howth! Excellent service, lovely staff, delicious food. We loved it and I’d definitely come back. Ocean was across the road and we were very close to the cliff side walk but also not far to walk to food and drink options. Great spot!

What a wonderful stay at King Sitric. The room is comfortable, the bathroom and shower are large and well stocked with amenities. The hot, custom order breakfast was incredible. The seaside location was lovely for a first night in Ireland. Walking distance to the train station.

Tucked in at the east end of the promonade in Howth( pronounced Hoat), is a quaint little hotel with only 10 rooms and a fantastic seafood restaurant. Our rooms over looked the bay with the Eye of Ireland right in our view. The King Sitric Hotel is a great stay and our host Garrett was perfect. The hotel is named after a Viking King of Dublin in the 11th century. Howth was our last stay in a 3 week tour of Ireland. By far one of the best places we stayed.

My husband and I had a perfect stay at King Sitric while visiting Howth. The room was extremely clean, comfortable, and well-appointed with nice amenities. Everyone on the staff was very friendly and helpful - from storing our bags before/after, arranging for airport transportation and local information. Both dinner and breakfast there were among the best meals we had on our vacation! From the fresh local seafood, to local and homemade items on the menus. Thank you to all for making our stay memorable! Hope to come back again soon!

Cozy stay in Howth

Thoroughly enjoyed a one night stay. Howth appears to be a popular day trip and the town was busy in the afternoon. Nice to experience Howth after the crowds left. Room on the ground floor was spacious clean and comfortable. Bathroom and amenities were excellent. Bed and soft goods added to the comfort factor. With the windows open there was some street and road noise earlier in the evening but it was quiet overnight resulting in good sleep quality. Front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating. Arranged for box take away breakfast because we had an early departure. Didn’t eat at the restaurant but the menu looked good and so did the food.

Rooms were lovely, spotless, and stylishly decorated. Dinner at the seafood bar was fantastic, and so was the complimentary breakfast. Howth is a wonderful area as well. Comparing King Sitric to Portmarnock & Jameson resort, I would definitely choose King Sitric as the winner. The rooms were nicer, and just much more character to the place. Stay here - you won’t regret it!

Stayed here for one night before catching our Ferry from Dublin the next day. Also, a useful base for the Airport. A lovely spacious room, plenty of storage, tea and coffee making facilities, plenty of plug sockets and a fan, safe and TV. The fan was much needed as there is only one small window that can be opened (overlooking the bay) and it was a hot summers night. Howth is a very busy little town, more so when we arrived as it had been a hot summers Sunday and everywhere was busy. Luckily when we arrived around tea time, we were able to find a parking space outside the accommodation. The following morning all was quiet around the town and harbour. We ate in the restaurant which is mainly sea food, but offers other meals too, including vegetarian. Breakfast the following morning set us up for the day with a choice of cereals, fruit, yoghurt and hot food.
