The room was a bit dated and shabby. Not as nice as the images. However, the hotel is well situated, right on the beach-front. The night before we were due to leave, we had booked for dinner for the family at 6pm. When we arrived for dinner, we were informed the kitchen was closed because the hotel’s gas supply was cut. Nobody had made any effort to inform us in advance of us arriving for dinner. We have two young children who were hungry. We tried to find somewhere local to eat, but couldn’t find anywhere to go appropriate for young children. We finally went to a local supermarket and bought food to eat in our room. The following morning the gas supply had still not been fixed and there was no hot water to allow us to shower before our journey home. There was no attempt by the hotel to assist with alternative eating arrangements or to apologise for the situation. It was a disappointing end to a lovely holiday in Ireland.

Absolutely Appalling – Avoid at All Costs I recently stayed at the Shoreline Hotel in Dublin and can honestly say it was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at any hotel. The property is in a disgusting state of disrepair – paint peeling, sticky floors, and bathrooms with brown-stained walls that looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The toilets were filthy and clearly not maintained. Even the grounds were strewn with rubbish, giving a first impression that only got worse. The front of house staff were unprofessional and indifferent, bordering on rude. The car park – supposedly offered as part of our stay – was full of rubbish and rusting bikes apparently belonging to staff who are actually living in the guest rooms. That alone is highly inappropriate and unacceptable for paying guests. Despite written confirmation that we could leave our car parked for a few weeks, I received a call a day later to say the car had been clamped, and now they are threatening to remove it entirely. I’ve sent multiple emails and they are now refusing to reply. This is not just bad service – it borders on harassment. As for the food – €110 for a single portion of fish and chips, a plate of vegetables, and two drinks is outrageous, especially when the quality was disgusting Greasy, bland, and clearly reheated – not remotely close to restaurant standard. The overall behaviour and condition of this hotel are disgraceful.

The rooms need an update. No fans or air conditioning. Bed was very hard and slopping. Bathroom small without a fan and a very bad smell.
