3-Star HotelSummary of reviews related to the '3 Star' categoryWhite Sands Hotel, while possessing a three-star rating, presents a mixed experience for guests. Many agree that the hotel is clean and comfortable, fitting well within the expectations for a good three-star accommodation. A few even suggest that it deserves a higher rating, perhaps four stars, due to its cleanliness and comfort.

However, the most consistent feedback highlights the dated nature of the property. The interiors, as well as the rooms, are described as outdated with several guests noting that the hotel could greatly benefit from renovation. Issues such as rooms being basic, tired, shabby and in some cases, outright grotty, are frequently mentioned. The need for updates is apparent, as many feel the rooms do not meet the quality or the price point associated with three-star status.

Despite the negatives, the hotel's location and food service receive high praise, contributing positively to the overall guest experience. The consensus appears to be that White Sands Hotel offers a decent stay with its strengths lying in cleanliness, comfort and prime location, though it is let down by its outdated facilities and the pressing need for refurbishment.

3-Star Bed & BreakfastSummary of reviews related to the '3 Star' categoryGleann Na Smol in Howth offers a mix of experiences for its guests. While some visitors find the establishment to be absolutely the best value in the area, there are numerous concerns regarding its facilities and services. The property itself stands as one of the more affordable options in the expensive landscape of Ireland, though many believe the price is still too high for what is offered.

Guests frequently note that the furnishings and overall condition of the rooms are outdated, and the cleanliness of both the rooms and shared spaces, such as the kitchen, leaves a lot to be desired. The establishment appears to fall short of the expectations set by its online descriptions, leading to disappointment for some who are drawn in by the promise of comfortable accommodations.

It's clear Gleann Na Smol requires modernization and repair to align more closely with guests' expectations. Despite these challenges, the service provided is described as friendly and accommodating. Guests appreciate the attentive care they receive, which may balance the overall experience somewhat for those seeking a budget-friendly stay. Nonetheless, potential visitors should weigh these factors carefully when considering a stay at Gleann Na Smol.

Travelodge Dublin Airport North 'Swords' 4.3 km from Portmarnock
Hotel in Swords

From $117
From $117
3-Star HotelSummary of reviews related to the '3 Star' categoryStrategically located next to a Lidl and convenient for an overnight stay before an early flight, Travelodge Dublin Airport North in Swords offers functional and clean accommodations at a relatively good price. While the hotel is convenient and efficient with standard Travelodge amenities, it has its drawbacks. The overall decor is tired, worn and quite basic—akin to a two-star property rather than the three-star rating it holds.

The rooms, although clean and comfy, are outdated and have basic furnishings. The facilities and amenities are not in line with what one might expect from a three-star hotel and the lack of nearby public transport adds to the inconvenience. Additional issues include no bar, slow check-in and the absence of a shuttle service that the hotel advertises.

Considering the price, which can be as high as €120 per night, the hotel does not offer great value for money. In fact, there are higher-rated hotels nearby, such as the Hilton, which offer significantly better standards for only a small increase in price. Overall, while suitable for a short transit stay, the property greatly needs an upgrade to meet contemporary standards.
