Friendly staff and they are doing some major work to update the hotel so I have taken this into account. The rooms were excellent but in some areas need the modernisation but honestly they were still excellent. Testers

Lovely room with sea view. Bar was a little overcrowded with two parties going on.

The room was enormous with a comfortable bed and view of the bay. The front desk staff was wonderful. The bathroom could use a little updating but was spacious. Breakfast was decent, nothing spectacular, a bit expensive for what you got and they were understaffed. Overall a great place to stay for location and price.

Lovely hotel. Arrived by bus (102) from airport. All the staff we met in dining room, bar, reception, & housekeeping were great. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything is to a good standard. Rooms are very comfortable. Food good too. Swimming pool a real bonus. It was quiet and the changing rooms spacious and had underfloor heating. Get towels at reception. . Walk through the hotel garden straight onto Sutton beach, and head for Howth for a good walk. Dart and different buses handy for getting about if you don’t have a car.

Beautiful hotel with a lovely view of the water. Rooms were clean and updated. We had a great stay and highly recommend

Room was extremely small, great view, but big window had big drops of bird poo, doesn't make for a good picture. Good location, easy walk to train into downtown Dublin. Breakfast buffet pretty overpriced.

We stayed the night before hitting Dublin AirPort the next morning and we had a perfect night sleep

I actually found the Marine by accident. I'm glad I did because the whole experience was awesome. The hotel was built in 1897 and has the classic lines and architecture of the time. The views from the rear of the hotel were amazing Irish sea views that are available in the lobby and dining room. We didn't get a sea view room because they were all booked. Even though our room was on the front of the hotel closest to the street, our room was super quiet. Since there is no air conditioning in the rooms, we opened the windows and still wasn't bothered by noise. We were there in early May, so the weather was perfect for sleeping with the windows open. We ate the breakfast buffet every morning. It's simple fair of egg, sausage, bacon, hashbrowns and a bread selection with local jams and butter. Of course, hot tea, coffee and multiple juices. Everything was fresh and always full. We also ate supper two nights and the food was excellent. Theres not a huge menu selection but it was more than adequate. The bar was as cool as the rest of the hotel with a decent liquor, wine and beer selection. The bartender is a real worker who buzzed from one end of the bar to the other, always attentive and knowledgeable. Our room was clean, large and comfortable. One small complaint was the bed. It was a little on the hard side. When we make it back to Ireland, I would not hesitate to stay at the Marine or recommend it to friends or family.

The best start to our trip! We called once we landed and the staff was amazing. Our room was ready early. The view was beautiful. The hotel was quiet, clean and right by a train station to get into town. Still dreaming about the coffee and scones I had for breakfast. I would absolutely stay here again.

The views from our room were beautiful. We had water view

Lovely friendly welcome, great large room with a beautiful view. Had an evening drink in the garden and a walk along the beach (accessed directly from the end of the hotels garden) which was lovely. A great change to city centre hotels. Didn’t eat there as a quick stopover but from what I experienced I do recommend.

Great staff, clean and the pool was great. Food and staff were excellent

I would highly recommend this hotel.

The room itself was lovely but the staff was either overwhelmed or didn't care. The room was booked for 3 but had only been prepared for 2. We had to go to the reception desk to ask for an extra set of towels because no one answered the phone. We ran out of toilet paper our second night and there was no one at reception to get it for us. After waiting 15 minutes, I went into the lobby bathroom and pulled off enough to get us through the night. Also, our shower head was super difficult to use - someone had to come and show us how to use it. Too bad. The hotel is well-situated and quite nice.

The staff was more than sweet and helpful!

The hotel is a bit tired in places, but still offers a comfortable stay. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the experience. The restaurant serves good food, and the pool is clean and relaxing. Its location near the sea is a big plus, and it’s also close to the train station, making it easy to get around. There’s plenty of parking as well. Overall, a pleasant stay with good amenities, despite needing a few updates.

This was a pleasant hotel just outside of Dublin. It was quiet and the staff were extremely helpful.

The pool, sauna, and steam room are nice. The property is in a nice location in relation to downtown Dublin and Howth, both of which are reachable by a nearby train station. It can be tricky driving into the parking lot of the hotel as the intersection is a bit odd but overall an excellent stay.

Didn’t use the bar. My only criticism would be that the full Irish breakfast was a bit dry although I loved the white pudding I saw a few other people having what looked like a vegetarian option which looked tasty. If I had known I probably would’ve chosen it

The pool was closed for maintenance which was the main reason we picked this hotel, disappointed not to be told before arrival. Room was too warm, had window opened but was so noisy with seagulls at 6am we had to close it. Breakfast was luke warm, with only 3 items of hot food. Staff were lovely.
