My daughter and myself were visiting Dublin for a family funeral. We’ve stayed at the Shoreline before . It’s a lovely h
Pros:

The location is beautiful, staff very friendly and helpful. Delicious food

Cons:

The toilet could have done with a good scrub around the S bend ( below water line ) as it was quite discoloured there .
Also the putty ( don’t know was you call the white stuff) around the bath area was crumbling away and needs to be replaced.

Stunning views but price did not reflect the hotels facilities, upkeep and general enjoyment.
Pros:

The view was incredible and the staff were lovely.

Cons:

Very run down hotel, the room was tiny considering the cost. The sockets didnt work, no table beside the bed, the hotel was very noisy - kids running up and down the corridor of the bedrooms at 12.30am. Food was only OK, a lovely menu but didnt deliver on taste unfortunately.

Brilliant family value and fun
Pros:

We are just back from a brilliant family stay at Shoreline Hotel! We couldn’t fault our stay in any way and had incredible value for money. We only paid €350 for a 2 night stay which included dinner ( would have been €70 per night) and breakfast which was fabulous with both a buffet and cooked menu. Honestly feel we had a steal! The food was delicious and service prompt and friendly. Car parking was sorted easily and room was convenient. All staff were friendly and helpful. 2 large clean and comfortable double beds and plenty of space. Bathroom (and some furniture) was a little dated but clean and the heated floor was lovely, plenty of towels. To be honest coming and going with sandy kids we were happy enough that it was ‘lived in’ and not pristine, as we certainly didn’t leave it that way! Previous reviews had worried me so we brought our own towels and pillows but really shouldn’t have worried as everything supplied was great. Lovely Field Day body wash, hand wash and shampoo in the bathroom too. It was quiet, right on the beach and we had lovely toasties from the yellow van. The lobby was modern and a lovely relaxing place to hang out, almost empty both times. I highly recommend this place for a fun family trip, we all loved it and have recommended it to all.

Really lovely. Friendly staff. Very chilled and easy going.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

If I had to nit pick the one thing is to keep the windows clean on the outside of the sea front view rooms. Just to help appreciate the lovely views.

I was very happy with Shoreline overall and its location and staff and my room and will come back!
Pros:

My room had a view of the ocean and I was pleasantly surprised. I also loved the dinner-seafood scampi-it was VERY GOOD. Front desk lady helped me with my luggage to my room. Nice bar area too!

Cons:

The breakfast was not good. I ordered a spinach omelette and it was very scorched and overdone. Service was a bit slow.
