Wir waren sehr zufrieden.
Pros:

Das Personal des Hotels war sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer war groß. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Vom Frühstücksraum hatte man einen sehr schönen Blick auf das Meer und den Strand. Das Hotel war leicht zu finden und hatte einen großen Parkplatz, auf dem wir unser Auto kostenfrei abstellen konnten. Wir haben auch sehr gut am Abend im Hotel gegessen. Vom Hotel aus war der Flughafen Dublin gut mit dem Auto in kurzer Zeit zu erreichen.

Cons:

Es gab nichts zu beanstanden.

Awful
Pros:

Never again!! Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. No water at all in the morning for a shower, after much of a do trying to get through to reception as room phone wasn't working was told no water workmen hit pipe. Not even the offer of bottled water to brush teeth. Rooms were disgusting absolutely filthy and carpets all
Torn and tatty. Girl that checked us in was lovely but thats the only good thing I have to say. Most awful hotel stay I've ever had.

Perfect Irish get a way!
Pros:

The Shoreline was perfect for our 10 day stay. The atmosphere was like a family owned but with all the amenities. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The hotel was always in order and clean. Our room balcony overlooked the Irish Sea with beaches and hiking paths. The restaurant and bar was welcoming and food delicious. Value was there as we booked a 10 day stay. We would stay here when we return to Ireland.

Amazing Location ~ Wonderful staff and food ~ Rooms need help
Pros:

We finished our Ireland tour at the Shoreline Hotel. The location is beautiful, the food and folks working in the restaurant are wonderful, but ask about the condition of your room. They are working on renovating rooms so some of the rooms are good and others a little sketchy. Our room was clean overall, but very tired and rough condition. We talked with the manager and he said those rooms are being renovated. Note for allergen needs - the restaurant staff worked with my wife's gluten and dairy allergies for a wonderful breakfast.

Great Wedding Venue
Pros:

We had an absolutely incredible experience at the Shoreline for our wedding. We’ve stayed in the shoreline many times over the years and this time was better than ever! Every member of the team from start to finish was an absolute star, particular thanks to Judith who made our day absolutely perfect, no ask was too much, she made everything happen like magic! Food was incredible, rooms were lovely as always, and we were so well looked after. Their new sauna outside was amazing & needed for the day after the wedding haha! Can’t speak highly enough of the place.
