Great views
On a weekend break to Dublin...We arrived at this hotel late friday night, it was easy to find and just what we needed. The reception staff were very quick, friendly and efficient. A very irish pub attached which was lovely and the service was good. The room and bathroom were in need of some modernising but for one night it was great. The location was great for walked along the coast, which was a fantastic start to our weekend break in Ireland. There is a night-club next door and you can hear the bass but was easy to get to sleep. Overall i would definitely recommend this hotel.

tired, overpriced, disappointed - but good seaview
good points - excellent sea views and a friendly welcomethere it ends. I was given room 201 next to the lift, which meant the room vibrated each time some used the lift. The room decor was dated but functional - underside of the bedspread had been slashed a few times and obvious signs of cigarette burns in furniture despite it being a non smoking room. Chicken curry in the bar was a mixture of chicken / onions / curry powder / gravy and should be avoided. Bar service was prompt and friendly - despite the place being full of 3 or 4 different celebration events and the noise they bring with them. Was woken early by the room next door arguing so packed up and got out of there.

Stale place overall
We tried this place many times due to its location. It has nice views. We understand that its presently being rented out and no longer run by the owner. It is always difficult to get service in the bar because the staff disappear on a regular basis. Most are part-time with little or no experience. The food is only so-so, and clearly the chefs (cooks more like it) have little or no training and there is always a cloud of deep fat fryer oil wafting from the kitchen to the bar. Its cheap and cheerful if thats what you are looking for. Avoid the gents Bar wc...it stinks badly due to defective or blocked underfloor pipework, and there has been no soap in the dispenser for weeks even though we told the hotel receptionist several days ago.

Great Stay
The location of the hotel was great, right on the beach, great for walks or to relax. Howth & Malahide only a few minutes drive away-both lovely for a visit. Hotel was clean, rooms clean, staff very nice, especially the lady on reception, food was lovely & well priced, service good. The bar was nice, view out onto the sea, and it was very lively. Lovely hotel overall & i would definitely recommend it to others.

Start by washing your windows!!
My Partner and i stayed at the white sands hotel Sat.6th April '13 on a voucher deal mainly to avail of the good restaurants and tourist attractions in nearby malahide. We weren't expecting much so weren't overly disappointed to find the hotel a bit outdated. In saying that the place was clean and warm, if a little basic. There was some issues with late night noise from the night club attached to the hotel but we were aware this may have been a problem before we checked in so we weren't too put out, i suspect the night club could be the hotels main source of year round revenue at the expense of the hotel and its guests. Staff were pleasant and food was ok although we did have a bit of a chuckle at the breakfast buffet as it had the feel of a holiday camp about it, we weren't sorry to be packing our bags to leave.Sad really as the hotels location is to die for and with a bit of financial input and tlc i'm sure it could be turned into a very disirable place to stay. Would we go back? ...Probably Not.
