Location was perfect with beautiful views. Staff were wonderful and very accommodating
Location was excellent, food was incredibly fresh and conveniently located. Absolutely loved my last minute booking and overall experience!
staff were amazing, food was excellent, and we saw dolphins from the view in our room
The room was very comfortable and we loved listening to the waves at night. Wonderful location. Friendly and helpful staff. Unexpected and delicious breakfast in their restaurant, which was includednin our stay. Hotel driver took us to the ferry port. Didn't have to worry about a thing! Looking forward to our next stay!
There wasn't anything that we didn't like.
Location was perfect and the room was spacious and clean

Encore une belle surprise sur notre parcours. Un petit hôtel charmant vue mer. Un accueil adorable et un service impeccable. Nous y avons déjeuner devant le restaurant dans leur petit abri et dîner en terrasse. Le homard était parfaitement préparé. Un régal. C'était la fin de nos vacances et nous sommes restés sur un merveilleux souvenir de l'irlande. Départ à pied vers la pointe et vue sur les iles et Dublin. Port animé.

Beautiful room, extremely helpful staff, delicious fresh seafood and excellent beer.
We loved everything and will be booking again.
Loved the view from our room! Good location for seeing sights. Staff was mixed, some helpful, others not.
Breakfast was bland, spread out on their bar, no sneeze guards Watched several guests use their hands. Quality of food for what we paid was disappointing.
Nice place to stay out of the mayhem of Dublin. Also great if heading to the airport.
Dublin and surrounding area are pricey!
Freundliches Personal und saubere Zimmer
Vriendelijk personeel, mooie ruime kamer met heerlijke koffie en zeezicht, heerlijk ontbijt.
Great location, wonderful warm welcome as always, very comfortable beds and a brilliant breakfast.
Sehr freundliche Leute vor Ort. Herzlicher Empfang und dazu noch Hundefreundlich! Schöne, moderne, grosszügige Zimmer. Mit Meerblick. Ein Fantastisches „Seafood“-Restaurant.

The staff were super friendly and considerate. We had a view of the sea which was amazing and wonderful to fall asleep to the sound the rushing of the waves. The breakfast was superb. Everything waa very clean. Nice touch that the bathroom also had conditioner not only shampoo and body wash. Great location too. Easy to reach everything.
We were very scared of knocking the beautiful framed picture above the headboard off. It was quite large so sitting up in bed was made a little more perilous. Could be easily by swapping it for one of the other beautiful picures in the room, which seemed smaller.
Great location right on the water, updated and modern bathrooms, amazing breakfast and brilliant seafood at the attached restaurant, and the friendliest, most helpful people.
That we were only staying one night! Next time we will not make that mistake.
Great location.
Terrific views, lovely staff, great location to set off for the Howth cliff walk.
I'm never a fan of carpet in a hotel, though this seemed clean enough. The room is quite small, but for our single night's stay, it was fine. The fruit on the breakfast bar seemed off (sour and unpleasant), but the porridge was good, and the fresh coffee very good.

Mooie, ruime kamer. Zeer goed, comfortabel bed. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
Er was geen lift maar het personeel helpt om de bagage naar boven te krijgen. Geen safe, haardroger noch minibar op de kamer.
In dieser Unterkunft hat es an nichts gefehlt. Es gibt absolut nichts zu bemängeln.
Personnel Très sympathique

Perfect location
Very small rooms, could be cleaner. Bed not comfortable
The views and room were amazing. Food was exceptional. The little additions were very good, robes, slippers, chocolates.
I struggle with coffee machines. But that’s me not the hotel. Lol
Frühstück war sehr gut und die Zimmer sehr sauber die Lage ist ideal zum mit dem Bus nach Dublin zu fahren oder Wanderungen direkt Vorort zu machen.
Nous avons adoré notre séjour, acceuil très sympathique, chambres adorables et très bien équipées , très bon petit déjeuner irlandais , super emplacement, nous reviendrons

Excellent location, food, decor, staff, comfort.
Great see view and beds were really comfy
Hard getting bags upstairs if you are not very mobile. Food wasn’t the best as I was really looking forward to it !
The location was exceptional with a great view of the harbor. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again if I was to come back to Ireland.

We had such a great stay at the King Sitric. Staff were wonderful. Our room was outstanding the 'Oyster Island' bedroom. Highly recommend.
Sehr schönes großes Zimmer ( deluxe), gutes Frühstück
Schöne, große Zimmer mit dem besten Bett des Urlaubs. Geschmackvoll! Toll für die letzte Nacht vor der Abreise mit dem Flieger.
Hellhörig - und die Parksituation ist im Sommer sehr schwierig. Die Halbinsel ist überfüllt. Ab 17 Uhr wird es leerer. Vorher keine Chance!
Sehr schönes Hotel. Direkt am Hafen und wundervoller Blick aufs Meer. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Gutes Frühstück. Wir haben abends noch im Restaurant gegessen, sehr zu empfehlen.
早餐非常優秀,房間也佈置得非常的好看,床非常的好睡
我的房間是面向走道,永遠都會有台車停在窗戶前面擋住視線

Beautiful location. The room was absolutely exceptional. I was in the oyster Island room. It was very roomy with beautiful details and plenty of places to lounge. I wish I would’ve stayed here longer.

The view and amazing food
Wir danken der freundlichen Empfangsdame für die herzliche Kommunikation! Das Zimmer war sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und das Frühstück bot viele Möglichkeiten! Ein kostenloser Parkplatz direkt vor der Tür war wunderbar! Howth ist ein süßer Ort mit vielen Möglichkeiten - ein guter Start für uns bei traumhaftem Wetter! Mit dem DART ist man schnell in Dublin - wir waren wegen eines Konzerts in Malahide dort - die Erreichbarkeit war fantastisch!
Nicht gerade günstig - aber für Dublin insgesamt noch im Rahmen.
The location of this hotel is just about perfect. The harbor is right there. It's about 30 minutes from the airport so super convenient for a final stay in the Dublin area. The hotel has a superb restaurant serving local seafood. Also perfect!
Very comfy and clean little hotel, perfectly situated in howth. Great breakfast, friendly Staff. Thank you !

Lovely staff especially our breakfast server Cliona. Such a lovely, chatty girl. Well set out rooms, excellent food.
Nothing really to complain about, more personal issue that bed was a little too hard. Again more personal than a real issue.
We absolutely loved our visit to King Sitric. Dinner upon arrival was great, ice cream next door was tasty and the room was very comfortable and conveniently located. The only downside was I wish we could’ve stayed longer!
Great location being very literally on the bay and right next to the cliff side trails and marina. Excellent restaurant below the rooms with breakfast included in your stay.
Room was a wee bit smaller than expected and price per night can be a little expensive but worth it depending on how much you love the surrounding area.
Beautiful location right on the end of town. Our window seat overlooking the ocean was our favorite.
I had to pay an extra 120€ for my teenage daughters to share a small hard pull out sleeper sofa.
Very helpful, friendly staff and love the fact that it is so dog friendly! Will deffo return soon!
Nothing to note.
The views and the room was stunning

nichts auszusetzen
Locatie was top, direct aan zee. Rustig. Ruime en luxe kamers met alles erop en eraan. Op loopafstand van station voor trip naar Dublin. Vriendelijk personeel
Lovely sea view. food was delicious. Relaxing stay.
Lovely place, great location, very convenient with the seafood bar on the premises. (Had an amazing meal there, be sure to book!) Breakfast was very nice. The people who work there are lovely and will help you with the smallest and biggest things. Couldn't have had a better stay! We had a deluxe room and had an amazing view over the water.
Leider waren wir nicht informiert, dass an diesem Wochenende ein Festival vor der Haustüre des Hotels stattfand. Die Anfahrt brachte viel Geduld und es war schwierig einen Parkplatz zu finden, ansonsten hat es nicht gestört.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich, Essen ist spitze und die Lage an der Bucht perfekt
Tolles geräumiges Zimmer mit vollem Komfort
Beautiful location,staff extremely friendly.
Lovely food,and rooms very clean
It was close to the train station.
Parking near the hotel is limited.
The food,friendly staff,seals,sea views. Ease of access to Dublin
Noise from kitchen.
There was plenty of parking nearby, the breakfast was great and the staff was very friendly. We had dinner that evening in the restaurant and it was superb. GREAT SEAFOOD.
