Hotel offers stunning views across the water. Room was not that clean but for the price it was acceptable. Staff were great though. Breakfast was a bit average and 'mass produced'. Great to have such a good spa and gym right there though. All in all I enjoyed my stay.

Booked hotel as base for visiting the excellent Dublin Bay Prawn Festival. Stunning quiet location, warm welcome at check-in and lovely sea view room overlooking golf course. 15 mins walk through lovely parkland and past Howth Castle brings you to the harbour area, also where the station is so handy for taking the Dart into Dublin. Breakfast was good but... More

Dear Guest, We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Dublin Bay Prawn Festival and your stay with us. I am sorry if the bedroom was too warm – the radiators do have thermostats and we will get maintenance to make sure they are all working properly. I am not sure what you mean about the swimming pool because... More

I have been here with my wife and my two daughters, and another family of four. We had a great weekend, rooms where ok, restaurant good, fantastic value over all. The swimming poll was very clean, wet and dry sauna beside the pool. Strongly recommend.

I had heard that they had done the place up - well it must have been in an area that I didn't see. The bedrooms were comfortable but shabby & old. There was only 1 3 pin plug socket in my room - all the rest were 2 pin ones. I was part of a large group and dinner on... More

Dear Guest, I apologise if you felt the service at dinner was a bit slow for your group. Deer Park is not a modern purpose built hotel – we are in fact open forty years. Over the years the hotel has been developed, adding more bedrooms and facilities such as swimming pool, gym and spa. Guests staying at Deer Park... More

Stayed here for two nights. Loved the location. Great surroundings. A little far for walking to the town in the evenings however. Rooms a bit tired and dated, but surroundings do make up for that. I'd say visit in summer.... but if I were visiting Howth again I might look to stay elsewhere and simply visit this hotel to enjoy... More

This hotel is a little tired and certainly needs a facelift but dont let that put you off altogether, overall it wasnt bad and the location, price and Howth itself makes up it (surprisingly there arent many places to stay around Howth).

As other reviewers have said, the hotel could do with a bit of a revamp but it is clean and the location is magnificent. We had a nice view of Ireland's Eye from the rooms.

Spent just one night here with my wife primarily to gorge on the excellent seafood restaurants on the quays. Having spent forty years in the hospitality business the first thing that struck me was the lack of hospitality. The greeting (?) was cold and mechanical. We had toyed with the idea of trying the restaurant in the hotel and luckily... More

Sometimes when we get reviews it is difficult to investigate claims made against us and we have to take on board some unfair allegations which we cannot always prove to be incorrect.
