Absolutely Appalling – Avoid at All Costs I recently stayed at the Shoreline Hotel in Dublin and can honestly say it was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at any hotel. The property is in a disgusting state of disrepair – paint peeling, sticky floors, and bathrooms with brown-stained walls that looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The toilets were filthy and clearly not maintained. Even the grounds were strewn with rubbish, giving a first impression that only got worse. The front of house staff were unprofessional and indifferent, bordering on rude. The car park – supposedly offered as part of our stay – was full of rubbish and rusting bikes apparently belonging to staff who are actually living in the guest rooms. That alone is highly inappropriate and unacceptable for paying guests. Despite written confirmation that we could leave our car parked for a few weeks, I received a call a day later to say the car had been clamped, and now they are threatening to remove it entirely. I’ve sent multiple emails and they are now refusing to reply. This is not just bad service – it borders on harassment. As for the food – €110 for a single portion of fish and chips, a plate of vegetables, and two drinks is outrageous, especially when the quality was disgusting Greasy, bland, and clearly reheated – not remotely close to restaurant standard. The overall behaviour and condition of this hotel are disgraceful.

The rooms need an update. No fans or air conditioning. Bed was very hard and slopping. Bathroom small without a fan and a very bad smell.

The toilet doesn’t flush very well. It was backing up from the first use. Reported to the front desk and they sent help quickly to attend to it. The sheets weren’t spotless. You can tell that it was laundered and pressed but there were stains. The coffee/tea caddy could do with a good dusting/wipe. Fiona at the front desk was wonderful. So welcoming courteous and friendly. The complimentary breakfast was lovely. Unfortunately I was brought a cup of coffee when I asked for tea. Not a huge deal but a little attention could go a long way.

This was a perfect place for our last night in Ireland. Beers by the ocean on the patio and dinner in the dining room. Our room was seaside and we were able to hear the waves as we drifted off to sleep. Very peaceful!
