Deer Park Hotel Golf & Spa - Dublin

I recommend this Jewel of Howth

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Beautiful location! It is a short walk to the center of Howth and very easy to take the train into Dublin. (there is a free shuttle but the walk was very enjoyable)... The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful...I would have rated "comfort" higher except the pillows were the hardest and heaviest pillows I have ever tried to sleep on!...I […] would stay here again.

We stayed in room 134, no frills like a fridge, ice bucket, iron, blowdryer or digital clock, but they weren't missed. Amazing location for anyone looking to visit Dublin and avoid the inner city chaos. The shuttle was always prompt when requested, and Clevver (the driver) was always helpful and cheerful. The front desk receptionist was almost always […] the same girl, Claire. She was helpful in allowing me an early check in as I had arrived early on an overnight flight, it was a bank holiday weekend, so it wasn't easy to get me in. Only negative was a party that went on til 1am in a function room directly outside our room windows (the function room was a part of the hotel as well)...not a big deal though. Amenities closed early, pool at 10 pm and kitchen at 9 pm. Best surprise about the place was the rhododendron garden, in full bloom may & June...never seen anything like it in my life! Also the remains of a dolmen are within the garden, behind the hotel! Read more

located in a small fishing town, that hosts a great farmer's market on Sundays. The on site golf course and hiking trails through the flower filled hills was breathtaking. Great views of the Eye of Ireland. The bed was much more comfortable than most in Ireland.

Friendly helpful staff, hotel transport to and from village with transport connections, good breakfast, terrific views and comfy bed.

Hotel very dreary, which is a pity as the views surrounding the hotel are fantastic. Could do with a complete overhaul. The shower in our room was poor, the flow of water was dreadful. Breakfast was cold waited for at least 20 minutes for the fruit I ordered.

peaceful location, ideal for exploring Howth with good links to Dublin

Poor street lights and signs on 1st part of driveway into hotel. I had never been there before and found the 1st building in darkness, thinking this was the hotel was quite worring. No clear lit up signs to say that the hotel was actuall on up the driveway! The reception area and corridors to room have very tired decor but room was pleasant and decor […] was fresher. Staff friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the pool facilities. Read more

I love this hotel and have stay a few times but I have to say that it is looking a little tired and in need of some TLC, not helped by the fact that the boiler broke down and there was no hot water for 2 days. I truly hope the owners take some time to improve its condition for the summer season as it is a great location and the staff are really lov […] ely. Read more

Service was great. Bus service down to Howth village is a must. Large room, not so quite though.

Me and my boyfriend were looking for a cheap night away have to say this hotel wasn't great! We were so cold so ended up just staying in the room which was also freezing, dusty with lots of cobwebs!! Food also was not nice

Nice experience, however reception staff could be more helpful and friendly..

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I won't waste time going over old ground from previous reviews but would like to add our experience. We stayed for 3 nights from 12th Oct 2012 in room 140. It was reasonably clean, however the room was very cold and the bathroom was glacial. We asked for heat and were told that radiators would come on at 15.30, however it was actually 17.00 as the […] room is at the end of the line. We asked for and were promised a small heater on 5 occasions before giving up on the (very nice but not helpful) reception staff. We spoke to the manager. He contradicted his staff, stating that the hotel doesn't posess any! He also stated that all communual rooms were heated all day (not true). He did grudgingly offer to advance the heating on Saturday afternoon and this helped somewhat. The setting of the hotel is lovely, however we couldn't enjoy the view from our room, as we needed to keep the curtains firmly closed against the cold air from the window! It's a shame that we could not fully enjoy our stay, as with minimal effort, (such as keeping rooms warm), we would have been repeat visitors. We do visit Ireland fairly regularly due to family ties but will be seeking alternatives for next time.... Read more

Very good and affordable accomodation close to Dublin centre

My husband and i were pleasantly surprised by this hotel, althought it was described by others as needing updated, we found the decore added to the atmosphere of the hotel. Would recommend this hotel to family and friends!

A lovely hotel with very friendly staff. The only down side is the price of drinks in the bar which was always practically empty. When will hotels realise that if they reduced their bar prices to a reasonable level then more people would drink there and that will create a better atmosphere.

I love staying in Howth and this is the only hotel in the area now. I continue to stay there only because of that. The rooms are badly in need of redecorating and updating. The beds are clean and confortable but the bathroom left alot to be desired. There was an infestation of ants in my bathroom. When I tried to contact reception by phone, there was […] no answer! There are only two standard electrical sockets in the rooms, with none near a mirror. There are no hair dryers in the room, so bring your own. All the rest of the sockets are the old round pin type. The last two times I stayed there were signs up apologising for any inconvenience caused during ongoing work, but we didn't see any work going on anywhere in the hotel. Breakfast is organised chaos and any time I've eaten there I've had to return the food as it was cold. Also getting up and finding your own cutlery, salt, pepper, napkins etc. is the norm. The pool and spa are fine and kept in good condition. The front of house staff are great, any time I brought anything to their attention, they did their very best to help. Hotel needs wi-fi throughout too...you might get lucky and be located near a modem and manage to pick up a signal, but not always. Read more

I was surprised how much in need of refurbishment this hotel is. The bar staff was not friendly at all although I think he was foreign and had language difficulties. We could not get room service after 12. No snacks nothing to eat. This hotel is in lovely grounds it really needs updated

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Economic recession and a great discount via Hotels.com resulted in my stay at a hotel and in a location that would be ruled out on grounds of cost in other times. Everyhing (including the warmth of the staff was as expected. Howth is a beautiful area of Dublin with easy access to all parts of the city by means of the nearby light railway, Dublin airport […] is an easy drive.Although not my cup of tea the golf course, swimming pool and theraphies will attract many to this hotel Read more

A beautiful location, lovely hotel. Would stay again.

It is far from Dublin. Period. I only stayed here because of the very good offer during an weekend overnight stay. The staff is friendly and the room was ok. Being at the hotel is quite ok, but it is far from everything. Golfers might find it good, but I'll not stay here again. I do appreciate the free parking and the pool and training fascilities, […] but I do not appreciate the expensive breakfast as it was not worth it. Read more

Wir waren für nur 1 Nacht im Deer Park Hotel und sind nach Mitternacht angekommen. Der Check-in war absolut freundlich und super schnell, obwohl wir den Nachtportier rausklingeln mussten. Für ein 3Sterne Hotel muss ich sagen, war ich absolut positiv überrascht. das DoppelZimmer war gross - wir hatten noch ein Zusatzbett und ebenfalls einen Schreibtisch […] und Beistelltisch. Die Aussicht mit der wir am nächsten Morgen aufwachten war absolut gigantisch - direkter Blick auf den Golfcourse. und in der Ferne Meer und Dublin. am besten von allem, es war absolut ruhig. man hörte nichts während der Nacht. das Bad war rel. neu und ebenfalls geräumig. und sauber. das Hotel ist schon älter und die Einrichtung daher nicht mehr so ganz neu, aber wie gesagt - einen 3Sterne Standard trifft es auf alle Fälle. vermutlich hätte es mehr Sterne, wenn es renoviert würde. Schwimmbad, Fitness und Sauna haben wir nur von weitem gesehen, aber der Pool war sehr gross. Das Hotel liegt abseits auf dem Berg, daher fährt man am besten mit dem Auto ran. Read more

L'hotel commence à vieillir un peu mais les prestations sont de qualités. La piscine avec sauna hamam, cours d'aquagym, salle de sport/muscu avec cours c'est assez bien fait. L'hotel est bien situé pour les joueurs de Golf. Toutefois un gros bémol : absence d'eau chaude le matin du déport pour l'aéroport du à un probleme de pompe à chaleur. Cela peut […] arriver mais nous avons pour seule réponse : désolé. même pas une attention particulière type petit déjeuné offert. Rien. On a du se laver à l'eau froide. Pour un hotel que se veut un peu classe c'est correct. Donc ceci justifie la note. Read more

Occorrono circa 15 minuti a piedi dalla stazione di Hawth all'ingresso dell'Hotel. La stazione è il punto di arrivo, e di partenza, per il centro di Dublino, servito da un efficiente collegamento ferroviario di superficie (DART). Sia il percorso in treno che la passeggiata per l'Hotel sono gradevolissimi e parte integrante della vacanza (almeno in estate). […] Ottimo lo staff dell'Hotel, persone che svolgono il lavoro con un eccellente mix di professionalità e spontaneità, a me hanno fatto una gran simpatia. Buona la cucina. Nel complesso le 3 stelle sono ingannevoli, dovrebbero essere almeno 4, addirittura 5 per chi gradisce i letti morbidi (unica pecca per me). Read more

Das Hotel ist sehr schoen gelegen, der Golfcourse laesst auch fast keine Wuensche offen. Dafuer waren die Zimmernotduerftig. Keine Klimaanlage, kein Foen, nur regionales Fernsehprogramm, kein Radio und das Bad war in keinem schoenen Zustand (herausgeplatze Fugen, keine Abluft). Um das Haus wo die Tennisplaetze sind, stand Geruempel, das keine schoene […] Ansicht bietet. Kein Lift fuer Handycaps oder Kinderwaegen. Der Service und die Hilfsbereitschaft war dafuer wieder sehr gut und die Gegend und das Fischerdorf Howth sind sagenhaft schoen - die Anbindung nach Dublin sehr gut, schnell und unkompliziert. Alles in allem eine gute drei! Read more
