Located just 15 minutes outside the center of Dublin and only 25 minutes from the Dublin Airport, the Sandymount has been a family-run hotel since 1955. The hotel is constructed from eight interconnected Victorian houses, which were originally built in 1866, and were homes of the aristocracy of Dublin. The homes became a hotel in 1955 and eventually were interconnected to expand from four guestrooms to the current 169 guestrooms. Sandymount Hotel is considered one of the last remaining family-run hotels in Dublin.

The Sandymount Hotel is situated next to Aviva Stadium, home to Ireland’s soccer and rugby teams, and where concerts are often performed. The train station into Dublin and Sandymount Village are within walking distance as well. The guestrooms are spacious and offer double and single beds in the same room, as well as free Wi-Fi and free parking. The onsite restaurants serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the kids receive a cool activity pack at check-in.

Sandymount can accommodate larger families and is a hotel to visit when you want to be just close enough to the center of Dublin while also avoiding the city congestion.

There are 169 modern guestrooms from which to choose, all available in a variety of bed configurations. Families of five or more can easily be accommodated here. None of the rooms offer air conditioning, but the windows open slightly. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Rollaway beds are available upon request at an additional cost.
