03/11/2025: Sunday lunch is good value and service is excellent.

30/09/2025: What a disgusting food. I had fish, I was looking at the kitchen, totally dirty, I think was a chinese and Irish serving, SO DIRTY!

07/01/2026: Stayed here for a one night getaway with my husband with spa, 4 course dinner and breakfast. Loved the spa's thermal suites, and the hotel. It was a proper hotel where they still provided slippers, robe and the little toiletries. I have missed those in my recent travels. The food at the restaurant was amazing and the service was awesome. We got on with the service manager Kieran (sorry if I spelled his name incorrectly) and he was so easy to talk to and a really nice fellow. Would 100% recommend this hotel for a romantic getaway. You won't be disappointed.

02/01/2026: This is a 2 star hotel with a 4 star reception area. Very disappointed with the Maryborough from the moment we left the reception area. The entire hotel is just run down. The rooms where very gruby with handprints, chips and paint splatter on the walls (see photos). Some of the light switches just didn't work either. The switch for the reading light didn't work on my side but did on my partners. As you can see in the pics, very amateur wiring done on the back of the headboard. Our room was headboard to headboard with the adjacent room which must also have had the same botch job done of sealing the wall as we could hear every word that was said in the other room. Spa was what really drove me to write this review. Very very unkept, not dirty, just unkept. Thermal room had a plastic bag and 2 cups floating in the water which I had to bin. The whole time we waited for our treatments not one member of staff came in to do a check, or clean. Relaxation beds were broken and gruby. The service in general was very very poor. Breakfast has a set menu but good luck getting anyone to take your order, and god forbid you ask for something additional because you will be in for a long wait. Staff write down your order and just never come back. Simple things like "can I get ketchup" just don't happen until the 4th time asking. Overall the staff were rude and unhelpful, not making room to move in the bar, or restaurant just barging passed because what they are doing is very important. They aren't very welcoming either. If you're unhappy working over new years get another job.

01/02/2026: Worst breakfast I have had in a while ! The porridge and scrambled eggs were terrible. The milk smelled bad as if it was expired. We couldn't even finish the food

31/01/2026: Good service by Ahmet wonderful man great bar staff was quick poured a amazing pint and super friendly

05/02/2026: Here you can eat the freshest calamari and asparagus. Five stars for the service too. We had Alain at our table, a super friendly and knowledgeable waiter who speaks excellent English and, surprisingly, also excellent Italian. The atmosphere is very nice; a nice stop here in Howth!

29/01/2026: Thank you for your work, people of Howth and waitresses. A perfect 10/10.

20/01/2026: Thank you for the great service and delicious food you supplied for our event here in the Dealership. You certainly made the day very special, compliments were flying for the delicious food!

02/01/2026: Called in for new-years lunch; to treat myself, first day back at work. So glad I found this cozy little spot! The staff are just so welcoming & friendly (even when their so busy!) Treated every customer like family, no wonder it was full of locals. Food was hot & tasty, served speedy. I got dessert to go, because it was a busy period didnt want to hold a table for just me... Highly recommend Chicken wrap & almond/pear tart. Their window display for Christmas was amazing too. So worth a visit. Ill definately be back x

20/01/2026: Went to Layla’s Rooftop Restaurant with a group of 7 friends for dinner, most of us being vegetarians, and we had a fantastic time! The food was absolutely delicious with plenty of good vegetarian options, and the presentation was beautiful. The service was attentive and friendly, and the overall ambience was perfect for a relaxed evening with friends. Loved the rooftop view as well — made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a lovely atmosphere!

11/01/2026: Very slow to take our order. Good value but poached eggs were overcooked. Thankfully, an attentive member of staff spotted this and immediately rectified the problem by taking them back and bringing us some freshly cooked poached eggs. Coffee was ok and the fresh juice was very refreshing.

18/01/2026: Excellent food and great value. The roast lamb is out of this world.

05/09/2025: Amazing food and great atmosphere! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully served. Definitely one of the best places I’ve tried — highly recommend!👌

30/12/2025: Lovely family friendly hotel with friendly staff, great service and beautifully appointed room with lake and sea views! Rooms are very clean, spacious and modern with good sustainability practices! Had a family dinner in the Pottery restaurant which was excellent. Food was delicious and service outstanding, all overseen by the impeccable Nuno who is a credit to the hotel.

26/12/2025: Paid €5 for a portion of chips at the Arklow Bay Hotel and was genuinely shocked by how small it was — it would have fit on a saucer. On top of that, they weren’t even cooked properly. I felt completely robbed. My sister ordered a half roast dinner for €15, which actually looked nice and was good value, making the chips even more disappointing. Absolutely ridiculous portion for the price. Would not order again.

05/12/2025: I love the hotel and I always stay here. Monique is a lovely staff and showed me the buffet. Raphaela is an amazing manager and I also have met the chef Lucas during my stay, amazing food and buffet service. Happy to be here again!!!

04/12/2025: What a huge disappointment. The room is the size of a closet. We stayed here twice before and the rooms were spacious and beautiful. Not so this time. And we checked in at 4 pm, so it's not like they ran out of decent rooms. The new kiosks weren't working right either.

06/01/2026: Excellent place for food . Highly recommend 👌👌

01/01/2026: We had high expectations coming into this restaurant considering the authentic Italian background of the restaurant owners. My partner ordered the margarita pizza and I ordered the gluten free “Boscaiola”- the pasta was cooked great however the chicken and the bacon bits were chewy and had 0 flavour - the sauce lacked flavour and to top if off it was microwaved ! The waiter didn’t even insist to ask all was okay with the food although my food was pretty much left as it was served. My partner thought the pizza was average at best. Tomato base was nice and the mozzarella was fresh. But the dough was poor for a Neapolitan pizza and it was overcooked.

19/09/2025: Really nice DJ and good vibe also staff really friendly Highly recommended

06/08/2025: Fantastic cocktails and a great atmosphere. There is lots of seating in different areas throughout the space.

25/12/2025: First time being here last week , vibes were so fab , lovely atmosphere, staff were lovely , they were understaffed and kept us up to date with the delay and gave us some crisps to nibble while waiting for food , the croquettes were Devine and deserts lovely , we will define be back would recommend for date night 💙

23/12/2025: Lots of room for improvement... I am not sure if the chef that was working the night we dined was trained. Or maybe someone had just described the dishes down the phone to them, but it really was very poor. The patatas bravas had not seen a frier, the chicken tasted boiled and then reheated, while the prawns contorted themselves into curly fries from the intense heat they were cooked in. The wait staff were lovely in fairness to them, and did lots of apologizing for their kitchen. Neither the food or the wine (likely from carry out across the road) set them up for success. Won't be recommending, and definitely won't be going back. Save yourself the trouble and go to the Chinese across the road instead, it probably doesn't have a floor of towels soaking up God knows what in the bathroom.

28/09/2025: Very friendly staff, clean, comfortable slightly old style rooms. Perfect for what we needed and beautiful views. Irene was very friendly and full of local knowledge. She is also an exceptional chef and the breakfast was stunning. The breakfast was served at a leisurely pace and everything was delicious. A relaxing start to the day. We hope to come back again.

09/09/2025: Very hospitable and friendly people. Quaint location. Had a room overlooking an inlet so could watch the tides. The place is a little dated, but the people make up for it. Food was terrific as well.

05/02/2026: Fantastic historic castle, spooky in a nice way.Great food and friendly staff 😋

03/02/2026: Beautiful room & grounds with walking trails. Friendly staff. Highly recommend

06/02/2026: I was served by Anna, Katie and Reece, excellent servers who provided good quality customer service. Food was good, and moderately priced, very much a sports pub vibe so if that’s what you’re into it’ll be perfect for you

04/02/2026: Second time in here now and it’s still brilliant. Lovely friendly staff, great atmosphere, AND the food is top notch for the price. Busy enough but well run and well worth it. Won’t be my last visit.
