Clontarf Castle Hotel  

The castle is so beautiful and the location is excellent. Everything was perfect.

The hotel is beautiful. They did a great job of mixing the castle with a modern building. Staff was great, Dubliners in genreral are the nicest people you will meet in any city in the world. Price was great compared to what a room in the middle of town will cost.

Location, you are only a few miles from town but even with a car it will take you 15-20 minutes. The public transportation is great but after a night in the city I did not want to spend another 30 minutes+ getting back to the room. Breakfast is very expensive and you have to pay for the full breakfast even if you just want toast and coffee. I was over charged by over 200 EUR for my room when I checked out. I was able to get this straightened out after about 15 minutes, I was just glad that I kept the booking confirmation or I would have been stuck paying a lot more for the room. I had noticed when I checked in that another guest was having the same issue so maybe this standard practice?

The ambience; the perfect blending of old and new. The courtesy of staff. Nearness to city.

Lack of a variety of toiletries especially lack of shower-caps, which were made available after a wait of over 20 mins.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. We had the romance package and it was wonderful. From the entrance to the room the hotel exceeded it's reputation, truly a very welcoming hotel and the staff very very polite. We also had dinner at the hotel and that was very nice. Absolutely would go again!

Nice friendly staff Clean rooms Modern decor yet still has a castle feel

Bar opens late!

Nice room.

Front desk staff quite miserable, don't look as if they are happy in their jobs.

It was long time I want to stay in this castle, known in recent history to be one of the most selective cabaret of Dublin, not to far from the cemetery where Bram Stoker was baptised. The entrance and the hall are done with a great taste, a magnificent fireplace its a great welcoming. Rooms was not big but confortable, the surroundings were quiet and we had all we needed, coffee and tea alwasys available. Wireless signal excelent and I was able to hook up phones pads and lap. I spend 4 days at the castle, and everything whent smooth, there was a gym with all the basics, a confortable knight bar, with nice corners where enjoy a perfect stout and imagine of what the athmospere should have been back 500 years back. Last night of my stay I ask at the recepton if I could stay in one of the mini suites, I got upgrade with a smile and that was really a treat! Emazing old style solid wooden bed and an imperial bathroom with a great view from the top of the castle. Almost forgot, if you like running, there is bull island with his endless beach. King of a castle just for one day!

good quality and location

Hotel was excellent

Room was above a service area for the hotel and was noisey during the day

It's a beautiful hotel the mixture of old and new works well, the staff in knights bar are excellent

The cleanliness of the room, curtains hanging off the rail, dusty and the forgotten to fill mini bar, the breakfast felt like a school dinner

My Granddaughter (19) and I stayed there for two nights and found the staff to be especially polite and friendly. The front desk staff went out of their way to show us how to get to places we wanted to see in Dublin. Overall a very good experience.

Rooms were spacious and were very clean with updated amenities. Staff was helpful and wifi was free. Location was a bit outside city, but a bus stop was a short 5-7 minute walk away.

Hotel during our stay the hotel was booked with evening events which caused parking issues if you arrived later in the evening. Friends of ours who were had a room on the second floor complained that the noise from the parties (Fri & Sat nights) could be heard in their room, and it did not cease until 12:30 am. We were located on the third floor but were not bothered by the noise.
