We were pleasantly surprised by this beautiful hotel! We were immediately greeted with friendly smiles and check in was quick. The lobby is beautiful with real candles lit throughout the lobby and sitting areas. Our room was spacious with comfortable beds and a large bathroom with a separate shower and large bathtub. We had been on the road in Ireland for 5 days and this hotel was luxurious and restful. It is located right off the main road and was easy to find. We attended the Bunratty Castle medieval feast across the street and had a wonderful time- we highly recommend this experience! Our only regret is that we only stayed 1 night!!

The service in the bar was quite slow. When i ordered a glass of wine the girl poured the ends of 3 separate bottles into one glass. Idid ask her for one from a fresh bottle which she was happy to do.
Great location. Lovely pool. Reception staff were so lovely.

Bit of a delay checking in & checking out. A few people were getting a little titchy while queuing & waiting. Could do with an extra staff member on standby.
Loved the location. Staff were extremely friendly, I could tell they were happy, contented employees. The room we had (Junior suite) was lovely & very well equipped. A couple of silly little things like cobwebs around the light, curtain pole fell off but as I said, silly things that wouldn’t put me off returning. Food…excellent.

Breakfast was a disaster!. It was available until 11.30, we went down at 9 and it was empty! Staff were under pressure, hotel was booked out so should have had more staff on to cope with the breakfast. No bread, no juice, fruit, yogurts and what was left in the bain marie were swimming in oil/fat. I ended up having cereal but after paying 14 euro for it, I would have preferred more. I really did feel sorry for the staff. Even though we were on the ground floor, we couldn't open the windows to let in fresh air.
The beds were very comfortable, room very clean but furniture was a little dated. We were on the ground floor and even though the hotel was booked out, there wasn't any noise

The hotel is dated. I booked a executive suite. Room was dated. On check in I was informed that I could either use the Library or the main dining room for breakfast. The library been quieter is where I went to have breakfast, on arrive the staff did all they could and sent me and another couple to the main dining room for our breakfast. We were all puzzeled by this . Why offer the choice if you don't want people to use.

“An excellent hotel with elegance and warmth.”

The only hitches (sorry to mention them but I'm sure you would like to know) were two minor ones. We were on the 4th floor and upon returning to the hotel after the banquet, found that the 4th floor button in the lift was broken and had disappeared into the console. Our in laws who rode up before we did had to go to floor 3 and walk up to 4 but the lady has bad knees. When we went up and saw the problem, we reported it and the young man who I think was the manager took us up in the staff lift. And one tiny tiny little quibble!! We had Eggs Royale and the Veggie breakfast and the poached eggs were hard. But still very tasty.
What a wonderful hotel. We will highly recommend the Bunratty Castle Hotel to all. I chose the hotel because of it's reputation and it's nearness to Bunratty Castle where we were attending the Banquet with our in-laws from Brisbane, Australia. It was their first visit to Ireland and so it was important to us when choosing a hotel that they experienced famous Irish hospitality and elegance. They were very impressed! They said Bunratty Castle Hotel was not only the best hotel they had stayed in around Ireland but the best value and they will be recommending BCH. (they had booked the other hotels themselves because they were driving from Dublin and around the north before coming to us.) To add to the excellent experience, upon arrival we were upgraded to an Executive room with Executive breakfast!
