Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Set a bit apart from the bustle of central Dublin. Early continental breakfast is a great idea for people going out on tours.

This elegant Georgian hotel in Dublin city center is just 2 minutes' walk from O' Connell Street and very close to Temple Bar, it offers rooms with private bathrooms, a restaurant/bar with evening entertainment, and free Wi-Fi. The recently renovated Castle Hotel is steeped in sophisticated Georgian style, featuring original, sweeping staircases, crystal chandeliers, antique mirrors and marble fireplaces. Rooms at The Castle Hotel are individually designed to reflect the elegance of the building and have hairdryers, direct dial telephones, tea/coffee making facilities and TVs. The Castle Vaults bar/restaurant has an exposed vaulted ceiling which was part of the original 18th-century wine cellars. It offers modern cuisine, a pre-theater menu and an evening à la carte menu, along with live traditional Irish music around weekends. The Old Music Shop restaurant is located in a Georgian Room overlooking Findlater's 19th-century Gothic Revival Church. It offers an all-day menu of pizza, pasta, salads and gourmet sandwiches. A pre-theater and evening menu is also available. The hotel has its own secure private car park. The Aircoach Dublin Airport Bus stops just 3 minute's walk away. Croke Park, The Hugh Lane art Gallery, The Garden of Remembrance, The Abbey and Gate theaters and the James Joyce Cultural Center are all a short walk away.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.
