Great hotel. Family room was perfect for the 5 of us.

Jamie United States of America

the people working there were super nice ! the location was perfect for us. close enough to town but away from it enough we didn’t have all the noise. it was a 5 minute walk to town.

Sherry United States of America

Charming hotel with a great history behind the intriguing architecture. Conveniently located near O'Connell Street. Great breakfast offerings (either full Irish in a restaurant setting or a generous breakfast buffet (espresso drinks available). Friendly and helpful staff.

Carol United States of America

location, clean, very friendly staff, food was excellent

Catherine Canada

location was perfect, interior was wonderfully interesting the staff was very helpful and kind. the bar and restaurant were super convenient and had each their own charms.

Bryan United States of America

The room was a family room. It was clean had a double and two twin beds. We had a choice of breakfast (continental or full irish - could swap any day).

Fred United States of America

Great location: Across from Remembrance Park, the bus line, walking distance to all the main sights and attractions, and under a block from a couple excellent restaurants (Chapter One and Mr Fox’s, etc). Buses that stop nearby took us to Trinity College, Kilmainham gaol, and anywhere else we needed to go and didn’t feel like walking. Inside the hotel is comfortable and well decorated with lots of little furnished nooks and crannies to discover and plant yourself with a nice book and a cup of tea or a whiskey from the bar. Staff is friendly and helpful. This is an old building, and it seems to be a former residence that has been converted into a hotel (though I dont know for sure), so you need to expect that it lacks a modern feel—but that includes the sterility of modern spaces, as well. Overall, a wonderful find and a great place to serve as your home base as you explore Dublin or to relax if you choose to lay around for a couple days. The continental breakfast was very nice.

Stay in the heart of Dublin – Excellent location – show map

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 747 Airlink airport shuttle stops just 1 minute 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.

This is our guests' favorite part of Dublin, according to independent reviews.
