This place was so charming, and everyone who worked there was so friendly, kind and accommodating! I went down to breakfast late one morning because I got stuck in an online meeting. And instead of apologizing and turning me away, the hostess said the cook was gone but she could put together a breakfast from what they had. She came out with coffee, toast, cereal, and fresh fruit! So nice! Same with the concierge. I had a concern with the wifi signal and they immediately moved my room where I could work without issue. The location is perfect- within walking distance to everything. It was a cute room with a desk, and the beds were clean and comfortable. It was really a lovely stay! And I can’t say enough about the amazing staff. Highly recommended!

Heather United States of America

Staff was lovely, breakfast was also very good, and the hotel was beautiful. The restaurant/bar is chill for a drink.

Cristina Netherlands

Excellent breakfast, dinner fine. Staff were brilliant.

Judith Ireland

Lovely staff, so friendly and kind a capable. little bit of an issue with heating in the room, but apart from that, excellent. Dinner with the music was the topper of the day. We will be coming back!

Stijn Belgium

The hotel had such character and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and the entertainment in the hotel pub was great. The singer and Irish dancer were great.

Christine United States of America

Very comfortable hotel - from carpets to beds. Location is also very good, staff helpful.

Tomas Slovakia

It was quiet, good location, friendly staff and affordable. It was clean and the beds were comfy.

Sara United Kingdom

My first need was a room with three beds which was perfect. The location was a wonderful. The breakfast was great and the staff was outstanding. The added bonus was the restaurant and music.

Eu United States of America

Great location. Parking provided behind the hotel (they have to open the gate for you). Nice old-world feel inside, with several restaurants on-site, though we didn't love the food at Castle Vaults. The beds were quite comfortable and the room was quiet despite being in the middle of Dublin.

Nicholas United States of America

The room was well laid out, spotless and very comfortable. The location is practically city centre so it was perfect. The dining area was superb, I ate outside and felt totally safe and relaxed. And I have to say, the staff were excellent, very friendly and accommodating.

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 19th-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 gym and 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.
