The Clontarf Castle had been recommended to us by a close friend. It did not disappoint. The beds were wonderful, the staff very helpful and accommodating. The meals we had were excellent. We would gladly stay there again if ever back that way.

I love the artwork and the beautiful furniture. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Karen United States of America

I did like that you can stay in a partial castle hotel ruins. the breakfast was very good and the staff very nice.

Iara United States of America

the desk staff and particularly the Irish maids were some of the absolute friendliest and most hospitable people in Ireland and that’s saying something!

Brian United States of America

clever interior design and adventurous atmosphere. while not a historically authentic castle (mostly built in the 1800s with large modern additions), it’s absolutely worth staying here. our room was spotless and very comfortable and the food was delicious. staff very helpful, lobby and public spaces were fun to explore. enjoyed waking along the coast near the castle.

Marc United States of America

Very efficient and professional reception desk. Appreciated the smiles and the prompt services after a long flight. Bathroom design was excellent and the bed was very comfortable. Facilities were well kept and clean.

Julie United States of America

The history of the property, the helpful staff and very comfortable rooms. The bed and pillows were excellent for getting a good night of rest after a busy day of sightseeing in Dublin.

Kelly United States of America

The ambiance and the hotel itself was awesome. Location to Dublin city Centre was great. Not far by Taxi. The food was good, but at the time we were there the bar was the only option but choices and service was very good.

Mark United States of America

What a beautiful facility and wonderful staff! One of our family members was not feeling well and the staff was so helpful in getting us what we needed to take care of her and the rest of the family.

Caryl United States of America

The entire facility was great. The staff, with the exception of the breakfast staff, were awesome. The breakfast staff were quite unavailable and inattentive.
