to get started.

There was a server in Knights Bar, Elaine, she was wonderful. The bar was so busy and she had no help for most of our visit there. She was always smiling and friendly. She took care of a lot of tables. This was our second stay in a week. It was the same both times. She really made you feel welcome.

Breakfast was great, and the hotel has a very nice bar and restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is charming, located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. It was an easy taxi ride into downtown Dublin. This was an ideal accommodation for our family.

I wasn't too sure if the hotel would actually have an authentic castle, but it does have part of a castle! The and restaurants have been built around the castle portion. The hotel has a lot of artwork and nice decor as well. Rooms were nice and clean with updated restrooms and technology. They even had a U.S. style outlet in the room! I don't think it was 110 volt, but a least I didn't need an adapter to charge my phone.

They had two restaurants to choose from. Rooms were clean. Bar and restaurant staff were very attentive and although the drive had a lot of twists and turns it’s not too far to the airport.

Karen

United States of America

Generally good. Coffee was somewhat bitter compared to most other places. And did not stay hot in the metal pots. Tables are crowded together making the buffet style somewhat awkward and noisy.

Donna

The ambiance was amazing. Staff was very accomodating and friendly. The art was beautiful. I loved that they gave history of the castle along with current events and maps.

Allison

This place is absolutely fabulous! Beautiful building, lovely decor, friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Very easy to get into Dublin center by local bus, short walk from the hotel.

We truly enjoyed staying at Clontarf Castle. Very close to town where great food can be found. There is an Insomnia Cafe very close by. For those unaware, Insomnia is similar to Starbucks. There is a food mart close by too where you can grab essentials and some food that does not require refrigeration. The shower there is great! Pressure, design the whole deal. Daughter was VERY impressed.

“Wasn’t worth the cost”

I was given a room with floor tiles in the washroom not connected to the floor in the washroom and a big stain in the tub. I stayed twice in the week. First night the room was great. No complaints. The second time I had this room with the washroom that should have been completed in renovation before being booked. Funny enough, I ordered both stays at the same time and same room type. Extremely disappointed and have decided not to do my wedding there in the spring. I wasn’t impressed. Also it took three calls to room service and two calls to front desk to get someone to answer and when they finally did, they brought the wrong order to my room.

The distance to Dublin City was the only deterrent it as long as you planned your days it wasn’t a huge deal.
The accommodations were lovely. Every detail was perfect. Our breakfast buffet was very good and lots of choices. We went to the Knights Bar a few times and always left very satisfied. I loved looking at their art collection as well as the history of the castle.Can’t recommend the Clontarf Castle Hotel enough
