Clontarf Castle Hotel

We were thrilled with the reception staff. Not overwhelmed with a young man in the bar area where we had dinner. Never checked on us and left his shift without a word. Had a lovely lady the next night when we went in for drinks. The staff at the breakfast in the morning where not overly helpful and never brought us coffee the first day. Had to ask the manager after 3 failed attempts to get some. He was amazing and checked on us the next morning to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall we loved our stay. I mean, it's a castle!! Our room was nice and quiet, we asked for robes and feather pillows which were brought up right away. Our room was made while we were at breakfast. We took our hotel given waters with us to head out for the day. Once we returned, we found fresh waters had been resupplied. We would definitely go back. ITS a CASTLE after all.

We loved the room and the overall hotel decor! Our bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was perfect, and the view was magical with the castle and water view. We also really enjoyed the onsite restaurants (especially for lunch/dinner)—especially the caramel cheesecake!

Room was spotless and very comfortable Hotel overall is a great

The hotel was beautiful. The staff was very helpful.

Our stay was everything we hoped and so much more, but I can’t even begin to express what a wonderful hotel this is. This is a luxury hotel experience where their attentive care to guests happens at every step. Even after you leave. I left my wedding ring on the bathroom sink and only realized when I was at the airport. After a quick call and a 30 minute wait they called me back saying they could not find it. That is more any reasonable person could ask for, but when I landed, I received an email informing me that their staff found it. Turns out they checked twice (unprompted!) and found it on the second try. This hotel is the envy of anyone who we’ve shown it to - even before we left. I’ve been asked by several people where this is and how in the world we found it. The pictures online simply do not do it justice. It made our stay in Dublin unforgettable. Their breakfast buffet is delightful, and so much care and effort was put in the design of the hotel and the guest experience. From the adorable illustrations that honour the history of the castle, to comprehensive booklets, to a tour of their impressive art collection, to the design of the rooms. You will not regret staying here! If the location is a concern, we didn’t have a car, and found walking to nearby places and cabs downtown was perfect. We never waited more than 5 minutes for a cab. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. We definitely see ourselves coming back!
