The room and entire hotel were clean and beautiful! The staff was absolutely superb. We ate some appetizers the night we arrived and coffee with scones the next morning. Honestly, due the the amazing staff we stayed on property for breakfast/scones and coffee as opposed to going out for it. 10/10 would stay again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Check-in was very slow as the people working there decided maybe they didn’t have to show up at the checkout counter. Line was long. The rooms are clean pillows are not great and you might as well stay at a holiday Inn.

The Castle far exceeded our expectations. Staying in the center of Dublin is certainly convenient....and noisy, and EXPENSIVE, and in some places unsafe. Our airline canceled our flight, so we had to scramble last-minute to find accommodations. I went with Clontarf strictly based on price & location...and getting away from Temple Bar.
We were blown away from the moment we set foot on property. Our checkin was friendly & quick (thanks Meiko!) our dinner was so relaxing and delicious (yo Adrian!) and Beth made arrangements to keep our bags while we killed time walking around town waiting for our flight. EVERY staff member we interacted with was polite & accommodating. EVERY part of the castle was spotless & beautiful. Even the weather was perfect for our stay!
Thanks so much to everyone working to maintain this amazing historic property. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. We'll definitely be back!🖖
