very quiet place, exellent room

braekfast price was very high

Clean and modern rooms, housed within impressive building. Friendly and helpful staff. Had difficulty with location directions. (99912473)

Impressive building, cosy bar area

realtive remoteness to Dublin City centre

The only complaint we had was that when we went to make a reservation for dinner in the dining room, we were told that the earliest sitting would be 8:30pm as the kitchen was busy with a private party prior to that. I don't think that it is right that a private party should inconvenience the hotel guests. Other than that the experience was first rate. (3304206945)

THe fact that it was built around a castle.

WE WOULD DEFINATELY BOOK AGAIN AND THE WARM WELCOME FROM THE STAFF WAS INCREDIBLE AND THEY WHERE SO HELPFULL AS THIS WAS OUR FIRST STAY IN DUBLIN, A VERY THOUGHTFULL STAFF TEAM AND MUCHLY APPRECIATED THANK YOU !! (2980273)

THE LITTLE EXTRAS WHICH GIVE THE MAGIC TOUCH

NOTHING, IT WAS FABULOUS

Still a very enjoyable stay, would like to have known more about the room options available and lack of leisure facilities. (3304332897)

Nice surroundings, beautiful building, friendly & helpful staff

Room too small, no air conditioning, no on site leisure facilities.

A nice weekend break in a city centre hotel without the hassle of the city centre.you are only 10 mins. from centre by taxi.the setting, the history, the sheer wonder of the castle itself lends itself to a very special time. (3304499545)

Good car park, wonderfull foyer, really breathtaking, Staff really friendly and helpfull.Anice weekend

The room was a little bit smaller than i thought it would be for the money that you were paying.

My husband and I would stay at the Clontarf Castle again - our room was nice, clean and quiet. We ate in both the bar and the bistro and found the food to be quite good. We enjoyed the whole atmosphere of the hotel. Getting downtown was no problem on the city bus once we knew our way around the bus stops. Thank you for a pleasant stay in Dublin! (2928703)

Our room was just the right size, clean and very quiet.

We took the public bus into town everyday using our purchased 5 day visitor bus pass. We were told the bus stop was right by the entry to the hotel. We stood there until a bus went right by us, made the circle and then proceeded down the street to the real bus stop. The stop right by the entry is the last bus stop. To catch it to go downtown you must go out, turn left and walk about 1/2 block down to the first bus stop on the route. Also, if you come out the gate and turn right and then take the first street to the left (and walk down to Clontarf) you can save yourself about 10 minutes that it takes the bus to go all the way around the route. Perhaps in the folder in the room the bus directions could be written out.

The staff were very friendly and the food and drink were of a good standard. The consierge was extremely helpful. The toiletries were of poor quality and the towels were quite small. The handrail over the bath made it very awkward when having a shower as you kept knocking your arm on it. I would like to have known that some rooms had skylights instead of 'proper' windows so that I could request my choice before arrival. Overall a very pleasant place to spend a weekend. (3304098914)

The atmosphere of the hotel - and the Guinness!!

Leisure facilities would be a good addition to this hotel. An airport shuttle would also be a good idea.

The hotel has a great ambience and a very welcoming atmosphere. (3304283351)

Rooms spacious and tastefully decorated

Dining facilities

Generally for us the hotel represented poor quality and value for money for 4 star status. The room was small and smelled musty/damp and was not at all what I expected. I thought I had booked 2nights B&B through the website however discovered at checkout that it was room only and was charged an extraordinary price for 2mornings breakfasts. The fixtures and fittings in the ensuite bathroom required maintenance, the fan would come on in the morning and waken us and the room was cold at night. Overall a complete letdown. (3304265206)

Good breakfast

Musty, damp smell in room. Small room. Very cold at night. No control over bathroom fan which came on in the morning and woke us. Broken/ Faulty fixtures & fittings (bathroom taps & lock)

We loved this hotel, the staff were not only efficient, but very helpful and friendly, it seemed as if they enjoyed helping us, which made a pleasant change. The hotel was delightful and so clean, the beds were lovely and comfortable. It is just outside of Dublin city centre, so was ideal for anyone who wanted a peaceful nights sleep. Not a place for the young who want to party all night, which suited us and my parents. (2612594)

very clean with a good atmosphere, the staff were better than in any other hotel in this country and around the world.

Bar menu, also the cost of the breakfast I would have prefered an itemised menu so I could have chosen a light breakfast with a price to match

Before accomadation I know only price and uotside image of hotel. After my accomadation I know now that this hotel has a very good place , very beatiful view from windows and from the bay quay. I know now that very good professional team are working in this hotel. So, I enjoed all day spent there. (3013968)

I liked very much place Clontarf itself and the atmosphere in the hotel. I would like to note hospitality of hotel's team too.

It seems to me that it is possible to include into breacfast menu something els, for example I used to eat a porridge for breakfast/

Fantastic Hotel and Staff. we will be going back for our aniversary (2956478)

The people were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.

nothing, the hotel was great.

The hotel is first class with good sized well equipped rooms. The breakfast is excellent, with a good choice of hot and cold items. The evening meals are again a very high standard, my only complaint would be after two evening meals we felt there was a need for daily specials to complement the main menu offering more choice. The hotel should include in the hotel information the excellent bus service from outside the hotel with a bus every 8 minutes to the centre of Dublin. Overall the stay was a very good experience and we would not hesitate to recommend to friends. (2669034)

Good sized room, first class service, very helpfull staff.

Some leisure facilities such as a pool, would be nice. The restaurant menu could be changed more often, or have daily specials

Sehr schönes Hotel (alte Burg) mit schönem Flair und guten Zimmer sowie nettes Personal. Nicht sehr zentral gelegen und nicht ganz billig natürlich. (2906894)

Nice airy room. Food was brilliant. Very relaxing place.

None

customers should be advised if any major items are not working ie the air conditioning, I was unable to get a good night sleep as the room temperature was 29 degree and no offer of a fan was made at the time of checking in. When I mentioned about the air conditioning again they said that they are aware of the problem as it had not been working for a few days (2624557)

staff to be more informative

grounds to walk in more leisure facilities and to be able to eat earlier (2576225)

more leisure facilities ie swimming pool

I regularly stay in hotels on business but was pleasantly suprised at the quality and character of this hotel and the reasonable price. I look forward to staying again on my next trip. (2547133)

Character, convenience for Dublin City Centre.

It is doing a good job.

Outstanding hotel, with views, charm and an excellent staff. The accommodations were fabulous and the hotel is close to bus transportation to Dublin City. We loved it! (2094427)

It was a beautiful facility - the best we had in Europe, and the staff was wonderful.

Hotel was beautiful, lovely surroundings

Rooms were slightly small, service was a bit slow at breakfast (never did get our tea) and in the bar. Also, white wine was not even slightly chilled

The room was clean and fresh with ample towels and hot water and all the usuals you would expect from a good hotel.

As my stay was only short there was nothing I noticed that could be improved.

Location

Not a real castle experience (thank heavens) but a modern hotel built to include authentic ancient features in lobby and some public rooms. The whole effect is pleasing and not overly cute. Staff was very helpful. My wife and I are experienced travellers and would rate the overall experience very highly. Recommended for those not wanting to stay in downtown Dublin but conveniently close to it and the airport as well. (1852102)

Great ambiance, delightful room, excellent food.

Driving directions to hotel provided wiyh on-line booking were somewhat vague. Could be improved.

we have stayed before and every time the staff are friendly a lovely hotel which is very well kept and different . (1866278)

after many stays always very good staff superb castle hotel good atomsphere

a small gym and no pool

see above. (1612306)

The style of the hotel. The breakfast was also nice. Rooms and pub were good.

distance from city center. Taking the bus was fine but it took quite a while to get into town.

The hotel was well situated and very good overall,we would be more than happy to stay again and more frequent if the hotel was less expensive to stay,Do you do any offers for couples on weekends?.With all the alternative hotels in Dublin this was a lovely hotel but not somewhere we would be able to stay time and time again. (1524140)

We liked the room the friendliness of staff the overall look of the hotel.

The food from room sevice wasn't very good,The breakfast was dry and not very warm and the sandwiches we ordered were not of a good standard.
