Although we did have an excellent stay, there were a few issues but nothing major enough to stop us going back. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. The room was great, we were in the new part but that made no difference to us the room was lovely, the bed massive and really comfy. The bathroom was also good with a... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at Clontarf Castle. Our room was very nice and very clean. It looked exactly like the pictures on the website. The beds were large and comfortable. The room was a bit small, but we had an area to put our luggage, so it was fine. There were shortbread cookies & tea/coffee in our... more

My husband and I stayed at the Clontarf Castle Hotel for 4 nights. We loved the hotel and will definitely stay there again on future trips to Dublin. First of all, the location is super, a quiet suburb of Dublin, but the city center is easily accessible by bus. The hotel itself is charming and beautiful. Our room was not... more

I stayed at the Castle with a friend for about a week. Our room rate was extremely reasonable and basically we got what we paid for. The website photos notwithstanding, this is a modern business hotel that has been plopped on top of a refurbished castle. Yes, it's nice to see those suits of armor and tapestries, but a little... more

Returned yesterday afternoon from a three - night stay at the Contarf Castle just north of Dublin. Hotel is absolutely beautiful - renovations mar the outside a bit currently (scaffolding all over main tower) but old buildings need attention. Inside was stunning - much nicer than I had imagined. Our room was very nicley appointed though small, but everything expected... more

Sep 21, 2008

The word luxury is used to describe this hotel, but it depends very much on one's own interpretation of the word and this hotel did not meet my expectation at all. The room was quite small with the bed being two single beds bolted together. Only one set of toiletries in the bathroom, one piece of shortbread each on the... more

I have just returned from Clontarf Castle and cannot rate this hotel highly enough. From the moment we entered the hotel we were greeted with a smile, recepton were not at all fazed by all 24 of us checking in and wanting to pay seperately! The rooms are gorgeous and the beds are sooo comfy. I was lucky enough to... more

The Clontarf Castle met every single expectation except the breakfast in the morning, which seems to be a common theme. The food was below average and the staff even worse. That being said, the hotel is wonderful, the rooms well appointed and comfortable. Rates were reasonable for the experience. I would highly recomend the hotel with the understanding that breakfast... more

The first time we stayed at the Clontarf, resulted in the review 'it could have been perfect...', so it was with a little trepidation that we went back for second helpings. But we weren't disappointed. Our room was beautiful, so much so that we spent most of the weekend around and about the hotel, relaxing and enjoying the facilities. We... more
