I slipped in the shower and think I probably tore my rotator cuff. When I told it to reception the next morning that they need a mat for the shower, there was no concern. I finally had to call her out on her lack of compassion.

Hotel is beautiful just like the photos! However they had private events there the entire time we stayed which made it feel less castle like and more venue like. They had a lounge that was closed every night for these other private events. Basically you are 4 miles from the city center with nothing to do in the hotel. On their website it says there’s a shuttle but that’s not accurate, you have to walk a few blocks to the local bus, which is fine since we were there to explore Dublin, however a cab back to the hotel is about 20-30 eur because the bus does not leave you where most attractions are so you either take another bus or walk. Hotel was basically too far and too boring! We did eat at the one place you can eat there, since the other one is a “fancy” restaurant and you need reservations, but we gladly ate, service was good and great food! Rooms were very clean, but outdated and their USB plugs didn’t work. Also their blow dryer was attached inside a drawer in their tv stand, which is super odd and inconvenient. Breakfast buffet was cute, not many options but you would not be hungry leaving there. Check times as Sundays they open later! We weren’t aware had to catch a flight and couldn’t eat beforehand since it opened later then every other day we were there.( to be fair that could have been our lack of reading since they had a huge binder of everything you need to know). Their free WiFi is terrible! Went in and out.

I was disappointed in the fact that it was more a hotel than a castle. Additionally, the castle hotel is located in the suburbs which resulted in expensive Uber rides to Dublin’s attractions. The castle hotel’s didn’t work on one of the days I was there.
