The staff were fantastic. We arrived early at 9:30am and weren’t scheduled to check in until 3:00pm. The front desk suggested we get breakfast first and once we were finished, they were able to have our room ready at 11:00am. This allowed for a quick nap before our Dublin adventure. The room was clean, quiet and the hotel was far enough away from the heart of Dublin but an easy 10 min taxi ride to city center. Would recommend and would stay again.

The clontarf Castle hotel is a beautiful property. It was fun to walk around and see all of the little seating areas and nooks to have a drink in. All staff was very nice and helpful. There were two small downsides to staying here. The first one was that we were placed in a room with a door that combines to another room. We were able to hear our neighbor's conversations through the door. We also opted out on having dinner in the castle because there was a strange smell (almost that of canned cat food) coming from the kitchens that was very unappealing. Other than this we had a beautiful night. The hotel is beautifully decorated and it was nice to sit in the lobby by the fireplace enjoying a cocktail.

Fun castle to stay close to airport

Beautifully restored castle with quirky artwork. For the cost I expected a bigger room.

Castle "themed" hotel

Nice big chunk of castle has had a more regular hotel built around it, with a castle theme. Some castle rooms used for the bar and breakfast dining rooms, which are great. But not the guest rooms. We didn't *feel* like we were staying in an actual castle, which was a bit disappointing. Also had a rude experience at Wednesday's breakfast with the short shaven head concierge man pushing our bill at us at our table while we were still eating, and then coming to collect payment while we were still drinking our coffee. The other mornings had a different concierge at breakfast, a quite tall gentleman who was nothing but polite, friendly and professional regardless of how busy it got, and was happy to issue the bill and collect payment on our request when we were completely finished.
