Clontarf Castle Hotel, Dublin

The only thing i would suggest to you guys is making sure you book it online at SweetHotelDeals. N e t I did a bunch of searching for hotel prices, and that site seems to have the lowest prices all around

Having recently spent 4 nights with four friends at Clontarf Castle I could not speak high enough of our stay. The rooms were very comfortable the breakfast wonderful and the staff attentive. A very special thank you to to Graham manager and Eric the concierge , Eric helped me organize my trip i.e getting theatre tickets , reservation's for dinner getting taxi's etc, much of this happened before I left the States . Graham was very attentive with other details. and did everything He could to make sure our stay was wonderful. Both employee's went way above the call of duty to take care of our needs. I will have no reservations recommending Clontarf Castle. Nuala Browne

Beautiful hotel; the staff was wonderful, very helpful; the rooms were great and the beds were so very comfortable. Lovely area to walk around and easy to find locations in Dublin. We are from America but will definitely stay there again.

My husband and I absolutely loved this hotel and plan to stay again on our next trip. Not only were the rooms clean and staff friendly but they have the best breakfast buffet I've ever had. I can't wait to visit again!

I loved the fact that everything was clean. This was a first on our whole tour this time. The only comments or suggestions I would have is that the wait staff needs to be better versed in English, after all, they are working in a country that uses a fair amount, and having Russian or other wait people definately affected our ability to order food smoothly. Also, the only reason I gave this a 4 out of 5 on three categories is because the service suffered because of the language barrier, the cleanliness was the best out of 7 (I might add, of which 6 were despicable) with the exception of the dust on the ceiling fixture in our room. The location I am only rating because we were on a bus tour and only (unfortunately)saw it in the evening, and again, early in the morning on our way out to the airport to return home....never got a chance to venture out!! and the Value, I can't honestly rate because the trip was booked through a package deal and I have no idea what the regular room rates were! After bringing my mother to Ireland for the first time to celebrate her 80th birthday, I was quite dissapointed in ALL the other hotels the tour group had us in. Believe me, the wildlife is a problem in a lot of other places...not here though! By wildlife, I mean the more unpleasant insect and ratus type. They no longer have smoking rooms, and the entire hotel was renovated in 1998 with updated fixtures (make it a point to check out the red crystal chandeliers). All in all, after many trips to Ireland, if I had to stay in a public hotel, rather than the private accomodations I have been lucky enough to experience in the past, this would definately be the place I would rebook.

This hotel is a real gem! One of the most friendly hotels we've ever stayed in. Food is excellent, style of hotel is cool and trendy with this wonderful 11th century backdrop. Grill had amazing steaks. Lively local pub. Nice walks. on bus and train route to city centre that takes just a few minutes. We're going back!!
