Beautiful hotel!

Everyone and everything was excellent

We had a wonderful stay at this castle. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the whole property was so peaceful—it was the perfect place to relax. One thing to be aware of is that the main restaurant is only open on certain days, so it’s worth checking ahead. Fortunately, the Knights Bar was open during our stay and the food was delicious, so we had a great meal without needing to leave the property. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and we’d definitely stay here again.

From the moment of our arrival to checkout it was perfect. The staff was friendly, welcoming and professional. The rooms were large and comfortable. There were two cozy chairs and a small, round wooden table in the corner, and a long writing desk with refrigerator and other amenities on one wall. The king size bed was super comfortable. The breakfast buffet was exquisite, and the service there was top notch as well. The location itself is quiet and tranquil. You can get into nearby City Centre easily by bus or taxi. In fact, I walked it several times on the beautiful path Clontarf Promenade. And, of course, for history buffs the hotel is in the general location of the famous 1014 Battle of Clontarf, pitting the great Irish High King Brian Boru against the coalition forces of Leinster and foreign Viking mercenaries. You absolutely cannot go wrong with the Clontarf Castle Hotel. I’m from California and it was my first time in Ireland. I will definitely return.

Fantastic stay! Highly recommend. A+ accommodation with an insanely long history!

My daughter wanted to stay in a castle but the prices didn't match our budget. I found this hotel and it was the best for both of us. The hotel is beautiful and the beds are soft and comfortable. Only downside, which would have made me reconsider staying there, is that it is a 20 minute taxi ride from city center. As much as I enjoyed the hotel, for the quick time I had in Dublin, I would have preferred to be closer.

This was an amazing hotel, beautiful and peaceful. The only downside was that it was not close to any restaurants or shopping if you didn’t have a car, but you could easily get a taxi. There were two restaurants inside for upscale dining options. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. So glad we were able to stay here.

Great place. Breakfast was a bountiful buffet. Restaurants were great too but noisy.

The staff was amazing and attentive. They took care of all of our needs, even things we didn't know we needed! The hotel was beautiful as well.

The property is beautiful. Room was very clean, great showers and in room amenities. Front desk, bar and room service staff were excellent. Will return!

The building was beautiful and the staff was very nice, but we found the room to be small.

The breakfast was expensive and not very good: poor choice of healthy options and fruit (I’m diabetic), and the hot food was very ordinary. I did not dine at the hotel after I had one breakfast. The room was clean but a little old and the bathroom could do with a makeover - the hand basin was blocked and it was difficult to flush the toilet.

Love this hotel and my stays here!

The hotel is beautiful. The rooms were clean and huge. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was a full size shower and counter, which is not common in Europe. Breakfast was good and so was lunch using room service. We would definitely want to stay here again.

a beautiful castle just outside of downtown Dublin City. wonderful very attentive staff, gorgeous surroundings. Clontarf is a great suburb of Dublin with beautiful views of the bay and the city. a great place to unwind while still being close enough to the city to do what you want.

Wiring in bedroom did not work properly for bedside lights. Beds were too small . Location ,setting and foyer were fabulous. Breakfast was average. Bit overpriced overall

Comfy beds, fabulous breakfast, friendly staff, full bar and restaurant onsite

Clean room. Good location. Friendly staff.

Beautiful old world property

Very nice facility and wonderful breakfast. Staff is very friendly. Our room was smaller than I thought it would be based on the pictures and the price we paid.
