Clontarf Castle Hotel - Dublin

I was very excited about staying at the Clontarf Castle and found myself somewhat disappointed with it. I was actually wishing I had just stayed at my cheaper hotel in the city of Dublin another night. We decided to spend out last night at the castle for a special night, and I just didn't think it was worth it. Clontarf's staff was fabulous, and the […] hotel was very nice. It just didn't have the wow factor for me that I expected it to have. So, all in all it was a nice hotel. No complaints-just not as great as I thought it would be. Read more

I only spent one night in this hotel, but it had a feel of History, and yet in the rooms a contrast of modern feel with an old coat of arms.... When you arrive you can be nothing but surprised to find such a gem, it was more than I expected and did not let me down. Team and service were great, friendly and not rushed, food was very well presented and […] flavoursome. I would recommend this Castle / hotel to all, businessmen and couples alike. On my next visit to Dublin I will be stopping here again for sure…. Read more

One of the best hotels ive ever stayed in. We came for St. Pattys day weekend and the staff was so helpful and explained everything that would be going on, where to catch the bus into the city center, where to see the parade where to eat, etc. A little pricey, but totally worth it for the comfort and hospitality.

Hotel was fantastic and clean, definetly a unique experience staying in a castle! A little way from downtown but close to all bus routes. Hotel staff was very helpful.

This hotel has done a great job at retaining the old world charm of the castle while offering comfortable modern accommodation. The staff on the reception desk were very efficient and helpful. The drinks and food bars were quite pricey and the service a little slow but other than that it was all very good.

Staff in the hotel were very helpful throughout the stay in Dublin. The hotel sits in a beautiful residential area of Dublin and only a short walk down to the promenade with beautiful view across the bay. There is a good bus service between the hotel and city centre that takes the stress out of travelling into the city by car. Food is good in the restaurant […] and the castle background music very relaxing. Overall, it is a nice place to stay when visiting the city. Read more

Beaufiful hotel with lovely staff. We were at a wedding there and everything was prefect. The only down fall was the cold in our room. It was freezing we went and asked the staff to put on the heat but unfortanetly the room didn't seem any warmer. All in all though a great stay.

Staff very obliging. When we arrived I noticed that there was only one bath towel in the bathroom. I rang reception to request another towel (as there was two of us sharing the room) and less than 5 minutes later there was a knock on the door with more (and warm) towels. Breakfast was lovely. We did not have it included in our package and we were delighted […] to discover that it was only €10 extra for breakfast per person. The rooms were soo quiet. did not her a thing (despite a black tie ball on in the hotel that night) Read more

I booked this hotel as it was supposed to be close to the Ferryport. The comfort, cleanliness and uniqueness of the hotel made up for the location.

The Clontarf is a wonderful historic venue which was fully renovated several years ago into a stunning hotel. This is an excellent value and wonderful location. The bars are fabulous and bustling with nightlife. An experience you will not soon forget.

Nice hotel but unhelpful and inefficient staff especially lady on reception. Was given a room over the car park which was very noisy. Heard someone being sick in the early hours of the morning and when we checked out there was vomit in the corridor. Unaccompanied children were allowed to play in the elevators. Hotel has the potential to be a very nice […] 4 star hotel if the staff paying more attention to what is going on. Read more

The hotel building was lovely, room a little small might be worth an upgrade to better room style. Disappointed the main restaurant closed early due to low number leaving only bar food, very disappointed at this as location of hotel means you have to travel for food so for a short stay or mid week break this was not convienient The fire alarm at 6.30 […] was not a dilighter!

Fabulous building, small but comfortable room, restaurant closes early if volumes are low which really restricts food choice resulting in you being force to select bar food. Also.disappointed by the fact that the fire alarm went off early morning disturbing stay & was false alarm.

On check-in we were sent to twin room even though we had booked a double non-smoking. WE were even asked did we want smoking or non and all she had to do was look at our booking confirmation. There were the bare necessities in the bathroom - one shower gel, one shampoo, one soap and that was it. No shower cap, shoe shine, facecloth, Only one set of […] towels. On hanging up our clothes we found a second set of towels. On check-out we reported that we couldnt shower as the water was cold. We were told there was a problem with the fire alarm which affected the water and were offered no apology whatsoever - all we were told was that they they were trying to rectify it which is a bit rich when you are checking out - a bit late wouldn't you say? Didn't find the girl pleasant at all. Read more

Estuvimos unos días en Enero de 2012 y es un hotel precioso. La habitación no era muy grande pero si muy cómoda y el Knights Bar una chulada, con buen servicio. No se cómo se llama pero hay que destacar a un señor mayor que esta en la recepción que es encantador y además habla un ingles que se entiende perfectamente y se esfuerza un montón en entender […] a los que no somos ingleses o irlandeses.

Etwas ausserhalb des Zentrums gelegen. Mit dem Bus 130 ist das Zentrum Dublins problemlos in 10-20 Minuten zu erreichen (je nach Verkehr). Sehr freundliches Personal. Rest. Fahrenheit-Grill abends oft ausgebucht. Komfortable Zimmer im neuen Teil.

Es ist sicherlich kein schlechtes Hotel, aber wir hatten einfach mehr erwartet. Die Hotelzimmer befinden sich alle in einem Anbau des Schlosses, leider hat man dort versäumt den Charme des ursprünglichen Gebäudes einzufangen. Im Endeffekt handelt es sich um ein ganz normales Hotel, dessen Bar, Restaurant und Empfangsbereich im alten Schlossteil integriert […] sind. Dies Zimmer sind von der Ausstattung für diese Hotelkategorie ausreichend, bieten aber keine positiven Überraschungen. Das Bad war allerdings enttäuschend, da sich hier wohl schon etwas die Abnutzung bemerkbar gemacht hat (Sprünge in Fließen, Wanne und einige Schimmelflecken). Auch war die Auswahl an Amenities sehr gering (kleine Tube Shampoo, kleine Tube Duschgel - Kosmetik Tücher waren sogar leer). Alles in Allem war der Aufenthalt ganz nett, muss aber nicht wieder sein - andere Hotels der gleichen Kategorie bieten mehr. Read more

Très bel hôtel, beaucoup de cachet. Environnement agréable, quartier paisible et élégant. Un peu loin du centre, abordable en taxi, toutefois. Mi-chemin entre l'aéroport et le centre ville. Pratique lorsque l'on part de Dublin en voiture vers le reste du pays.

Alles goed verzorgd. Mooie ambiance. Alle dagen correct geholpen. Zondermeer een positieve ervaring. Wel moet je rekening houden met het feit dat je buiten het centrum zit en aangewezen bent op openbaar vervoer (behoorlijke afstand tot juiste haltes), taxi of eigen vervoer. Voordeel van de ligging is wel de rust. Voor diegene met eigen vervoer is er […] gratis ruime parkeergelegenheid. Kort samengevat een aanrader! Read more

Gelegen in Dublin, aan de rand van de stad, de tourbus passeert er, dus kan je van daaruit heel Dublin bezoeken. Fantastisch.

Hotel splendido! Moderno, nonostante l'aspetto esterno possa far pensare veramente di trovarsi dentro ad un castello, pulitissimo e ubicato in una zona veramente tranquilla fuori città. Ideale per rilassarsi e godersi poi al meglio la bellissima Dublino! Nonostante non sia vicinissimo al centro è perfettametne servito dal bus 130, che impiega circa […] 30 minuti a raggiungere il centro. L'unica "pecca" è che l'ultimo autobus per Clontarf parte dal centro di Dublino alle 23.30; da tenere a mente se si ha intenzione di fare vita notturna! Read more
