Bunratty Castle Hotel - Bunratty

Traveling with husband, sister/brother-in-law. We stayed at Bunratty Castle Hotel because my sister wanted to see a castle and this fit the bill. The hotel is convenient to the castle and that is about it. The tourist pubs and shops are within walking distance. Our rooms were very nice, adjoining. Both were clean and well maintained, bed was comfortable […] and our windows opened. The bathroom exhaust/vent fan did not work and there was a huge wad of hair in the sink drain. Other than that, very nice. Wifi signal was very strong despite our being very far from the hotel lobby area. Read more

The hotel is beautiful. Walking distance of 5 to 10 minutes to the castle. Has a restaurant, good food and nearby 5 - 10 min walk 2 pubs. Also good food. Hotel itself was very comfortable and clean. Very nice stay

The hotel was close to Shannon airport & was wonderful after a long day of travel. Went to Dirty Nelly's across the street & next door to Bunratty Castle & enjoyed a few Guinness beers & a tasty meal. Would recommend to anyone. Bed was extremely comfortable, nice hot shower & friendly staff. Will stay again.

I wanted to stay in a traditional hotel that was convenient to Shannon Aiport. This hotel didnt disappoint. This hotel was a E20 (15 min) taxi ride to the airport (the hotel ordered the taxi for 7am and it was right on time). The hotel is right next to Bunratty Castle itself and the Woolen Mills and some other nice pubs. We ate in Durty Nellys and that […] was fab but I would be interested to eat in the hotel bar as it looked nice (there was a wedding on so it was busy). The hotel itself is warm and cosy with lots of corridors (so beware if you are lugging heavy suitcases). There are a few doors between the various parts of the hotel which meant that we didnt hear noises from other parts of the hotel but we didnt hear the door banging a lot as other people closed it. We used the pool, jacuzzi area which was also lovely. Very modern and clean! I would definitely recommend! Read more

Wonderful Honeymoon stay! Large, well furnished king bedroom, and the hotel was in a beautiful and ideal setting next to Bunratty Castle and Durty Nelly's pub - just off the motorway. The breakfasts were wonderful and the workout center and pool were the icing on the cake. Highly recommended!

Bunratty Castle Hotel is a large hotel very close to Bunratty Castle (5 minute walk). Overall I was very pleased with the staff, amenities and the size of then room. The swimming pool was very relaxing. The only downside was that WiFi was only available in the (comfortable) lobby and library. Cable connected Internet can be accessed in rooms. Also the […] room price does not include breakfast. Be sure to ask for a non-smoking room if you want one. Read more

Great value near Shannon Airport. Recommend VERY highly.

Our stay was comfortable and pleasant. The view from the dining room was great. The breakfast was good. We also ate in the Italian Restraunt,the food was great and the service was grand. Wished we could have stayed longer. Short distance to Shannon Airport. We would stay again.

the hotel was nice. Unfortunately there was a wedding that evening and guests partied inside and outside the hotel rooms making sleep difficult.

Loved this hotel. It's beautiful Arrived at 7:30am after 16 hr airplane trip to Shannon. They had a room available immediately. It was very nice and spacious. The scenery is gorgeous. You need a bathing cap for the pool (you can buy there) and kids hours end at 6pm. The pool was very clean and loved having a steam room after swimming laps. The tour […] of the castle across the street is great. My 2 year old loved chasing the chickens. The hotel could use some upkeep. There are several dings in the walls in the common space. But it's not bad enough that it would keep me from going back. I will definitely stay there again. Super convenient to get to from Shannon airport. Read more

The hotel was first class at a bargain rate. We were able to walk to the castle. We walked to the Creamery the evening before for dinner - great food.

The hotel was great. The room was spacious and super clean. It was conveniently located next to Bunratty Castle, Durty Nelly's and shopping. The staff was polite and helpful too!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Stay here if you want a true, old world, castle experience. You are taken back in time from the moment you enter and smell the peat burning in the fireplace, see tapestries on the walls, and candles lighting your way up the stairs past a suit of armor. The rooms have not been modernized to the point of not being recognizable as being an old castle like […] so many others but it has everything you need and is wonderfully comfortable.The restaurant is superb. We absolutely loved staying there and wish we could have stayed longer. Read more

There are a few nice places to eat. We ate at JP Clarkes which is a short walk. Very good food and nice pub ambiance. There is a tavern side and a more formal side. Tavern side was perfect for us. Airport is literally 10 minutes away.

Very nice hotel for families & couples. Very convenient to Shannon Airport.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is very nice and clean, and more like American full service hotels than the rest of the Irish B&B thing. We enjoyed the fitness center, pool, sauna, and steam room. The castle is fun despite being touristy, and the Durty Nelly bar becomes more local at night and was really fun.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Bunratty Castle Hotel has a good location and is a good value. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. The design of the hotel is a bit awkward. We had to travel through several corridors and doors to get to our room. Otherwise, I would recommend a stay at this hotel.

very clean and service was wonderful. Didn't partake in the spa or the restaurant downstairs. Breakfast was particularly delicious though

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was lovely - located across from Bunratty castle, and filled with an antique style charm. We actually stayed during a time when the hotel hosted a wedding, but it didn't deter us from the experience too much. The Italian restaurant was incredible. The service was good, the prices were very reasonable and both my fiancé and I had the lasagna […] which was incredible. The included breakfast buffet was also tasty with lots of choices for kids and adults alike. The shops located around the hotel have every type of momento you could want to bring home and that's where we dod a majority of our shopping for friends and family. After a drive to the Cliffs of Moher that evening, we returned to experience the bar across the way - Dirty Nelly's. Great atmosphere, fantastic local brews on tap - lots of fun. The room was elegant and spacious (though my only disappointment of the entire experience was the view - of the ceiling to the dining area - out our window). Highly recommend it. :) Read more

Staff was very friendly and helpful, meals were good, grounds well maintained. The swimming pool was cool and the jaccuzzi was not hot. We enjoyed spending the day at Bunratty Park and being able to take a local bus to other cities. It would not be the best hotel for a person with difficulty walking as there are narrow hallways and many doors to go […] through. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel. Read more

Loved the charm, the location and the value. Unfortunately the air conditioning was malfunctioning and even after I asked them to take a look at it after the first night it was still DOA the second night. I would definately stay here again but be more insistent on the comfort issue.

For the utmost in pampering, stay at Markree Castle!

The hotel was nice, location was fantastic. Stayed there for one day, one night before a flight from Shannon. Two things that turned me off 1. We asked for a wake up call and ordered a taxi to take us to the airport --- neither happened, luckily we set a separate alarm. 2. We wanted to go swimming after a day of exploring but our 7 year old daughter […] wasn't allowed in the pool after 6pm. This wasn't stated anywhere we could find on the website and was disappointing as the pool was one reason we chose the hotel. I would stay again but book the taxi directly and swim before 6pm.

We found the food and the servers to be less than adequate. We waited for at least ten minutes for coffee at our first breakfast and then we had to ask instead of having it offered to us. It took clase to 30 minutes to get coffee and scones in the AM in the lounge area. The front desk staff was cordial and helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was a wonderful hotel. I loved staying in a beautiful room, with a lovely view. Staff was so accomodating and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and had a very reasonable rate and a fun time at the pubs, shopping, and folk park which are all very close to the hotel.

A very nice place to stay. The morning breakfast was excellent, and the room was great too. Location is perfect for a west coast vacation. Bunratty is just across the street and major attractions with in one hour drive.

Genuine Expedia guest review

There was glass outside of bathroom on floor and my daughter cut her foot. I called the front desk and they sent someone to vacuum but did not ask about my daughters condition. The aircondition did not work in either of our two rooms so i reported it to the front desk and they sent someone to check it out and they said the air is not working but they […] could not fix it.

Pros: Convenient location close to airport (less than 10 min drive), large room, nice finishes, quiet, delicious Irish breakfast, good base for trips to Galway, Conemara park, etc. Cons: nothing that we can think about. Would stay again here next time we fly in to Shannon.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Loved this location!!! The hiking trails were beautiful. Hotel is beautifully maintained. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices. However, the pub/bar menu was extremely limited. We were not in the mood for dressing up and eating in the dinning room and read online that there is a pub menu available as a second choice to eat at the castle. We […] only ate there the first night because of the limited choices. Drove 10 min. into a quaint town and had many choices of casual restaurants. Read more
