“Weekend at the castle 15/6/13”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2013 NEW

Came here as a treat for my mums 60th birthday and have to say it was a lovely experience! The staff are an absolute credit to the hotel, each and every one of them made our stay so amazing. Veejay in particular was so helpful and even brought a mini 60th birthday cake up to our room for my mum!... More

“Best of the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2013 NEW

This is an absolutely wonderful hotel. The restaurant was nice, the front desk staff were great, and the property was absolutely gorgeous. The room was wonderful and the room service was even good! The bed was literally the nicest one that we slept in our entire trip. I would highly recommend.

“Excellent hotel first class service”

We stayed here in February 2013 and I really couldn't recommend the hotel highly enough - the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating which made all the difference to our weekend as we were a large group. The reception, restaurant and bar staff were all so warm and friendly. The hotel itself and setting are both gorgeous- and the car... More

Fantastic characterful hotel, just outside Dublin. Very nicely appointed rooms, clean, turned down beds, chocolates on the pillow. Very good facilities for conferences or wedding, great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back, and I will!

We stayed 2 nights during May and the hotel was everything we expected. Beautiful, comfortable bed in a classy room. The service staff were expecially nice and we give a big tick to the lady Manager of the dining room. We found it to be only a short bus ride to the city and it is located in a lovely... More

“Beautiful old castle incorporated into comfortable hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013

Yes Clontarf is an old castle. Yes this is a hotel. No you are not staying in a castle. Just setting your expectations. The castle is incorporated into the lobby, restaurant and bar. The guest rooms and function rooms are solidly 20th century with all the modern amenities you would want. I stayed here for one night upon my arrival... More

“Nice hotel but not worth the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2013

A nicely situated hotel in a lefy suburb, close to lovely walking trail along waterfront - close to Dublin city centre with a short bus ride (2.15 Euro). Stayed 3 nights. Ate once in the more casual pub restaurant - food and service was excellent. Our room (number 401) was very small - strange design with hardly any walking space... More
