The hotel had a lot of old charm. The rooms were nice and is located right next to the castle. We had a great time while staying there and could walk to the shops and pubs. The breakfast in the morning was good as well. The spa looked nice but we weren't there long enough to take advantage. If you... More

We stayed in Bunratty Castle Hotel whilst attending a wedding in March 2013-and would definitely recommend it as a wedding venue. The hotel is really nice and comfortable. As we were attending a wedding we didnt get to use the leisure centre. Our room was spacious and clean, though a bit out dated- but I suppose that adds to the... More

I didn't have overly high expectations given what other people I know have said about the hotel but overall it was a positive experience. Positives: 1. Good size car park (important given that there may be several coaches of tourists staying); 2. Room had recently been refurbished to a high standard; 3. Decent gym (compared to other hotels); 4. Reliable,... More

Our first night stay in Ireland was at the Bunratty Castle Hotel... on May 3, 2013...We would all agree that the accommodations are a 5 star... Friendly and very helpful staff. Excellent pub across the street.. We recommend the Fish and Chips...

A lovely hotel. our room was very large with free wifi. bed was comfortable. breakfast was one of the better I had in ireland. The only reason I wont stay here again is that it is in Bunratty. A very small touristy town with little to do other than the castle.

I highly recommend this hotel. What a delightful stay. My 8 year old daughter & I were warmly welcomed by Sandra and Deirdre in reception. What a breath taking lobby. The chandeliers sparkled and a warm, cozy fire drew us in. We were confirmed for a 2pm check in. We chanced our arm at 12:30 & our early arrival was... More

This is a good change from big-city hotels, as it is in the style of a manor house. The decor was attractive, but some of our neighbors complained that they had trouble finding working outlets. We enjoyed being able to open the windows. We were with a tour group, so we had a scheduled breakfast which was OK but nothing... More

We were really disappointed with our stay at Bunratty Castle Hotel, and it appeared to just be a comedy of errors the entire time we were there for our two nights, and wasn't made up for by the staff. We had booked two rooms, one for our kids, and one for my wife and I. The kids got a family... More

We stayed at Bunratty Castle Hotel for a bank holiday weekend. Initially I was impressed by the beautiful building and friendly staff. Once we got to our “executive” room, I was overcome by an unpleasant smell. I tried to ignore it since I have a sensitive sense of smell and it didn’t seem to bother my husband. Combine the smell...
