5 Nov 2009 | Trip type: Couples New

Over-priced. Not very friendly. Extremely disappointed in our room. Very small and beared no resemblance to a 'castle' room. The main hotel is all about the 'castle' but the rooms are just like any other hotel room except smaller and with fewer amenities. Breakfast was poor and our evening meal was a disaster. Change the chefs and maybe it would... more

We arrived to check in at 3.30pm and were advised that our room wasexpected to be ready in one hour, so it was suggested that we may like to have a drink in the bar while we waited. The drinks we selected were not able to be charged to the room because we did not have a room number. We... more

Great hotel. We were staying as a treat and this fitted the bill. The concierge was a great talker and was very helpful. A couple of small things though. Initially we were given a smokers room, but not asked on check in what we wanted. The stench in the room was terrible. (R115) With little fuss we were moved and... more

Clontarf Castle Hotel was a nice, quiet stay. The outside is just gorgeous and still retains many of the charming castle aspects in structure. The inside has retained these aspects, as well, in decoration and furnishings (suits of armor in the lobby, lion statues and banners), but, has also allowed for expansion and modern growth (elevators), so the hotel is... more
