- Francis (9/5): Cool - N/A N/A
- Rodeghiero (10/5): Dublino caotica ma l'hotel stupendo. - Bello, bello, bello. Metterei delle bottiglie d'acqua nel frigo bar.
- Stephens (10/5): -
- May (10/5): -
- Jackie (6/5): Expensive,very busy with conferences and parties during our stay. - Beautiful looking hotel.
Room was lovely.
Staff very attentive. Both nights of our stay had either a conference and /or party’s which made it very very busy, even the bar area was heaving and noisy so not able to have a quiet drink !!
Tables in breakfast room very tight as chairs don’t fit into table legs so people couldn’t get past.
I thought it was not value for money and expected more for the price.

- Cynthia (10/5): - Employees were lovely..I'm a great area and easy to find from airport A little dated..art work was a bit questionable with regards to castle mode
- Michael (5/5): A lovely place, very welcoming but the poor quality of the breakfast let it down. - The room was good, the bar and dining room were superb. The staff were friendly. It's a stunning building inside and out in an excellent location. I was surprised and disappointed at the indifferent quality of the breakfast. The food tasted bland, the bacon was leathery and the scrambled eggs were tasteless. I expected far better quality against the background of how good everything else was.

- Robert (9/5): Gehobene Unterkunft in einem historischen Ambiente - Wir hatten das Essen in der Knight Bar. Alles war super und sehr freundliche Bedienung.Trotz des gehobenen Ambiente haben wir uns hier sehr heimisch gefühlt. Einige Gäste hatten ihr Frühstück offenbar im Bett und das Geschirr wurde vor die Tür gestellt. Dort stand es noch am Nachmittag. Nicht ein so schöner Eindruck.
- Sabiha (10/5): Excellent stay overall, would definitely want to stay here again anytime - Staff is excellent, very accommodating to every need, had a North American and German plugs which was great, didn't need an adapter Everything was great, the only one little thing I didn't like was the cleanliness at times, wish they would vacuum the floors daily, but otherwise quick and great.
- Rankin (8/5): - Beautiful room,, very clean. Server in Knight's Bsr very friendly. Room service food for late night was terrible. Not what we ordered.

- Mancini (9/5): Una notte stupenda in castello - Architettura esterna e interna da favola. Atmosfera interna davvero incantevole. Posizione un po’ defilata dalle attrazioni di Dublino ma c’è da considerare anche il tipo di struttura di cui si parla.

- Susan (9/5): A Class Act at Clontarf - Staying in a real castle was fun! It was so well done! Our room was right next to a stairwell which was loud at times, and a guest left their empty wine bottle in front of our door before we arrived. That did not deter from our stay, however. Had dinner in the hotel pub, and it was solid. Great burger and Guinness; a bit pricey, but as expected for the location. Nothing we didn’t like.
- michelle (7/5): it was comfortable, but amenaties were all basic. - The food was very good. Had to keep asking for extra butter at breakfast, as the irish love their butter and it was annoying. Perhaps more butter left beside toaster and bread.
Noticed no porridge available. Pillows were very hard. Had to request softer ones. No waste bin in bedroom and one in bathroom was too small.
No dressing gown or slippers. We were attending a wedding and didnt pack ones my end as i assumed they would be in hotel.
I would gladly pay a deposit to have use of these and then get it back at end of stay when you can hand them into reception.

- Anke (10/5): Es war königlich. - Sehr schöne Einrichtung
- Daiga (3/5): No help with carrying the heavy bags, traveled alone - Bed was comfortable
Breakfast was good As soon as I arrived with my 27 KG LUGGAGE, there were nobody to help me to carry in the heavy luggage. I travel on my own so my hands still are hurting from carrying the bags today. I traveled to many countries and almost everywhere the staff will help to take your luggage and bring it to your room,NOT HERE!not even in a castle.
I came out of taxi and the whole entrance of castle were blocked by laughing, younger women in longer dresses (totally drunk) who didnt let me to pass inside, In that moment i thought why did I book here i was already frustrated to carry the heavy bags inside on my own and to roll them over carpets was even more difficult. Same when i checked out from this castle, nobody helped me to carry the bags outside. Everything you do on your own here.
The man at the reception even didnt tell me where the breakfast would be next morning,I didnt knew it was on the 2nd floor
and of course I had to find my room number on my own and to bring my bags alone my hands even hurt as i write this review. After paying money I just asked where to go to bring my bags which side is my room and they look at you as if you are a fool.
THERE WAS NO WINE!! everyone posting how there is wine on their table upon arrival, there was no wine at all, so for such price they could at least included wine for me too ,but i was exception. Again in countries like greece they leave you a free wine and even there the hotel was a lot cheaper.
It was hard to flush the water in the toilet ,the smaller button worked better for flushing
when i took pictures of castle surrounding it felt like i was being watched and that frustrated me when a staff man approaches me and asks me questions when i want to be unbothered and mind my own business, i didnt felt relaxed here and i felt like in another hotel at least they would helped me with the bags. here I could barely enter the entrance, those people just stood there and even when i asked for them kindly to move there was no reply

- Rachel (9/5): Pampered and relaxed - Loved the helpful friendly staff, beautiful clean room and gorgeous food. We felt pampered and so relaxed. The staff could not do enough for us and the bedroom was so peaceful and quiet. Lovely atmosphere in the building as historical parts are preserved well and integrated with more modern tasteful touches
- Gerard Irl (8/5): -
- Pascal (9/5): Trés agréable - la chambre,le batiment, les personnel. La vue sur le port industriel.
Un spa serait appréciable.

- Castellano (10/5): Wonderful stay, we will definitely be back highly recommend! - Loved everything about this stay!! Staff friendly & very helpful, Castle itself was gorgeous!!! Didn’t have control of our air, was a little warm in the room.
- Mark (8/5): Very nice hotel for the price. - The breakfast was very good.The staff was excellent. They were all very helpful. The location of the hotel is about a 20 to 25 minute ride to the City Centre and almost 40 minutes from the Airport. This was a little farther than what I expected.

- Rachael (8/5): Comfortable room in Clontarf - Comfortable, spacious room in Clontarf Dublin. Great location for my visit but be aware it isn't in centre of town if visiting Dublin for first time. Good value when I stayed but prices seem inflated for what it is on other dates. Rooms a bit dated in places and feel like its time for an upgrade, but everything was clean.
- Gina (10/5): -
- Christine (10/5): Confort - Le petit déjeuner, les lits super confort, l atmosphère du lieu... Proche du bus vers Dublin centre. Proche de la promenade et du côté nature de Dublin... Devoir partir 🤣
- Jennifer (8/5): -
- Barrett (10/5): Great place to wind down and pamper yourself. - Everything was excellent from the staff to the facility. Everything to make you feel welcome and in a relaxing atmosphere. The quality of the food on the premises was outstanding. Breakfast included was outstanding in all the options offered. None
- Gary (10/5): - Met all needs with great location, staff and amenities. N/A
- Kelly Lynch (10/5): We’d go back! - We like the location to the airport. Early check in options and it’s just a really nice place to stay.
- Gary (8/5): - The hotel itself. The location. Asked the staff re the EV charger which is in the hotel car park, straight "not ours, I know nothing".
Buffet Breakfast??????
