Although we only stayed the one night, we were very pleased with what this hotel had to offer. Very comfortable beds, spacious and very clean. Very friendly and courteous staff. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Would definately stay there again and recommend it! |

When we arrived - the front entrance was just as pictured and it just got better as we entered the lobby - suits of armor, stately wooden chairs, and a large welcoming fireplace. We very much enjoyed our stay - and would definitely recommend The Clontarf to anyone heading to Dublin. We liked being a few minutes outside of the city where time was a little less 'hurried' and the surroundings more 'genuine'. The castle is situated in a rather nice neighborhood / area. The rooms are very well appointed, ours was quite large (a Double Deluxe - courtesy of a 'complimentary' upgrade), the restaurants were all good to very good. Our favorite would have to be lunch or dinner at the Knights Bar with a very close second being breakfast at the Farenheit Grill. The only disappointment was in the fact that the castle had no 'grounds' to enjoy or visit. We did however, take in a somewhat spooky, but surely steeped in history, cemetery just a block away - a tall ivy covered spire beckoned to us from our rooms' view (so cool!). Declan and Vijay were wonderful resources at the concierge desk and the front desk staff was equally warm and accomodating. Definitely a most enjoyable stay! |

This was my second time staying at Clontarf Castle and the reason we re'booked was because the staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly and welcoming. The standard of accommodation and services provided are more than satisfactory and the location was ideal. Definately worth a visit and great value for money. |

The hotel was nice. It was disappointing to approach it off a residential road, i imagined it to be in an open green area. 2 miles from city centre - definitely a cab/bus ride away! The room although pleasant was a lot smaller than it looked online. |

Really enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff and the concierge was a mind of information and was very genuine. We ate in one of the bars and the food was good if not a little overpriced. Unfortunately our hotel deal included a free upgrade but apparently there were no "better" rooms avilable for which the hotel staff did apologise. Did receive a complimentary bottle of red wine in our room and 10% off food and drinks bill so that was good.
Overall I would recommend staying at this hotel which is definitely full of character. |

Overall, our stay was great. This hotel is very close to downtown and in a great location. We had high expectations and some of those were not met. I found the hotel focuses on weddings and large functions, sometimes at the cost of poor customer service to the residents. We stayed for 10 days and in that time really did not 'feel' like we mattered. There were a few things that went wrong that did not need to. Overall though, the hotel is lovely, the linens and bathrooms are fantastic, the rooms are quite small with very thin walls.... |

The hotel was lovely. STandard of service and rooms was very good for a 4 star hotel. The difficulty was the noise. Although my room was on the third floor, there was a Christmas party and the music was extremely loud until after 1am and then the noise of doors slamming and people returning to their rooms until nearly 3am. Very disappointing |

We were very pleasantly surprised at what we found when we arrived at the Hotel. Booking online is sometimes very dicey because pictures can belie the true situation. In my opinion, Clontarf Castle was "undersold" on line, so upon our arrival we were very delighted with the "real thing!" |

The only complaints that I have are that the concierge was not from Dublin, or Ireland for that matter and knew less of the area then I did. Aside from the staff behind the check-in counter the entire staff knew very little English. I am suprised at this considering what a beautiful job they did with every other aspect. |

The hotel was great. The staff was fantastic and went out of there way to try to do whatever they could to be helpful,friendly and professional. The hotel is alittle out of town but the bus was easy to catch and not a long wait. Ido suggest carrying backpack to carry extra jacket and parcels in town because hotel too far for dropping stuff off or stopping by to get stuff. |

We loved staying at Clontarf Castle and hope to return. It was a beautiful location, close enough to the city center and yet quiet. We liked that it was near the water front and enjoyed walking there as well as going downtown.
We asked for and received a special room and were very pleased with the modern bathroom. Clontarf Castle is a perfect blend of very old with tastefully done modern conveniences. |

The check in was slow and the woman seemed to be by herself doing double duty tryin to answer the phone and check in clients. Maybe this was a fluke. We were not able to have dinner in the restaurant as you need to book well in advance which we did not know. We were able to eat in the pub that was rather noisey for us after a busy day of travel, The room and surroundings howeer were quite nice. The morning person gave us good directions for our continued travel. |
