From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, the staff are attentive and cannot do enough for you. A warm welcome awaits! The bedroom suite was beautiful. Comfy bed and huge bathroom. Spotlessly clean. The dinner and breakfast were gorgeous and plentiful. We had a family celebration lunch for 25 people on the second day in Fahrenheit restaurant and again the staff were amazing. The food was delicious. I can't praise the staff highly enough. Highly recommend!

A unique hotel close to Dublin and within walking distance of St Anns park. You are greeted with an impressive outside facia and then a most impressive reception area with a historic atrium spanning multiple floors. This is an amazing building blending the historic castle with the new, lots of character. The staff are very professional, informative and friendly helpful. A special shoutout for Rebecca one of the assistant bar managers. The room was spacious and clean with good temp. control. A comfy bed and nice functional bathroom. Even tho there was a wedding our sleep was undisturbed. The bar area is very good and not expensive with great food. Breakfast was not as good as other 4 star hotels ive stayed in. A good range of food. Ive dropped a star due to breakfast... very sticky floors, a wobbly table, staff slow to clear tables even when not busy and no brown sauce, a small but important detail... overall a great stay and recommended.

Beautiful main areas, the dining options/breakfast were great! The rooms are spacious although the bathroom shower could have been better and a bit cleaner. Also the location is outside of Dublin and taxi costs can add up if you plan on going into the city.

Excellent hotel with friendly staff!! (INTERIOR) The lobby itself is like it was from the 12th century! Cool antique plush couches in the lobby. Very interesting part was the balcony that had fake ducks hanging from it. I asked the staff why there were ducks hanging from the balcony and they explained that in the past, people would go hunting and would hang up the animals they had caught as a way of showing off. Fascinating and I find it good that the staff know about the backstory of the hotel and whatnot. Our room was beautiful with flowery wallpaper and a carpet. We had a window overlooking a park and it was so pretty!! I had a very good night's sleep here. However the TV did not have YouTube or Netflix. I'm not from Ireland so I'm not sure if TVs here only have live channels, so I cannot judge based on that. Overall wonderful room! Only went for the breakfast buffet and the food was fantastic. I stuffed myself full haha! Location: Quite okay. Clontarf castle isnt in the city centre of Dublin so we had to walk quite a bit. But I guess the pros of this location is that the night was very quiet and peaceful!

Had a great stay at Clontarf Castle Hotel! What a cool hotel with a modern medieval vibe. The room is comfortable, with tea/coffee service, iron & ironing board, two lounge chairs, useful desk, and mini fridge. Bathroom was clean and the water ran hot. Air conditioner only went down to 19c. The bed was comfortable, albeit a bit warm with the thick duvet. The Knights Bar food and service were great. The food was nicely prepared and tasted very good. The fried fish and salmon were excellent. The staff members were really nice and helpful. It is a 20~30 min taxi drive into Dublin and a few minutes more to get to the airport, so plan for traffic. Overall great stay.

My brother, fathers and I stayed here for 3 days in May. The hotel has great historical appearance and is very clean and pretty. There is interesting art work to see throughout the hotel. The staff have all been extremely helpful. The rooms are a little on the small side but the bathrooms are beautiful. Very updated. We have eaten breakfast here twice in the Fahrenheit restaurant and it was amazing. Incredible buffet. Great service there too. I highly recommend you purchase this option! We ate 3 times in Knight’s bar and the food was good. More pub food than fine dining, but still excellent.

This is a very unique hotel. The service was outstanding from check-in to departure. The reception folks were most helpful with our questions and setting us up with taxi service. The hotel deals with a particular taxi service directly so guests can rest easy on knowing the service is reliable. Dinner and drinks at the Knight bar was relaxing and calm. The food was delicious too. Breakfast was incredible. A great way to start your day. So glad we included it on our stay. The staff for dinner and breakfast were courteous and friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

This was an unbelievable place to spend our last night in Ireland. It is a little bit away from the action, which adds to the quiet around it. Service from everyone was 1st rate. A few were 6 stars. Heather in the Breakfast restaurant was exceptional. Her attention to detail was exceptional. She was always ready even when you didn't know you needed her for a question or coffee. One of the Best. The evening front desk man was very nice and also very attentive. He must've overheard us telling another guest that it was an anniversary trip, the next think we know he is presenting us with a box of Clontarf Castle Chocolate for our Anniversary. We were floored. That is attention. The Castle/Hotel complex is Fantastic. We were in awe from the time we got out of the car. They have done an awesome job taking care of the original castle and added on to it in the most tasteful and discreet ways. We will be back.
