The staff at the hotel are extra attentive. They hospitable were able to get us in early to our room, assisted with our luggage, arranged for taxis, and they even helped us send a postcard to our granddaughter. This hotel and the surrounding area were a highlight to our vacation. We hope we have the pleasure of returning.

My only complaint was that our room had a lot of foot traffic nearby that woke us up at night; not the hotel's fault at all.

Clontarf Castle is a wonderful hotel with amazing decor and art. The room was a bit on the smaller side, but otherwise was excellent, very clean, with a good sized bathroom. The bar is lovely with great service. The hotel strives for luxury, and succeeds in many ways, but was seriously let down by the breakfast service. The manager was very good, but the rest of the staff seemed, at best, disinterested. Food was delivered and the servers said almost nothing, did not look at us, and nobody came by to ensure that everything was okay. That is an area that needs serious improvement if the Castle wants to deliver a truly luxurious experience

Exceptional hotel. How often do you get to stay in castle, a historic real castle with all the modern amenities to make it super comfortable. The staff are all friendly and very accommodating to all your needs. When it comes to cleanliness it was spotless. Even the highest end hotels have flaws here and there but I honestly I couldn’t find anything. If you are ever in the Dublin area I would highly recommend finding a way to stay here. Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
