    Breakfast wasn’t included for that price. The pillows were big and not real soft.

    The room was a good size and clean.

    The only thing we didn't like (literally the only thing!) was that we couldn't get Netflix on the tv!

    We loved the location, the hospitality and the luxury. The breakfast was divine. It was a belated anniversary trip for us and our first weekend away without kids in 5 years and it was fabulous! A real treat and we were treated like royalty!

    Nothing at all

    Excellent staff, I had booked the wrong day and arrived a day early, they were so accommodating changed my booking and gave me a great room. I only used the bar for a short time which was busy with a great atmosphere and the service was perfect. Couldn't have been happier by how they handled my mistake and the service given.

    The location was far from the center. If you didn't drive/rent a car it took 2-4 bus and or trams to get to a location, or taxi back and forth.

    The castle was very pretty and the staff was attentive and helpful

    Beautiful oasis of a hotel in the middle of a small town just outside Dublin. We wanted something close to the airport and not “run-of-the-mill” and found the clontarf. We liked it so much we are planning to stay again in our return to the Dublin airport. Wonderful lively restaurant also. Free parking is available in the front lot, just feet from the front door. The hotel is built around an old castle and you can see some of the exterior castle walls from the front lobby. It is all very charming!

    I cant think of any. If there is anything I didnt like I should remember it and right now, all I have are pleasant memories of our stay. The place is something you get in the movies and I can say its magical.

    We went for dinner with my friends and the service of the Filipina girl is amazing. (Im sorry I forgot her name) Shes exceptional and very pleasant when serving us.

    There wasn't anything we didn't like.

    It is a beautiful mix of the old castle and new modern amenities. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed the food and drinks at the Knights Bar and the breakfast buffet had an amazing spread. We also liked being out of the city center at the end of each day and enjoyed the quietness for sleeping.

    The hotel doesn't sell bottled sodas. My husband was told if he wanted bottled sodas he would have to walk (or drive) to a nearby convenience store several blocks from the hotel.

    This is our third visit to the Clontarf Castle Hotel. We like the breakfast buffet, the elegant atmosphere of the decor, and that it is outside of the city center, Dublin.

    While we loved our room and thought the bed was comfy, we had an issue with how full & hard the pillows were. We wish there had been a softer, slightly thinner pillow option.

    We loved the location in proximity to the airport for our final night in Ireland. We enjoyed walking around and looking at the original parts of the castle. The bar dining was perfect for us & breakfast was very nice as well. The room was fantastic.
