Noisy. No parking. No elevator. Staff was not very helpful and did not give friendly vibes. QR codes for tipping everywhere. Room was not great; Small TV. Bathroom is terrible. Check-in at 4:00, and nothing earlier. Don’t buy their “chocolates” it’s expired.

We arrived at Barberstown castle for a Romantic Friday night at a beautiful country location . My partner arrived at 6:45pm , 30 minutes before me and was forced to pay if she wanted to check in , I had booked the room and wanted to pay, It also seems they close the kitchen at 8:30pm, the dining room was full and the other ( external ) bar areas were closed , the restaurant and bar were booked out with casual diners, wedding and confirmation groups , we were advised to drive to Clane or Maynooth for food , we were advised to call and book these in advance , i later reviewed the hotel manual and suggested room service , they agreed but insisted I pay 12 euro room delivery charge, pay at the room door for the food … like a Takeaway but for a cold , but beautiful tasting small portioned meal … This is the Ryan air of Hotels , they create a problem and then charge you for it citing ‘ company rules and training ‘ they have lost the whole concept of ‘ Customer Experience’ I expect a little more Hospitality for 279.00 euro for one night.

Stunning, amazing and can’t wait to go back

One complaint- couldn’t stay another night. The staff where amazing, the food amazing, the room was out of this world and the price for the night was the cheapest I could find to walk into such a luxury hotel I couldn’t believe it. The rooms were very warm during the night but we are in a heat wave but can only say exceptional and can’t wait to go back there

Great stay!

We stayed here for 1 night as a stop over to Belfast. Room was comfortable, a little hot but they supplied us with a fan when we asked. Ate in the bar, food was beautiful and very reasonable. Grounds are lovely and well kept. It was recommended by a friend and we were delighted with our stay.
