We arrived early after our flight from the USA. The hotel let us check in and recommended a nice Italian restaurant Casa Something by the waterfront. Wow all I can say is you would have thought I was the king of the castle. Everything was perfect. If you go try the noble knight in the bar/lounge or the old fashion made the castle way. Superb service, accommodations are 6 star s. Beats all the Michelin 5 star restaurants in the USA.

Really Impressive

I recently stayed at this hotel and I have to say, I was really impressed! The service was excellent from the moment I arrived. The staff were friendly and genuinely seemed to care about making my stay enjoyable. The room was cozy and clean, which is a huge plus for me. There’s nothing better than walking into a fresh space after a long drive. Speaking of which, parking was a breeze—no complicated procedures or long walks to the entrance. Overall, it was a really comfortable stay, and I left feeling rested and happy. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a hassle-free experience!

We stayed one night at Clontarf Castle Hotel at the end of our trip and it was a great way to wrap things up. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable, which we really appreciated after a busy travel schedule. Dinner in the Knight’s Bar was excellent. The food was great, the staff were attentive and friendly, and the Guinness was poured just right. Reception staff were also very welcoming and helpful, making check-in smooth and stress-free. The hotel is conveniently located close to Dublin Airport and the free parking was a big bonus. The castle setting adds a unique charm, and everything felt relaxed yet refined. The only small issue we noticed was with the washrooms outside the Knight’s Bar. The women’s washroom was out of toilet paper, and the men’s had quite a bit of paper on the floor with water on the counter. It wasn’t a huge deal, but it stood out compared to the otherwise high standards throughout the hotel. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would gladly return. Clontarf Castle offers comfort, great food, friendly service, and a touch of character you won’t find in a typical hotel near the airport.

, the service in the bar was very slow , so you wait 15 minutes to be served facing a large coffee machine to be told no coffee available !!! The room had no bath towels , reception said you should have phoned down we would have brought some , that doesn’t help when you are standing dripping having got out of the shower to discover no towels
