Had a lovely weekend stay in this hotel. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Great selection for breakfast and the porridge was excellent (rare in most hotels). Tea and coffee in the room which I always appreciate and an extra touch was an ice machine in the corridor. Spa area was lovely and... More

We stayed here on a weekend break to go to the Medieval Banquet & Folk Park. The hotel is within walking distance of both. The hotel is lovely. The staff helpful and friendly. The room was spacious with two kingsize beds. Small touches were nice like faceclothes and bathsheets instead of bath towels. It also had an iron and ironing... More

Hotel is located just next to the Bunratty Castle… and nothing more there (except restaurants). But castle is enough for me, I spent there almost three afternoons. I spent in hotel one week and enjoyed that pleasant place a lot. Well appointed clean rooms are very quiet due to the fact that the hotel is ….. Kettle with good amount... More

My husband booked this stay with the Banquet included, as a surprise for my birthday. First impressions were good, we checked in easily, staff friendly etc. My husband was annoyed that the receptionist blew his surprise by asking about what time we wanted to go to the Banquet (as he had said on booking it was a surprise!). Our room... More

Im very sorry to hear about your experience during your recent stay at Bunratty Castle Hotel. It not the norm that the Banquet would cancel without notice and expecially in Janurary as there are very few banquets running at this time of year, I will look into this and check if we did get notice of this cancellation. I have... More

Our family spent two nights at Bunratty, including New Year's Eve. The hotel is very nice - large, clean rooms, excellent amenities, etc. My daughter and I enjoyed an afternoon in at the spa and our whole family loved touring the castle grounds and eating and drinking at Durty Nelly's and the Creamery.

Although I have said we stayed in February 2011, we actually stayed here in September 2010, but as I am only getting around to do this now, the dates dont go back that far. My boyfriend has always talked about the banquet in Bunratty and how he would always wanted to go. We stayed in September 2010 and had a... More

Stayed a week at this beautiful hotel and had a wonderful time. Excellent service, immaculate housekeeping, attentive staff, great location, excellent food, close proximity to everything, and excellent value. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. (a word of caution: do not place credit card calls from the room. The prices were beyond absurd. I was charged 29.00 us dollars... More

Despite the fact that the Bunratty Castle hotel is a quick drive from the airport, we arrived tired, cantankerous (that would be my husband) and white knuckled (that would be me). Immediately, the old hotel's intrinsic charm with it's lovely grounds and charming facade put us at ease. The old interior woodwork does show signs of wear but this is... More
