We stayed her the night before departing Ireland and Dublin. It was only 15 from the airport in the early morning. It had a decent pub and the hotel was very serviceable for the price. It was a little hard to find with the GPS embedded in a local neighborhood, but for the price and convenience to the airport, I would stay again.

As a couple we could hardly have had a better stay. What a wonderful hotel. The hotel was decorated and lite up for Christmas and it was stunning. Even without the Christmas touch the castle is sensational. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The food more than good, it was great. The room was beautifully decorated and the facilities were excellent. We could not have hoped for or enjoyed a better stay than the wonderful one we experienced.

Had the great pleasure of hosting a family Wedding Reception at Clontarf Castle in all it's splendour including the festive Christmas Lighting. Welcomed by Sarah Flavin General Manager and Matti Reuter Deputy General Manager, who were on hand for the duration and outside when photos were taking on a bright but chilly late afternoon to assist in every way possible. Must also mention Leo and the team serving dinner who were great ambassadors for the hotel. Welcome and Service was outstanding at every touch point from arrival to checkout, the best 24 hours ever. Accommodations were also fab. Food was specular, cooked to order, dinner service and staff were on top of everything with no delays. Overall, the experience was par excellence and we would highly recommend a visit to Clontarf Castle. …

I was visiting our family in Dublin who suggested we go to Clontarf Castle Hotel for a drink and to let our grandson see the Christmas lights. It was very busy, and I was a bit overwhelmed by the formal setting, but the welcome was lovely. The staff were perfectly happy for us to sit by the Christmas tree in front of the fire and have our drinks, even though it was Sunday evening and very busy. The drinks were bought to us and they took time to interact with our small grandson. The customer service was excellent and the staff are a credit to the hotel.

3 generations traveling together found these accommodations excellent. Irani and Orin at the front desk were very friendly and helpful - especially to our young children. We had an overnight flight and they made every effort to get us into our room as early as possible. They provided great advice for tourism in Dublin and other parts of the country. We hope to return!

The castle and hotel were decorated beautifully for Christmas and the atmosphere was very welcoming. All the staff were very nice. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and the shower was perfect. I'd stay here again if I ever return to the Dublin area!

What a unique experience it was to stay at Clontarf Castle. We really enjoyed being able to wander around and see the artwork and history of the space. Our room was in the newer section and very comfortable. The service and amenities were exquisite. We dined at Farenheit for dinner and breakfast and it was 5*. We would definitely stay here again!
