Clontarf Castle Hotel

The Clontarf Castle Hotel is stunning! My friend and I were there for a total of four nights and we loved it! The beauty and history alone make it worth it! However, the staff take it over the top! Everyone was so kind and truly cared about their guests. Our room attendants, Helen and Yvonne are a dynamic duo! They have been there for at least ten years and are the sweetest souls! We loved them! I highly recommend the Clontarf Castle Hotel!!!!

This is such an amazing hotel!!! The castle part is just so amazing.
All the staff was delightful -- especially Yvonne and Helen (the maids for our room), they just took the time to talk with us and just make sure all our needs were taken care of. The location was great and the rooms were clean and just lovely.
Special shout out....we left Dublin area for Killarney and then we were coming back 2 days later to the same hotel. They were so sweet and let us check in our bigger bags so we wouldn't need to take them on the train!
All in all....one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in!

We have been visiting Clontarf castle at least 25 years
Can not praise the hotel enough
Fabulous in every way
Last stay 29 feb
Highly reccomend and look forward to our next stay assp.

My fiance and me had a great stay. The receptionists were all lovely and competent, just like Saul and the other servants at breakfast! The appartement was awesome too. I can totally recommend to stay there, we also ate some good steaks and had some fine wines there!

Stayed this beautiful hotel in North Dublin 2 weeks ago for 1 night and ended up staying 3 more nights, the experience was so good….and then went back this week for 2 nights.. both times our stay was just unbelievably good.

First of all the staff and the front desk , Mirko, Vigay, Yana, and Gustavo, could not do enough for us. They were kind, very obliging, sorted out any little minor thing we needed, quickly and efficiently… and were extremely professional… (one of the reasons we will definitely book this hotel again..

Bar and Restaurant:
Food excellent as well as staff and a welcoming atmosphere..

Breakfast
Again food excellent, huge choice of breakfast items from porridge smoothies and cereals to hot items such as a full irish.. and the restaurant supervisor was very friendly and accommodating (no queues) and the serving staff the same..

Room
Very clean and the bed was very comfortable as we had a great sleep every time. The bathroom and shower great as well..

Gym
Small but had everything to work every muscle group..

Situated in a beautiful area, you have the seafront, St Annes Park (long walk) , Fairview park all walking distance from the Hotel. Also in Clontarf Village there are loads of artisan shops and a lot of very good restaurants all serving Italian, Thai , Bar food and Carveries.

We will be back!

My wife and I came here for our honeymoon after getting married and had a wonderful stay. The attention and warm welcome we received from Mirko from the front desk was delightful. Breakfast was delicious and was very well taken care of by Leandro and his staff. Never felt rushed even if we arrived right before they closed. Knights Bar was nice and cozy and food was marvelous. Thank you guys for an amazing experience at this wonderful castle hotel.

On arrival at the hotel ( my wife and I ) were greeted by a very professional and very helpful gentleman receptionist who showed all his experience of dealing with customers. The ambiance in the foyer was great with a large fire glowing in the fireplace. Our room on the third floor was bright, clean and warm. We dined in the Knights bar and Elaine and the staff couldn’t have been better. The food was superb. The interior of the hotel is fantastic with so much to catch the eye. We had breakfast in the Fahrenheit restaurant and again the staff members were superb and the breakfast delicious. This was definitely one of our best hotel stays ever. From start to finish our visit to Clontarf Castle hotel was excellent. Highly recommended.

Beautiful food very good atmosphere

Everything was lovely for breakfast. Leandro was so nice and attentive, and we would definitely visit again.

Our stay at Clontarf Castle was good but not perfect. I perhaps had to high an expectation after staying in Castle Leslie. The location was disappointing in the middle of lots of houses I had imagined Castle with wonderful grounds. I read reviews but my own fault I didn’t do more research. We booked in all very easy and friendly.
We had booked bed breakfast and dinner with wine and chocolate in room. However when we got to our attic (4th floor) room no wine or chocolate. After a long journey and hold ups we decided to go to Knights bar for hopefully a sandwich. It was busy but still free tables, lots of staff but not great service. No sandwich!
Room had a a glass bathroom door which I personally don’t like. Room was freezing however maintenance did attend twice and got it sorted. Our wine and chocolate did arrive after I asked.
Just all these little lapses made me wish I had gone to spend my 320 euro somewhere else.

I just got back from another great stay at Clontarf Castle, my go-to hotel in Dublin. It's tucked in a lovely, safe spot just outside the city with plenty of easy parking just outside the door.

I've stayed here many times, but this is my first review. Check-in with a friendly young lady from Ukraine was really smooth, thank you for the warm welcome after a complicated flight it was so nice to have such a pleasant check in, and the very helpful chap at checkout made everything effortless. Despite the chilly, wet weather, the hotel felt cozy and the inviting—rooms were spotless as always, beds nice and firm, and housekeeping was quick with extra towels and big smiles.

Breakfast was outstanding, a solid 10/10 with fantastic variety. The host and servers are genuinely the nicest folks! Shoutout to Albert from Barcelona—your cheerful help made our morning special, thanks so much.

I can't recommend Clontarf Castle enough—it's just perfect. Looking forward to May!

I stayed here recently with my husband and had a very enjoyable time. Our son had recommended this hotel to us and it didn't disappoint.

All the staff we engaged with were very welcoming and friendly. Our room was lovely and the bed and pillows were very comfortable and I had one of my best night's sleep.

The food was great, the buffet breakfast was extensive.

I look forward to staying here again.

We booked a night in Clontarf to celebrate the Bank Holiday weekend and our recent engagement. We've had an exceptional time and wanted to highlight the excellent food and service in the Fahrenheit restaurant - our server Sophie was exceptional!

Took the dine and stay with B&B for our wedding anniversary. I was pleased with our choice. Food was great room was comfortable and the drinks weren't quite as expensive as I expected for such a lovely setting so close to the city.
The staff here are attentive and service is excellent. The bar was very busy the evening we stayed, but the staff noticed we were sitting in the little snug, and came around to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room had a lovely 4 poster bed, coffee and tea were provided and the iron was a steam one, very handy. The only thing I would change would be to have a bath.
I would like to thank the staff for reuniting me with a bit of lost property, they very kindly sent in the post.
Can highly recommend a stay.

An absolutely stunning place with very friendly staff my room was immaculate and the breakfast was amazing ... will be back again

Clontarf Castle breakfast service is second to none. Staff are friendly and professional, especially the manager Evan Watson.

Staff are exceedingly helpful and genuinely nice. I would highly recommend the fahrenheit restaurant for a beautiful, relaxing meal. We have additional needs and the staff help us in a quiet manner not drawing attention to us. Reception are super efficient and always remember the special addition requirements so there is never a fuss. From reception to breakfast and even the young gardener, staff could not be more friendly and helpful. This is the perfect place to stay in Dublin.

A local told me this was the best hotel in Dublin that no many People know about and he was absolutely right. Clontarf Castle is a dream come true, you really feel in a medieval castle with the amenities of a 5 star hotel. Every corner is a piece of art. The restaurant is amazing specially for breakfast. But what I think makes this place even more special is the staff. Everyone was amazing, specially Amir from receptionist made my staying even better. Thank you Clontarf Castle Hotel for this amazing experience.

Lovely hotel, room was great with some corner seating which was a nice bonus. We were there for a chilled night and that was what we got. Staff where really nice and nothing was too much bother. Special thanks to Catherine on reception.

The place is beyond our expectations. Initially we just thought it’s cool to stay in a castle but the entire stay was way better. The castle is beautiful. The hotel is very nicely decorated. The room is decent sized and the bed is super comfortable. The food is very good for both breakfast and dinner. And last but definitely not the least, the hotel staff are amazing and the service level is top notch. Strongly recommend it.
