Clontarf Castle Hotel

We delt with a wonderful staff member. Her name her is Sinead Moloney.

Sinead managed our booking from the moment we came to the hotel reception desk. She made our booking very straight forward.

We booked the Fahrenheit Restaurant for 5:30pm.

I would highly recommend asking to deal with sinead as she did an excellent job.

If you are planning a Birthday, Wedding, or even a Surprise Party. Sinead is your person to go to. 

We had a fantastic time in clontarf castle celebrating Sophie’s big day for her confirmation on the 12th of march.

The service and food was outstanding and we couldn’t have been happier. One of the managers towards the end of our meal gave Sophie a beautiful lion teddy bear from the hotel staff to mark her day.
It was such a beautiful touch and ended the day perfectly, it's little things like that, that mean the most especially in times of uncertainty.

It was a lovely experience and sinead offered to do us free personalised menus they were absolutely perfect so thank you so much for doing them for us. We really appreciate it. 

Clontarf castle is a very special place along with amazing staff, food and atmosphere. We will most definitely be back again and from Sophie, myself, Alan and all the family thank you so much for making the day so special.

I can see why many people choose to come here. 

Kind regards,

Breffini Mooney

Beautiful place to stay. Saul & Silva made our breakfast an excellent experience.

The stay was incredible!!! The rooms were comfy but the most important part was the staff where I met two lovely hard working ladies named Yvonne and Helen and they made me feel so welcome to Ireland and better yet made my experience even more amazing at the Clontarf Castle Hotel.

My husband and I recently spent two nights at Clontarf Castle Hotel, and it was truly the highlight of our Dublin trip. If you’re looking for somewhere with a bit of history and character that doesn’t compromise on modern comfort, this is the place. It’s just a short taxi ride from the city center, but it feels like a peaceful world away.

The hotel itself is simply stunning. Walking through the original stone archways into the beautifully designed lobby was such a 'wow' moment. They’ve done a marvelous job of blending the historic Norman architecture with very chic, contemporary interiors.

Our room was wonderfully spacious and impeccably clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable honestly, I haven't slept that well in years! We had a lovely view of the grounds, and the heavy linens and plush pillows felt like such a luxury.

We had dinner at the Fahrenheit Restaurant on our first night, and the setting under the vaulted ceilings was so romantic. The food was top notch, especially the local seafood. We also spent a very cozy evening in the Knights Bar, which has a crackling fire and a fantastic atmosphere for a nightcap.

What really makes this hotel stand out is the staff. Everyone we encountered was so genuinely friendly and professional. From the concierge who gave us excellent tips for exploring the local Clontarf promenade to the breakfast staff who were so attentive, we felt very well looked after.

It’s the perfect spot for a special occasion or just a more unique stay in Dublin. I’ve already told my sisters they have to stay here when they visit next year. A five-star experience from start to finish!

Leandro has been excellent! Not only as a server but with recommendations.

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
