When I arrived the electricity was going in and out so they were working off of generators and the lifts were down. My room was on the 3rd floor so I wasn’t going to carry suitcases up 3 flights of stairs. I left my bags at the front desk and they said they would bring them up when the lift was working. I just arrived after a 12 hour flight and just wanted to relax but all of my stuff was at the front desk. I waited almost 2 hours and finally went down to check and the lift was working so I brought up my bags. The room was nice with a comfortable bed.

I chose the Clontarf Castle because it was on our bucket list to stay in a castle. It is a beautiful, clean, updated hotel and we very much enjoyed our stay. It is located in the suburbs so it was inconvenient and expensive to taxi to/from Dublin to sightsee and meet up with our tour but it is a much nicer place to stay than the hotels I saw in Dublin City.

Breakfast was delicious, however for all 3 days we had breakfast they would ask us if we wanted coffee or tea, I would order a cappuccino and they wouldn’t bring it until my husband or I would ask a second time- all 3 days! The room was clean and the service was great! The castle was beautiful

Very expensive hotel and we had a nasty surprise. There was wedding in the hotel and we were not informed when we arrived. After returning from dinner at 10:30 pm we went to bed and the noise from the music at the wedding was atrocious. We could not sleep. When my wife complained we were offered free breakfast the next day!!!
