My wife, daughter and I just spent two nights at the Clontarf. Everything was great from the beginning, we arrived before check-in time, our room was ready, the staff was very helpful! The room was fabulous, modern, and very clean! The staff was very helpful and told us how to get to the bus, and taxi's if we wished. The... more

We spent only one night at the Clontarf Hotel, but we absolutely loved it. The Hotel is situated in a nice and quiet residential area, about 10 minutes away from the main city centre. The facade is of a 16th century castle, but the rooms have a wonderful modern and cozy style. The bathroom was super clean and nice with... more

This castle is very cool and chic. The room was amazing, with the most comfortable beds and a really nice size bathroom. We had a large window to open for air and really enjoyed our stay there. It's about a 15 minute cab ride from downtown Dublin, but if don't want to go too far, they have a great bar... more

Excellent hotel with excellent front of house staff, particularly Carmen. I decided, at the last minute, to surprise my girlfriend with flowers in our room. I called the hotel on the morning we were due to arrive and, in spite of the very late notice, Carmen was able to arrange for a fantastic bunch of flowers (of the exact type... more

My husband and I had a fantastic romantic long weekend at the hotel at the beginning of June. We had a four poster room. The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. On our 3rd day we had intended an early start for sight seeing but only woke up at 9.45am, we were dead to the world! Breakfast lovely.... more

I loved everything about this hotel. The executive room was so comfortable that I had the first uninterrupted night's sleep in months. The four-poster was impressive, the bathroom was luxurious and the reception staff were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. One staff member even printed details of the Dublin Viking festival from the internet for... more

Just returned from a stay at the Clontarf Castle Hotel, and while it wasn't a horrible experience, we did expect so much more from a hotel that bills itself as 4-star. Visually, this is a beautiful property and the rooms are nicely decorated and modern. It's also a very clean hotel. But that's really where it all ends. I guess... more

Dear Guest, Due to a technical error on our booking engine for 24 hours, a rate was shown on our website of €12.80 instead of €128.00. The rate of €12.80 showed for every day that we were really selling at €128.00. We received some bookings based on this rate and as such contracted all guests as soon as possible who...

I saw what was a good rate for a two night stay in there hotel so made the reservation using credit card. Confirmation arrived inside ten minutes but noticed breakfast was not included so rang them up that afternoon (Saturday) to be told that there is nobody to help me with this and would have to ring back next week.... more
