Castle Hotel

The historical atmosphere & the location were excellent. The cleaning staff was superb & the room was super clean. The continental breakfast was a wonderful way to start our day. We enjoyed the availability of nightly entertainment & thought it was of high caliber.

Several members of the staff remembered me over the course of the week, so when I came in to pick up my room key each night, they quickly got it for me. I did not have a chance to have the full Irish breakfast or the dinner, but the continental breakfast spread was actually quite nice, and I wish I'd gone there a few more of my days. The room was such a peaceful spot for me to unwind each night, really like my own little suite! Oh, and the price I paid was literally hundreds less than most spots, even less than hotels with fewer stars. Fifteen minutes' walk from Trinity College, and a straight shot down O'Connell Street to get there, too. For my needs, this was the perfect place to stay in Dublin.

Superb location with easy access to bus lines. Wonderful staff, always available to help. Room cleanup was near-perfect. The breakfast options (continental buffet upstairs, and traditional Irish downstairs) are excellent. The evening music programs were quite good overall (Ray Cox was a fantastic performer), and the restaurant is very acceptable. The overall place has plenty of charm and although it was quite occupied during our stay, noise was never an issue during the nights.

Breakfast was more than perfect, good variety and great coffee. The staff serving breakfast were super helpful and welcoming . Location was really great close to restaurants , shopping and bus stations and a walking distance to the river . I loved the decoration and the style of the reception and restaurants

The check-in staff was wonderful. We arrived early and they were happy to stow our luggage while we wandered Dublin. They went out of their way to try to get the room ready for us early and though unsuccessful, we appreciated their effort. The breakfast is two options - continental offered in the upstairs restaurant and full service Irish breakfast downstairs. The Irish breakfast is HUGE and delicious. They offer live music Friday evening and we were able to enjoy a pint of Guinness and enjoy the singer who was quite good. The location is perfect! We were able to walk down the steps and catch cabs almost immediately or just stroll a few minutes to be in the thick of things on O'Connell Street. *** Please note if you are a wheelchair user, ask about elevators. The only one we saw and used a few times would not accommodate a wheelchair. We didn't need the access but it's something we notice as we travel with older family members. There are a number of stairs required to get to many of the rooms, restaurants within the hotel and out the front.
