Castle Hotel

Loved the quirky quaintness of the hotel layout -- easy to get lost, but fun! Loved the choice of breakfasts. Most of all, loved the nightly live music in the downstairs pub. High score on cleanliness. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is great -- only a 12 minute walk to the center but far enough that it's quiet at night.

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.

We got there at 6:30am and they told us that our room was ready for us. We thought we would have to leave our bags and wait until the usual 2pm check in. It was so nice to get some sleep. My family loved the free Irish breakfast but I loved the free continental breakfast that was upstairs. Fresh pastries, fruit, cheese, meats, pancake maker, and fabulous coffee and juices. The location was a few minutes walk to shopping areas and temple bar. But it was so quiet, except for the seagulls.

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.

Fantastic hotel Rooms are lovely and comfortable very clean 👌 room service every day Staff are absolutely a delight and couldn't do enough for you Evening food is so delicious and large portions we were here for 4 nights, so there is plenty of choice for you to choose from continental breakfast is the best I have seen the choices was amazing the location is fantastic it only takes 10 minutes to walk to the town We have all ready made enquiries about returning next year
