We have just been this weekend for my husband's 40th birthday and had a fantastic time. The hotel is simply beautiful, especially at night with all the Christmas lights and decorations. The room was clean and unlike previous reviewers, we had no trouble with staff or getting drinks. Food was top rate, both breakfast and the meal we had in Fahrenheit - my husband is still raving about his steak!

Beautiful boutique spacious rooms, ipod dock, free standing bath, a bedthat went on forever. Clontarf Castle is a magical experience, we wentat Christmas so there was a particularly special atmosphere, but themedieval castle blended with boutique hotel, is going to be special anymonth of the year. Lovely staff, unique and luxurious decor, and acracking breakfast too.

We stayed in Dublin for 3 days and 2 nights and wanted something away from the tourist attractions. We were very happy with Clontarf. The hotel has a neat castle exterior and the grounds are well maintained. The interior of the hotel feels more like a modern business hotel with large rooms that are comfortable and clean.

Came to Dublin from London on business, last stop before heading backto Florida. I was only here for one night, I picked this hotel as it wasin between the airport and the city, which was perfect as I had toattend meetings in Eastpoint ( a nearby business hub). The hotel wasvery busy with a conference when I arrived. Check in was prompt andefficient, I ate in the Knights bar, which is not your standard hotelbar per se but more like a locals bar.

We stayed at Clontarf for our entire 8 day honeymoon in Ireland. We arrived so early and they were able to get us checked in right away, which was great for us jet lagged Americans. The food was great, the service was outstanding and the room was so great. The beds and pillows were comfy! The slippers and robes were a great touch! I was even happy to have my first Guinness COLD! The conceriege, by far, made our stay 100% perfect.

My best friend and I flew from N.C. to Ireland for a 7-night self-drive tour. We spent our first night in Dublin at Clontarf Castle. It was almost a magical experience. There was so much to see, it was very medieval in a modern kind of way. I especially wanted great pictures to take home to show everyone and some of our best indoor pictures were taken here. 

Travelled with my husband and 10 month old baby daughter. From thebooking to the departure all the staff could not have been any morehelpful and so polite too. Being the first time we stayed in a hotelwith our daughter we didn't think to request a room with a bath ratherthan the sumptious showers that can be provided- not a problem heresimply wisked away to another wonderful room with bath and showerfacilities.
