We flew into Dublin and were staying only one night before traveling on to Kilkenny, so Clontarf was perfect as we did not want to be directly in the city. The hotel was very welcoming, we arrived several hours early and they were able to accommodate us. It was just a short taxi ride to the city to see a few sights. Once back at the hotel, we went to the bar for drinks and a few snacks. Breakfast was quick and everything we needed before the rest of our journey around Ireland began. We would stay at Clontarf again for sure.

Has potential; new management company might do it.
We were excited to end our anniversary trip in Ireland with a night at the Clontarf Castle Hotel. Staying a night at a castle seemed the perfect way to end our incredible trip. Good: Everything looked as advertised. The history was there on display; there was some beautiful art and other artifacts. The room I booked through Hotels.com looked like the room I got. Some of the staff were at the level I'd expect for this type of hotel. Not so good: Our rooms weren't ready when we arrived; we were told we'd be informed when they were ready but I had to go ask. The bed was on rollers and wouldn't stay put (we tried!) There was a mini-bar fridge but nothing in it. There were no toiletries in the room, you have to request them separately. There was no air circulation in the room. The food was not great. We did the lunch buffet & that was probably the best food we had there. For dinner, we tried to go to the hotel restaurant but were turned away for not having a reservation; the host was pretty rude about it. We went to the more pub-like restaurant but the vibe there was very kitsch, felt aimed at older American tourists. The menu was really mid, the tables were dirty and service was unbearably slow. We tried a signature cocktail, soup and salad & decided to leave & try room service. The wine was corked, the burger was dry, the cheese plate selection was odd. We received a refund for one of our meals upon checkout. We wanted to love this place, but we just couldn't.

We stayed at the castle for our last night in Ireland and to celebrate my husbands birthday. The staff were very kind in offering extra treats to help celebrate. Dinner was outstanding and our room was beautifully decorated as was the whole castle. It was a very special stay and I would recommend anyone visiting this area to stay at Clontarf Castle.

I slipped in the shower and think I probably tore my rotator cuff. When I told it to reception the next morning that they need a mat for the shower, there was no concern. I finally had to call her out on her lack of compassion.
