Just in case you think this is one of those pseudo castles, it’s not! This is an actual castle with some modern add-ons. Beautifully refurbished with great food and drinks, wonderful service, and fun nooks and crannies. You will love it! Only drawback is there’s not much around in the way of entertainment or food. Great for the night before your flight out of Dublin, as it’s closer to the airport than the city center.

Overall, nice hotel due to friendly staff and great breakfast. Room and bed were comfortable. The carpets in our room and the hallways look a little worn and tired. Replacing them could make a big difference.

This was my second stay at the Clontarf Castle. I highly recommend a visit here as it is so unique! The rooms are comfortable, the staff is so friendly & it is just a quick Uber ride in the City Center. It is also just a few blocks to the bus line which can also take you into the City Center. This visit I was traveling alone & felt very safe exploring Dublin!
