“Booking Fahrenheit Restaurant”
+We delt with a wonderful staff member. Her name her is Sinead Moloney. Sinead managed our booking from the moment we came to the hotel reception desk. She made our booking very straight forward. We booked the Fahrenheit Restaurant for 5:30pm. I would highly recommend asking to deal with sinead as she did an excellent job. If you are planning a Birthday, Wedding, or even a Surprise Party. Sinead is your person to go to. We had a fantastic time in clontarf castle celebrating Sophie’s big day for her confirmation on the 12th of march. The service and food was outstanding and we couldn’t have been happier. One of the managers towards the end of our meal gave Sophie a beautiful lion teddy bear from the hotel staff to mark her day. It was such a beautiful touch and ended the day perfectly, it's little things like that, that mean the most especially in times of uncertainty. It was a lovely experience and sinead offered to do us free personalised menus they were absolutely perfect so thank you so much for doing them for us. We really appreciate it. Clontarf castle is a very special place along with amazing staff, food and atmosphere. We will most definitely be back again and from Sophie, m

“A great welcome to Ireland”
+The stay was incredible!!! The rooms were comfy but the most important part was the staff where I met two lovely hard working ladies named Yvonne and Helen and they made me feel so welcome to Ireland and better yet made my experience even more amazing at the Clontarf Castle Hotel.

“A magical stay in a real Irish castle”
+My husband and I recently spent two nights at Clontarf Castle Hotel, and it was truly the highlight of our Dublin trip. If you’re looking for somewhere with a bit of history and character that doesn’t compromise on modern comfort, this is the place. It’s just a short taxi ride from the city center, but it feels like a peaceful world away. The hotel itself is simply stunning. Walking through the original stone archways into the beautifully designed lobby was such a 'wow' moment. They’ve done a marvelous job of blending the historic Norman architecture with very chic, contemporary interiors. Our room was wonderfully spacious and impeccably clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable honestly, I haven't slept that well in years! We had a lovely view of the grounds, and the heavy linens and plush pillows felt like such a luxury. We had dinner at the Fahrenheit Restaurant on our first night, and the setting under the vaulted ceilings was so romantic. The food was top notch, especially the local seafood. We also spent a very cozy evening in the Knights Bar, which has a crackling fire and a fantastic atmosphere for a nightcap. What really makes this hotel stand out is the staff. Everyone we

“Doesn’t get any better than this!”
+The Clontarf Castle Hotel is stunning! My friend and I were there for a total of four nights and we loved it! The beauty and history alone make it worth it! However, the staff take it over the top! Everyone was so kind and truly cared about their guests. Our room attendants, Helen and Yvonne are a dynamic duo! They have been there for at least ten years and are the sweetest souls! We loved them! I highly recommend the Clontarf Castle Hotel!!!!

“A castle and a hotel that are just grand!”
+This is such an amazing hotel!!! The castle part is just so amazing. All the staff was delightful -- especially Yvonne and Helen (the maids for our room), they just took the time to talk with us and just make sure all our needs were taken care of. The location was great and the rooms were clean and just lovely. Special shout out....we left Dublin area for Killarney and then we were coming back 2 days later to the same hotel. They were so sweet and let us check in our bigger bags so we wouldn't need to take them on the train! All in all....one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in!

“Best Experience Ever”
+Stayed this beautiful hotel in North Dublin 2 weeks ago for 1 night and ended up staying 3 more nights, the experience was so good….and then went back this week for 2 nights.. both times our stay was just unbelievably good. First of all the staff and the front desk , Mirko, Vigay, Yana, and Gustavo, could not do enough for us. They were kind, very obliging, sorted out any little minor thing we needed, quickly and efficiently… and were extremely professional… (one of the reasons we will definitely book this hotel again.. Bar and Restaurant: Food excellent as well as staff and a welcoming atmosphere.. Breakfast Again food excellent, huge choice of breakfast items from porridge smoothies and cereals to hot items such as a full irish.. and the restaurant supervisor was very friendly and accommodating (no queues) and the serving staff the same.. Room Very clean and the bed was very comfortable as we had a great sleep every time. The bathroom and shower great as well.. Gym Small but had everything to work every muscle group.. Situated in a beautiful area, you have the seafront, St Annes Park (long walk) , Fairview park all walking distance from the Hotel. Also in Clontarf Village there a
