Good points: Our stay was good enough for the money, breakfast was included too. Very clean. Staff friendly. Great location for Rotunda and Mater hospitals. Very warm in all hotel. Bad points: couldn’t have late checkout, we asked couple we stay till 1pm and they guy in reception told us “the room cleaners start working at 12 so you need to leave”, never heard that before in my life. Every hotel has late checkout option I thought.

Not much for a lot of money!”

This was the last night of our vacation s so we decided to splurge. To make a long story short, we had to carry our bags up the stairs for flights because the elevator wasn't working. We got to a bedroom that was ice cold. We took a shower that could only last 3 minutes because if we showered longer water would flood on the floor. The television only had one channel. The breakfast that was included was comprised of an apple, juice, and a very small processed blueberry muffin. The staff was totally unresponsive to any of our requests for help. We couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Mother/Daughter Getaway”

My daughter and I completely enjoyed our stay at the Castle Hotel. The proximity to Dublin center was most convenient. We especially loved the Vault Restaurant. The food was delicious and the staff exceptional! Our room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was newly renovated. We arrived during a heat wave. The hotel provided a fan to compensate. Getting around from the hotel was easy! We took a cab from the airport (not recommended). We were charged $35 euros for an 8 minute ride. There are numerous buses from the airport that drop off very close to the hotel! We look forward to coming back soon. I highly recommend the Castle Hotel for your stay in Dublin! You will not be disappointed!

The Castle Hotel - A great place to stay!”

The Castle Hotel is a privately owned hotel at the top of O'Connell Street, the main drag in Dublin. It is fabulously located, and the staff are magnificent. If you are lucky (as we were) you might even get to meet the owner Finn, who brings great cheer to all those he meets. The reception staff were totally there to assist, which was greatly appreciated as I had some tricky business issues to deal with. Internet was great. All in all, a terrific property. Thanks to all at The Castle Hotel.

A hotel worth exploring. ”

Castle Hotel is in the heart of Dublin, so it's a little noisy and parking is unique. I also would not recommend it for someone who has trouble with stairs. But if you enjoy beautiful hotels with lots of history and enclaves to explore, lovely restaurants, and accommodating staff, you won't care about the drawbacks.

Reviewed May 17, 2017

Dear Donna Thank you for your valuable feedback. The Castle Hotel buildings do date back to 1769 and although we do have 2 lifts which service all floors there are quite a few internal stairs to negotiate. However we are always happy to accept special requests and would be happy to accommodate anyone who may have trouble with stairs in an area close to the lift. This is a very historic hotel being one of Dublin's oldest and I am delighted you enjoyed your stay. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kindest Regards Yvonne O'Keeffe General Manager

The location was great! Very close to the old city center, north of the River Liffey. This is the oldest hotel in Dublin so don't expect anything super modern and fancy, but the hotel definitely has character and a strong sense of history. There's a traditional Irish restaurant in the basement, and the breakfast was really great! Definitely recommend it if you have time in the morning.

Location was great 10 mins walk from Temple Bar but with lots of nice bars and restaurants within a couple minutes walk. The hotel cave bar entertainment was good and drink prices were Ok. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were brilliant, very helpful and informative. The only thing that was disappointing for us was there was no bath only a shower and the water pressure in the shower wasn't very good. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you want a quieter stay in Dublin away from the partying in Temple Bar.

Super friendly and efficient staff, superb location and good breakfast

I was here for the Websummit 2015 and found that the hotel is more than 200 years old. However, it has modern comfort and amenities. The rooms are slightly small for my comfort but otherwise you will get use to the cozy space. The location is excellent because you are just 10 mins away from city center and 3 mins tour operators. I have to say that the staff here are super friendly and efficient. They attend to all your needs with just 1 request. I am happy to recommend anyone to stay in Castle Hotel.
