Hotel and location

The Castle Hotel is a beautifully restored Georgian property situated in the heart of Dublin City Centre and is just a 2 minute walk from O`Connell Street, Dublin`s principal thoroughfare. The hotel has recently been renovated and many of the original features have been kept intact such as sweeping staircases, crystal chandeliers, antique mirrors and marble fireplaces. A 5 minute walk will take you into the heart of the city giving you access to the shops of Grafton Street, the Guinness Factory and Croke Park. The bars and clubs of Temple bar are less than a 10 minute walk away across the river and the hotel has excellent links to the airport with the AirCoach stopping directly on O`Connell Street.

Room and facilities

The hotel has 130 spacious and elegantly furnished bedrooms, all of which have en-suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, flat screen TV and tea & coffee making facilities. The Hotel boasts two eateries, The Castle Vaults Restaurant which has a fabulous exposed vaulted ceiling which was part of the original 19th-century wine cellars, offering modern cuisine, a pre-theatre menu and an evening á la carte menu along with live traditional Irish music at weekends, and the newly opened Old Music Shop Restaurant, set in an historic Georgian Room overlooking Findlater`s 19th-century Gothic Revival Church, offering an all day menu of gourmet snacks and meals. There is also a sheltered terrace, ideal for al fresco dining.

Will definitely come again - just two things - could you sort out the squeaky stairs and employ more staff for the restaurant at the weekend. Took ages to get our meal and felt sorry for them as they were rushed off their feet!...

Dublin is a vibrant, wonderfully friendly city and Castle Hotel a great base for our stay. A slightly rambling old building with an interesting history and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Our 3rd floor room was small but cosy, with windows that opened, and well appointed fixtures and fittings. Be aware that the toilet was located in a very narrow space, go for a deluxe room if you want to be guaranteed more space. Our bedroom faced the main street with a constant flow of traffic and city sounds; we rather liked the atmosphere. Ear plugs might be a good idea for some. In the main staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful; the exception being some of the Reception Team who were somewhat detached. Although helpful when questions were asked a little more interaction would have made for a more welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast was good and other food on offer was of a high standard at reasonable prices. All in all a very enjoyable place to stay....
