Horrible hotel. Uneven floors, uneven bed. Feet were higher than head. Phone did not work. Shower water temperature constantly changed from scalding to freezing. Thin walls made it noisy. Street noise made sleeping difficult. Pillows were pathetically thin. Two together added to about two inches. TV is tiny and remote control could not turn it on. Luggage holder was broken... More

Not an attractive outside appearance may put the non booked person off but step inside and the story changes. We were also concerned as parking may not be available or costs. However after riding in rain all day from Killarney our fears were relieved. They allowed us secure parking and even undercover, which was soon joined by 6 more motorcycles!.... More

My son and I just came back from 5 days at the Castle. We were just looking for a place to shower and sleep while we traveled around the city, but I think we got much more. The hotel was clean, safe and much larger than it looked. The clientele was totally international. It was a great chance to hang... More

Go in fall spring or winter there is no air conditioning. My room was on the street up 3 floors and to be cool I had to keep the window open. With the window open I could not hear TV unless turning the volume way up. The shower had a very poor drain and people going up and down the... More

My wife and four year old stayed here for 4 nights around the start of April. On arrival we placed our luggage in the holding area and there we met the owner of the hotel. Had a chat to him for a while, went out for some lunch and came back. My general advice for the hotel is, request a... More

I was swayed by the website and description of the place when I made reservations. The only thing the Castle Hotel had going for it (as far as we were concerned) was the location as it is conveniently located in Dublin and we could walk to many major sites that we wanted to get to. The room was hot and... More

If you like staying at a chain box hotel, then don't stay at the Castle Hotel! This hotel is for people who enjoy tripping into the past at every corner! This hotel is filled to the brim with antique furnishings and super interesting mismatched everything. It made me feel like I was just invited to stay at someone’s Victorian home... More

Our 3rd stay at The Castle Hotel in 4 trips. Welcomed by the staff who recognized us as repeat customers and gave us the same beautiful and funky room as our last visit. If you need shiny surfaces, ultra-modern furnishings, are bothered by carpeting that isn't boringly uniform and can only find a room that is in a straight line... More

A group of 8 of us stayed here for 2 nights to celebrate my dads 65th birthday and from the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff couldn't have looked after us any better. Really nice staff, good food and great craic in the castle vault. Great location for exploring the city, would definitely recommend this hotel... More
