The staff were extremely friendly and couldn`t do enough for you. Double room was a goods size. The food was excellent and the evening music was a nice touch. Good value for money.

"Brilliant staff"

This is a lovely little hotel with brilliant, friendly , helpful staff. The food is good also. Only let down was the terrible towels (thin, hard & very small) in the bathroom & the shower is hopeless. The water pressure is intermittent & it seems as if someone turns a tap on that reduces the hot water flow as soon as you step into it. The rooms are lovel & it is in a very accessible location .

"Comfortable room, lovely food, brilliant entertainment."

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!

"very noisy hotel hearing traffic outside and very loud squeaky floorboards and doors. "

our stay at the hotel was good overall. Kettle was dirty with brown water in it when we arrived - just didnt use it after that. Bathroom was clean but some wobbly floor tiles and shower curtain was not wide enough to draw fully around to block outside window which looked out onto the main street. Breakfast was chaos but staff friendly

"Good Location."

Good location, pleasant and helpful staff. Menu quite limited, had the smallest fish and chips I ever saw. Changed to a deluxe double room for which I paid an extra twenty pounds a night at reception, wonder what the non deluxe was like as the deluxe was nothing special, deluxe just a bit larger I assume. Ceiling lighting didn`t work, no safe in room, heating on timed so can get cold in November and shower-toilet small and Wi Fi erratic.

"Comfortable hotel near city centre"

Stayed for three nights on sightseeing visit to Dublin. Double room was well equipped and warm. Great breakfasts. Ate in Vaults bar one evening and listened to great singer another - didn`t really need to go out at nights on such a short visit. Only criticism - could do with double glazing to keep traffic noise and draughts out. Would definitely stay here again.

"Friendly and professional"

A good hotel, in an excellent location. The staff were friendly and professional. A minor problem with water pressure in the shower one day but I think that was being sorted the weekend we were there.

From the ladies and security man (Pat) on reception to the staff on the bar, you could not fault the hotel service. A fantastic weekend in Dublin, all 10 of us enjoyed it very much!

Everyone was very friendly, the hotel was clean and tidy and breakfast good. No problems except next time I would ask not to have a room facing Oconell street as the traffic was noisey and I must sleep with the windows open

"A comfortable, excellently located hotel just off vibrant O`Connell Street."

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.

"A pleasant stay"

We stayed at the Castle Hotel for a long weekend. We had booked a double room and were surprised to be allocated a twin room, a long way from the reception, and one with a dreary view overlooking the back of the hotel. The staff responded quickly and we were re-allocated a double room, this time much closer to the centre of the hotel, with a view overlooking the car park which was okay. The room was comfortable, airy and with an excellent bathroom. We ate at the hotel on one evening with family - food was good, service attentive. The hotel is large and they could not cope with the numbers all arriving for breakfast at the same time. On the first morning we were sent to an `overflow` breakfast room downstairs - the second morning we had to wait for 10 minutes for a table (anywhere) to become free. The third morning we got wise and went down much later, when we reckoned the main rush would have gone. Overall a successful stay, aided by the very friendly and helpful staff.

"Most pleasant and easy stay"

Staying here has been one of the most pleasant hotel experiences I,ve had. Everything is straightforward, the staff are relaxed and polite, and there is a good element of space. It is a comfortable place to stay. It,s not too far to walk from the city centre and bus tour stops.

"A gem in the heart of Dublin."

This hotel is several converted Georgian houses. This makes it very unique. You cannot mistake the warmth that the staff show in their welcome approach to the many nationalities that stay there. The location is just off O`Connell Street and within walking distance to many important sites. Hop on/off buses are a stones throw from the front door. The airport a very short journey. The food both at breakfast and the evening restaraunt is exceptionally good. Live music is available most nights with great singers, singing traditional songs. This hotel should be first on your list when looking to stay in Dublin.

"Good middleclass hotel"

+ Nice and clean rooms, good restaurant and cafe, nice bar, good location e.g. fairly close to Temple bar, often helpful service in reception? Difficult to find your way in the hotel - stairs up and down all over the place - from lobby little help of signs to find room

"Excellent customer service and food"

The staff here are very helpful, nothing too much trouble. the food is excellent and beds comfortable and clean. wi fi good. not too far from buses and town. Only problem is the sound proofing of rooms, if you are unlucky enough as we were to have noisy young people in next room its impossible to sleep. despite reception asking them to keep quiet they started up again soon after.

"Comfortable and friendly"

Three middle-aged mates in town for a rugby match and a drink or two. The hotel suited our needs just fine. Near enough to walk into the centre of the city. Good breakfast. Twin rooms available. Comfy beds, good shower. Checkout time not until 1200. I would stay there again.
