"Perfectly placed hotel for the National Park and waterfall. Good size car park and rooms. Restaurants also very convenient, although other better restaurants not too far away."

Check in was smooth and efficient. Carla at reception was superb and really understands what customer service represents. Well done. Bar food was beautiful and staff very customer focused. Breakfast was terrific with lots on offer and day staff very attentive and friendly. We ordered room service and this was efficient. Albeit I live in Dublin and have stayed in numerous top class hotels, Clontarf Castle is a gem and exceeded all my expectations. I would highly recommend this hotel based on...

The Fitzpatrick does not disappoint, a grand old hotel set in private grounds in a leafy suburb of Dublin. If you like old world charm you will certainly like it here. Lots of renovations going on so it will only get better over the coming months.

We had a very warm welcome at the hotel. The staff were delightful and nothing was too much trouble. We were particularly impressed by the welcome given to children and the range of activities for them.
I would advise guests to take notice of the hotel’s suggestion to avoid the busier times for breakfast as we did experience one morning in the “rush hour” and it was hectic

Enjoyed our stay very much. Bus stop was right outside the hotel, but often walked into Dun Laoghaire to get the dart into Dublin, which took about forty minutes. Walked into the pleasant village of Dalkey. Visited Malahide and Howth.
We had evening meal in the hotel four out of the five nights we stayed, and enjoyed everyone.

We checked in and discovered our room didn’t have a bath, we were swapped to a room with one immediately, not a problem to the staff. The room was clean, spacious and the bathroom was also spotless. Bath and shower were separate, water pressure was fab and hot water always available no matter what time of day you were using it. Mini fridge, kettle, coffee machine with pods, hair dryer, iron and ironing board all provided.
Breakfast selection was plentiful and hot food was replenished regularly....

Our studio at Neckett Locke was equipped with everything we needed. TV, washing machine, dishwasher. hob etc. The tram is directly outside as is the bus stop so perfect for transportation into the city centre. It has a lovely coffe shop and the staff are excellent. Would definitely stay again if returning to Dublin.

Stayed before and eager to return. Rooms are not the largest but quirky and comfortable. Location is great and the restaurant and bar at the hotel are fab. Previous stay we got street view only downside this time is we got a view of the plant (vents etc) but was ok
