This was our first visit to this hotel and to be honest it will be our last. The hotel itself is fine as long as you don't have difficulty with steps and stairs as it is spread across 3 town houses with various floor levels. It is not readily accessible for anyone in a wheelchair although there are some ramped areas at the rear of the ground floor. Access to the lift would be difficult for a wheelchair user. The room we had was at best alright it was a bit tucked away at the front of the hotel in a tight little ante room off the main landing. Again up two steps and down three steps due to the many different levels previously mentioned.The room doors are standard front doors with yale type key locks which to be honest looked like they had been forced open at some point. There was no means of locking the door from the inside as the deadlock button had been removed and there was no chain lock in place and nowhere on the outside to hang the DO NOT DISTURB notice. That's no big deal you might think but when the lavatory door is directly opposite the room access and the house keeping let themselves in whilst you are in the bathroom....as happened to us then it IS a big deal The room was clean tidy and reasonable in size but quite narrow the bathroom was COMPACT and really tight definitely not for sharing. Obviously with the townhouse design the rooms are fitted to the available layout and to be fair they are fine just not that spacious. At the reception area the hotel staff whilst polite and professional were a little stand offish and didn't really interact with us a guests. That may suit some folk however I found it quite off putting. Breakfast was included in our package but it was never a relaxed affair as the cramped breakfast room was quite busy and cluttered. The buffet style meant there were a lot of people moving around and privacy was not possible. One thing that really got me was the on site parking at the hotel. It was extremely tight being located up a narrow alleyway and into a 90 degree turn through a gate into a tight courtyard full of cars. Add to that the cost of 15 Euro a day to park there and you can see how it soured a stay somewhat. I do realise that parking is at a premium in Dublin but I have never actually had to pay for a car parking in any other hotel I have ever stayed at.

The Castle Hotel offers comfortable accommodations, a full Irish breakfast at a very competitive rate. The hotel is in a less touristy part of town on the north side near O'Connell, but still near a few interesting attractions like the James Joyce house, Irish Writers Museum, etc. It is still close enough to the main tour bus routes (i.e., green, red, blue) to be within walking distance of one or more of their stops. The room we had was small, but clean and comfortable. As an older hotel, our room did not have A/C which wasn't a problem since it was November, but I could see it being an issue in the summer months. The breakfast in the main floor restaurant was great and gets quite crowded towards 9am so best to get there early.

Arrived on an early morning flight at 10am and our room was ready which was an unexpected surprise as check in wasnt until 230 so were able to unpack , have a coffee and head out .The staff were so friendly .The rooms were clean and comfy beds and pillows too . We had a full cooked breakfast every morning ,delicious . Didn't have dinner in the hotel but we did have late night drinks in the Vaults bar which had live entertainment.A quirky hotel which I loved and would highly recommend

I went to the Castle hotel last July with a friend, I thought it would be nice to return with my husband. The room we were given was on the first floor, there was no view which made the room dark. The bathroom had a walk in shower which after a shower made the floor really wet, this did not dry out until the morning. I thought as a returning customer We would get a better room than this. The food for breakfast was not as good as last year. On our last night there was a large group of British people who spoilt the evening as they did not want to split the bill but wanted individual bills, the manager kept his cool and the party sorted their bills out between them right down to the last cents. How people with money can act like this shows them up. Not all British are like this

The castle hotel was an interesting building that definitely would have been very cool in its day. Our stay was fine, the beds we're comfortable and really that's what matters. However our room was on the top floor and just a bit too crowded with un-needed furniture...we couldn't open the bathroom door the entire way because it hit the bed. It was also a little noisy as the walls into the hallway seemed paper thin. However, not a deal breaker. The staff we encountered in the restaurant was very helpful and very kind so that was very nice, but if you would change up the breakfast regularly that would be nice. The only thing that really annoyed me was that the reception staff were just not very friendly. I literally stood at the desk for a minute before someone even acknowledged me when I said hello. I just feel as though they should have been more polite and friendly.
