Lovely hotel, friendly people, great neighborhood
My only complaint was that our room had a lot of foot traffic nearby that woke us up at night; not the hotel's fault at all.

Great stay outside Dublin
Clontarf Castle made for a lovely first night in Ireland. Only 20-minutes from the airport, it had a heck of a lot more charm and character than an airport hotel! And the food in the bar was good too.
