Stayed here one night for a wedding reception, and everything was fine. The room was clean and comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. The food and service at the reception was very good and overall we found the hotel staff friendly and helpful.
The Clontarf Castle is good for functions like wedding receptions, but wouldn't be much use to tourists to Dublin - it's miles away from attractions so expensive taxi rides/bus trips would be required to get anywhere if you don't have a car (and I would not recommend driving in Dublin either, if you're a tourist).

Dear Guest,
Many thanks for the lovely review. I am so glad you had a nice stay with us. I was so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your room, the food and the service. As you mention we are located outside the city centre, about 10 minutes drive away. Also, the hotel is serviced by the 130 bus which leaves from just outside the hotel and takes about 15 minutes to get to the city centre. I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and I hope we get a chance to welcome you back again soon.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Long
