from the minute we walked in the door i kwen it was going to a pleasurable stay.check in was quick and friendly,room was gorge and comfortable,bathroom magniff,lunch and coffee in the lobby perfect.the spa treatments totally worth the money(we got 15% off)dinner which was included in our price was lovely although not much of a selection for fussy eaters,but can order off a la carte menu and pay.and my favroite part was brekky it was exceptional,so much to choose from everything u can think of,and that was included in our price as well,my only complaint was the service in the fionn usice bar was very slow i had to wait 15mins to be served and when i got served they told me they had no mint for my mojito,but will defo be stayn there again.

I stayed here for 1 night break in January 2012 returning from a business meeting abroad.
The Good points ~ overall the hotel is quite impressive and the room I stayed in was large , well decorated, and the bed was comfortable . The bathroom with its separate walk in shower is a bonus for people who simply don't like the bother of having to climb out of a wet slippery bath on to a wet floor, just to have a shower.
The foyer and bar areas where spacious, well laid out and the Guinness was excellent. The staff I encountered were polite, helpful and friendly,. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi were superb and the whole fitness area was clean and very well maintained. In fact, the hotel, from top to bottom was spotlessly clean . For the price , this was comfortable 4 star quality at a very keen price
The not so good ~the bar food was ok but a tad pricey. I had a slight a hic- up with the Wi-Fi, just before I left, I tried to log on to the internet, but it would not connect. This could be a serious issue if you are dependent on it , however, I couldn’t wait around for it to be repaired. The only other down side is that the hotel is, quite literally, in the middle of nowhere. It would be hard to find your way to and from it without a satnav , even though I am fairly familiar with Dublin, having lived there for many years.
That said. I was well impressed with this hotel and as a regular traveller through Dublin airport I will be back again for sure. Well done all at the Castleknock Hotel & Country Club

I stayed here on a saturday night. The hotel looks great. The lobby/bar area are very impressive. The room was above average. It had a bath and separate walk in shower. The room had a double bed and a cheap thin hard, uneven pull out sofa bed. We didnt use it, but for those that do, i can only imagine they'd wake with a bendy spine..... it looked cheap and bad.

Breakfast was included in the price and was goood. usual full irish buffet breakfast. I had dinner at the bar. THe chips were hard and undercooked. Other than that, it was grand. We ate our main course, but when it was done and we requested the dessert menu, we were told the kitchen was closed (??) Firstly, how hard is it to cut a slice of cheesecake, and why were we not informed during our main?? Other than this, the service was very friendly....

THere was live music and piano playing.She was not to my taste but she seemed popular. THe bar was busy for the location, I felt.

Location is in the middle of nowhere. It is just outside castleknock (Suburbia). Its a spa/golf hotel, which I didnt parttake in.....
its set on nice grounds, but is a trek to get into the local Town (or next to impossible to get into Dublin City centre).

It would make a nice weekend retreat if you were interested in Golf or just sitting around. THe food had potential, but we were let down by the staff on this occassion.

It was a nice stay but they could sort out their sofa beds and sort out their Kitchen staff....

Stayed here for a 1 night break in January. The hotel is fabulous, staff very friendly and food excellent. We had a 1 night package (Bed, Breakfast & Evening Meal for 160 euro). We were very impressed with the hotel in general, beautiful decor, rooms spotless clean and fabulous spa and leisure facilities. Really enjoyed the dinner, although felt that the inclusive dinner was very limited and could of had a bit more varieity. We also had the choice of ordering from ala carte menu, but the allowance was only 20 euro per person and with some of the main courses alone being 25 euro, it would of worked out very expensive. (I think the allowance should be 30 euro each on the 160 euro package). Neverthless, the food was delicious. Thought the house wine was a bit pricey at 24 euro, as it was nothing special. Was especially impressed with the Irish Cheese Board for dessert.The Breakfast menu was great and everything to choose from cereal, fruit, breads, yogurts, juices and the full Irish Breakfast. Although, i felt that some of the items in the hot plates had been left lying and were a bit dried up, and also the selection of cheeses and cold meats had seen better days!. Nonethless, really enjoyed the Castleknock Hotel and would have no hesitation in recommendng it to friends. Will definitely, be back.
