The hotel serves delicious breakfast (for 20 euros per room). It... more

I'm currently sitting at the Burlington Hotel, sister property of the beautiful Clontarf Castle Hotel because when I tried to check in today they told me that my booking site had messed up my reservation and because they had needed to book a Christmas party instead, they'd been trying for days to reach me (funny, no email or voicemail from... more

Over-priced. Not very friendly. Extremely disappointed in our room. Very small and beared no resemblance to a 'castle' room. The main hotel is all about the 'castle' but the rooms are just like any other hotel room except smaller and with fewer amenities. Breakfast was poor and our evening meal was a disaster. Change the chefs and maybe it would... more
