Castle "themed" hotel

Nice big chunk of castle has had a more regular hotel built around it, with a castle theme. Some castle rooms used for the bar and breakfast dining rooms, which are great. But not the guest rooms. We didn't *feel* like we were staying in an actual castle, which was a bit disappointing. Also had a rude experience at Wednesday's breakfast with the short shaven head concierge man pushing our bill at us at our table while we were still eating, and then coming to collect payment while we were still drinking our coffee. The other mornings had a different concierge at breakfast, a quite tall gentleman who was nothing but polite, friendly and professional regardless of how busy it got, and was happy to issue the bill and collect payment on our request when we were completely finished.

We enjoyed our stay here. The castle is quaint with nice period touches. Staff were more businesslike than friendly but that did not affect our stay. Our room was mostly clean but the bathroom could have been cleaner. There were a few long black hairs on the floor & they had not emptied the trashcan under the sink.

We stayed here for the first two nights of our trip to Dublin and Ireland. The hotel is beautifully built into and around the Clontarf Castle. The entry into the facility is majestic and well done. It’s the perfect blend of the old with the modern. The staff was incredible warm and helpful. It was the first time that the housekeeping staff engaged with us about our plans and how they would take care of room for us while we were out sightseeing. I found this exchange to be amazing and so welcoming. Finally, it was quite the experience to stay in a castle and enjoy all of the amenities, hospitality, of the facility. We felt like we were being treated like nobility in a castle. It was a remarkable experience for us and we loved it. We definitely recommend it!
