    Room was very big as was an older converted property (although retro installed shower / WC room was quite small but was adequate). Breakfast, location and staff were excellent.

    Very quirky hotel comprised of 4 Georgian building joined together. Spacious bedroom and bathroom. Good quality toiletries. Continental and cooked breakfast included. Bar and live music in the evenings. Areas to relax other than the room....

    The breakfasts were excellent. The location was also very good with a short walk to O'Connell St. The shower rooms could have been cleaner. The room was a bit overcrowded.

    I really enjoyed my stay at the Castle Hotel. It was clean, comfortable & very close to the City Centre. I found it very interesting that the Hotel had such a rich Historic past. The food was delicious & catered for every taste.

    The people on the reception desk were very helpful and friendly. The building is fascinating with much history and many layers, including the "vaults" downstairs. And the location is central and convenient.

    Great location for the city centre. We stayed in a family room which was perfect for a family of five - 3 singles and a double. The room was big and the beds were comfortable. It's great value for a larger family. We had dinner in the hotel...

    Don't stay here if you're not impressed by older buildings. This is a gem.
