About this property

This elegant Georgian hotel in Dublin city centre is just 2 minutes' walk from O' Connell Street and very close to Temple Bar, it offers rooms with en suite bathrooms, a restaurant/bar with evening entertainment, and free Wi-Fi. The recently renovated Castle Hotel is steeped in sophisticated Georgian style, featuring original, sweeping staircases, crystal chandeliers, antique mirrors and marble fireplaces. Rooms at The Castle Hotel are individually designed to reflect the elegance of the building and have hairdryers, direct dial telephones, tea/coffee making facilities and TVs. The Castle Vaults bar/restaurant has an exposed vaulted ceiling which was part of the original 18th-century wine cellars. It offers modern cuisine, a pre-theatre menu and an evening à la carte menu, along with live traditional Irish music around weekends. The Old Music Shop restaurant is situated in a Georgian Room overlooking Findlater's 19th-century Gothic Revival Church. It offers an all-day menu of pizza, pasta, salads and gourmet sandwiches. A pre-theatre and evening menu is also available. The hotel has its own secure private car park. The Aircoach Dublin Airport Bus stops just 3 minute's walk away.

Downstairs bar is excellent and affordable (you’ll struggle to find too many cheaper pints of Guinness on tap in Dublin). Can’t think of a better hotel bar I’ve visited in my travels. Live music was great. Fireplaces a comforting touch in the winter.

We liked EVERYTHING about the Hotel Great location, friendly staff, great options for breakfast. The only minor issue was that the room was smaller than I thought it would be.

Close to Parnell Square for an event. I loved that I had no noisy air conditioning or humming popping fridge. Simply a comfortable room and good sleep. The continental breakfast was superb.
