What guests think

At Castle Arch Hotel, travellers praise the friendly, accommodating staff and the walkable location near Trim Castle, while also noting older, sometimes dated rooms and occasional late-night noise from on-site events that can carry into bedrooms.

Many reviews highlight clean, comfortable stays, though some report worn carpets, dust, or maintenance lapses. Breakfast, carvery and bar meals are widely enjoyed, but a few guests found the breakfast offering basic or service disorganized. On-site parking adds convenience, and travellers can expect a friendly, well-located stay with character, older interiors, and potential noise during events.

Easy to find, and convient to get to the airport for a morning flight. Nice standard hotel with a parking area in the front courtyard. The hotel has a great dinning room, bar and breakfast area. The breakfast was included in our room rate and was very nice. There was a buffet of juice, toast, and cereal items, and then additionally we ordered off a menu too. It was very convient to have a quick breakfast before our drive to the airport. Also we walked around the town and saw the castle lit up at night. Several good looking restaurants and bars are in walking distance. We tried the two take away pizza shops, which were OK.

Nice hotel at the edge of town. Very affordable and comes with a free generous breakfast, lots of free parking, and free wifi. The condition of our room and the building was a bit subpar in places, but still a bargain. Staff was very friendly, and Trim is a nice alternative to staying in Dublin before going to the airport after already seeing Dublin.

Just a really good hotel, everything done right. Good bed, good shower & good breakfast (also had dinner there & it ticked all the boxes). Staff efficient & polite, parking included & good location. Highly recommended. Rooms a little dated but all serviceable & clean with good coffee machine & tea making facilities.

Very convenient, feels historic. Comfortable and accommodating. Everything was very clean and functional, a little worn in places. But I thought it added to the charm. Would highly recommend and would stay there again. Can’t say enough about the town! I want to live there permanently!

No air conditioning and it was unseasonably hot for May. Could only open our window a little and it opened near a kitchen vent, so not very helpful. Otherwise, a lovely stay. Great restaurant and short walk to the castle and to downtown.

Overall, our stay was disappointing. The hotel is very basic and quite dated in its aesthetic. The double room comprises a regular double bed - not king size which is common in many hotels. Overall it was clean but very jaded and run down. There was nothing added for a little bit of comfort - no drinking water or toiletries etc. All the furniture, bedding, decor etc was old and a bit shabby. The breakfast is one of the most basic I've experienced. They offer a very small buffet of fruit salad, cereal, toast and juice. There are no yogurts, cheese, pastries etc that one might expect. They also offer cooked breakfasts to order but the choices are limited and don't include things like pancakes, french toast etc. I think for the price, this hotel does not offer good value for money.

I stayed at this hotel for 1 night and will never come back here again. 1. I was given a room outside the window of which there was air conditioning from the restaurant on the ground floor, and it worked until 12 at night and then turned it on at 6 in the morning. It was very noisy in the room. 2 We had a wooden partition between the neighbor's room and you could hear what they were talking about in the next room. 3 Hot water in the shower ran out every 10 minutes. 4 The parking lot is small, you had to wait until the place is free. I advise you to bypass this hotel, it's better to pay more and relax normally.Avoid room 101 .Rubish
