What guests think

Reviews of Castleknock Hotel praise friendly, attentive staff, comfortable rooms, and a peaceful suburban setting that suits drivers more than city sightseers, while noting occasional issues with room heat, noise, and uneven dining.

Most guests find the property clean and well kept, though a few mention cracked bathroom fixtures, stained bedding, or untidy spa changing areas. Leisure areas, pool, and spa are popular and family friendly, sometimes busy or with minor outages, and on site EV charging is limited and slow. Overall, expect a comfortable, amenity rich stay in a quiet setting outside central Dublin.

Stay was reasonably pleasant . Downsides were no air con in rooms and the EV charger didn’t work . The fact there’s only 2 in this day and age and the fact they’re “slow chargers” is a farce also .

Lovely hotel, very well presented and maintained. Great facilities and really good bar & restaurants. Steam room was out of service but otherwise leisure centre was excellent. I’ll definitely be back.

Really enjoyable stay as always. Facilities excellent , room very comfortable and food was decent in the bar in the evening. Only improvement I can suggest is to get more EV chargers and make sure they’re fast chargers . For a hotel this size to have just 2 “slow chargers” isn’t good enough. This would be a deciding factor for me and many of my colleagues as a recharge is crucial when staying at a hotel

We booked the hotel as it was close to surrounding amenities, Shopping, parks, bars. However, we did book a Queen & Double room, it was our honeymoon and we ended up staying in separate beds as the beds were smaller than what we booked but I was told it was the last room. The room view was of the hotel's recycling centre which was very noisy and disappointing, I woke up on the Saturday night at 4am to staff emptying glass into containers and then again at 6am to staff having chats outside the window. This happened a few times and was very disappointing, we kept the curtains closed for the entirety of our stay. The only thing I will say is that the staff at Breakfast, Dinner and Bar were very helpful and attentive. Swimming pool changing room was unhygienic and needs a clean and update, especially if hotel guests are expected to use the facilities. For a four star hotel and the price we paid I was a little disappointed, we'd had a long week after our wedding and I didn't feel like raising the issue at the checkout desk at the time, but now wish I did.

I was shocked to have a badly stained comforter at a hotel of this caliber. Also, our room looked out onto their recycling area which meant for early morning (i.e. 5:00 am) wake ups as work got underway and obviously not a nice view given the price point. It took ages to get a taxi when we were leaving for the airport and in general just felt out of the way. Better suited for weddings than tourists. The staff were lovely though. Some new to the job but all working hard & very professional and thoughtful.

This was a very nice hotel, while I expected good quality, it was a level up from what I expected at this price point. I did not utilize amenities such as the spa or golf course, but the complimentary breakfast is amazing; any other hotel I've been at offering something comparable has charged extra. My only complaints, the room was a little small. We had a standard room, not a suite, so I did not expect a huge room, but the size was still a little smaller than average. And there was very little counter/shelf space in the bathroom, not nearly enough room for three people to layout all of their items.

Hotel was lovely , staff really nice but unfortunately the room we were given ruined the trio. No air conditioning in the room, really uncomfortable during a hot spell of weather. The room was also directly above the hotels bin depot so we had to close windows due to the noise of bins being emptied and the smell. We did complain and asked to be moved but they told us it wasn’t possible.

Beautiful property/grounds. We spent a bit extra for a room with air conditioning and was worth it. Many extras in the room like amenity kits, Dyson hair dryer, nespresso machine, safe, mini fridge, large tv. Bed comfortable. Many dining options. The most outstanding in this hotel is the service, the staff are very friendly, and so helpful. Wonderful stay all around.

Great location which was slightly outside the city, so it’s a bit more peaceful. It is easy to get into town with a taxi or train. The hotel is busy with weddings and other events. The atmosphere is great. The food selection was good. The rooms are a bit cluttered and dated. The pictures of the pool and spa give the impression of a relaxing oasis, which isn’t really the case. The pool is primarily used by families and their kids. I was fine with it but it isn’t a place to unwind and relax. 😃 I would definitely go back.

Fabulous trip. I am a wheelchair user and felt that staff gave me an excellent experience on this trip. We have stayed in the Castleknock Hotel on numerous occasions prior to my becoming disabled and wasn't treated any differently than previously. Staff were all very helpful and indeed gave us the option of an accessible room instead of the standard room we had booked. Staff in the leisure complex were also extremely helpful and gave us access to an accessible changing room very close to the swimming pool and other facilities. I would have no hesitation in returning to the hotel or in recommending it to others.

This hotel was beautiful, large with all the amenities. We stayed for an event and it was perfect. This location is not close or easy to get to from the city centre so if you plan to sight see most days it is a 30 minute drive from downtown Dublin. If you are looking to relax, spa or play a round of golf; this hotel is perfect.

Nice hotel - clean rooms but pretty average with a less than comfy bed. Staff were polite but I wouldn’t go as far as to say friendly…..Breakfast was a pretty standard buffet but was nice! Castleknock is a Lovely, quiet and secluded area and is about a 15 min walk to the train which was a great way to get into the city - otherwise, taxis are the only option to get out of the neighbourhood, at about 30€ per ride!

Be careful of the room service, the notes stated 24 hr room service but when calling late received statement kitchen is closed. The hotel was nice, breakfast was just ok, states buffett but the hot food is served for you like being in a cafeteria. Temperature of food was mediocre at best. Employees were very polite. What was pretty interesting is thebneed to put your room key into a sensor inside the room so that the room lights stay on instead of turning off after 5 minutes. Love this idea as it saves electricity, more hotels should utilize this.
