DK Eyewitness "It has a central location beside government buildings... requented by political figures."
Time Out "The rooms are distributed across three Georgian buildings and exude charm, from their hefty Georgian windows to the views of the broad streets below." Full review
Star Service "This small, traditional four-story hotel—a series of five bricked Georgian town houses—holds plenty of old-fashioned historic charm, at least in the public areas." Full review

Room 100 is worth requesting for its spaciousness, but its hearth is merely ornamental.
Frommer's "This traditional hotel has a wonderful sense of class that saves it from feeling stuffy." Full review

"Buswells Hotel has a homey vibe... the hotel is located in the city center near many tourist attractions, but it's still quiet." Full review

"Not so much grand as comfortable and quaint, with a matchless situation in the very heart of the city. The Aircoach stops across the road." Full review

Michelin Guide "Modern rooms and characterful luxury suites with cutting edge facilities. Grand restaurant reminiscent of a knights' banqueting hall."
Frommer's "If you want to be within striking distance of Dublin airport (8km/5 miles away), this hotel in Clontarf is a good option about 10 minutes' drive away." Full review
Time Out "Looking every inch the swanky modern hotel (except, of course, for the elements of the 12th-century structure that have been artfully integrated into the design)." Full review

"Romantic and baronial meets modern at the four-star Clontarf Castle." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "For a trip to Dublin, Clontarf Castle Hotel has it all. Close to the city center—the coastal suburb is a 10-minute drive away—check. On site dining worth imbibing—a Michelin-starred chef,..." Full review
