From England and with family living in Castleknock we have stayed at this hotel a number of times.
Rooms, service, staff and food all of a high standard. Staff well trained and pleasant. Parking convenient. A reduction given for returning customers and stays over 3 nights. Book directly with reservations dept!

Best hotel I’ve stayed in, that caters to families. My experience of any hotel that offers deals to families is that it’s a ‘greasy spoon’, this is the complete opposite. This hotel managed to marry luxury, style, decadence with ‘it’s ok to bring your kids’. Hotel was absolutely beautiful and has adult only areas like the lime tree bar. It has designated kids times for the swimming pool and a completely separate spa to ensure total peace and quiet.
Staff were extremely helpful, hotel was spotlessly clean. Little welcome packs complete with cuddly toys and sweets were left for each of our 3 kids- an excellent extra!
Hotel is so handy for travel to Dublin centre, Dublin zoo, emerald park.
We will definitely return, - without the kids!

The Castleknock Hotel is billed as a 4 star quality establishment of long standing and my wife and I stayed there this week. First impressions are good, a fine hotel just about 20 minutes outside Dublin and has lovely views of the golf course from most rooms. We chose the dinner, B&B package at 293 euros as we had a voucher from our children for the stay. Our room was spotless and comfy, and we had booked for dinner at 7 p.m. The 3 course dinner menu was limited to fish and chips, penne pasta, burger and chicken dishes but no steak visible here. Stareters of Caesar salad, followed by Burger and fish was average at best, but I noticed they had midweek dinner for two with a bottle of wine for 85 euros. After our experience, we would not be availing of the offer. This is a lovely hotel, but charging high restaurant prices for what I would call bar food, is not good value. I would like to mention the staff here, most of whom are not irish. They work very hard and are mannerly and friendly. They go to great lengths to look after the guests and are very impressive. These workers are lovely people and deserve great credit for making us feel welcome. Our stay was enjoyable but dinner was dissapointing.
