Castle Vaults in Dublin

The main asset of this hotel is its location. Otherwise, the best word to describe it is dated. We booked several months in advance for two stays: upon arrival in Ireland and upon departure. In both cases, the amenities were not at all up to 4-star standards. The first time, the bathroom was dated (two faucets at the sink and no mixer), the shower was impossible to attach, so you had to hold it with one hand, and the towel had a hole in it. The second time, the room was small, under the eaves, and the bathroom was tiny. Positive: the staff was very friendly. Disliked: For the first stay, there were two faucets at the sink (we lost the habit of using that kind of equipment a long time ago!). The shower head was too big for its bracket. Anyway, the bracket was attached above its sliding bar???! For the second, the small attic room was very hot, the doorless wardrobe had no shelves (so the clothes stayed in the suitcase). A window was held up with a piece of wood. As for the miniature bathroom, to put your things: half was available on the only shelf in place. The shower drain was broken.

This hotel offers an excellent location, within easy walking distance of everything. It's a cozy, old house with interesting decor that exudes a romantic Irish charm. Although the hotel is a bit noisy, my room was very quiet. Thick carpets help to dampen the sound, although there are some creaking spots. The bed was great, and I slept wonderfully. I especially recommend the Irish breakfast. The continental breakfast in the other room, on the other hand, was less impressive.

Very plush, great hotel. Service is always friendly.

Lovely old charming hotel with everything you need.

Good location and very good breakfast and dinner

The Castle Hotel is kind of what it would be like to sleep at a museum. It’s an old charming building, with floors that make you feel like you walk in a sailboat at sea. The people working there help you with what you need, and seem very friendly. The Hotel lies by an old church, and around 10 minutes walk from the temple bar district. All in all a good stay. However the bathroom seems pretty new and fresh, it’s very slow pressure in the shower at 3rd floor. 😅 But again, thank you for the stay.

I have nearly finished my week here. Great location near the top of O'Connell Street. Comfortable room, particularly the bed. Good desk. Decent shower (though it takes a couple of minutes to get to temperature). Great WiFi. Good full Irish breakfast. Live music in the vault restaurant every evening. Lovely staff.

A tastefully furnished, clean hotel with modern bathrooms and very friendly staff. A bar/restaurant in the basement served excellent food at reasonable prices; we even had live music.

Excellent choice, great restaurant.

Very good location near bus and tram stops, about 800 m from the heart of the city, easy to get around on foot. Old-fashioned hotel full of charm. Comfortable rooms but poorly soundproofed. Very good breakfasts (buffet, continental or full Irish breakfast). Saturday evening, demonstration of Irish singing and dancing in one of the hotel's two restaurants but very laborious service.
