The Library Bar in Dublin

Stayed for 2 nights - wonderful setting and great facilities at the hotel. It is old and dated but somewhat charming in that way. Staff were all excellent and the breakfast was good nothing special but decent. Room facilities were somewhat basic and rooms definitely need some renovation. Our room was not serviced during the day and we arrived back late with no fresh towels or water which is quite unacceptable. Also cut the trees slightly it ruins the view!

The room, with a balcony and a view, was clean and well-equipped. However, the furnishings were quite worn and in need of renovation. While it's an old, quaint building with many antique furnishings, the rooms could be a bit better. Dinner in the hotel's restaurant was good, and breakfast was extensive and also good.

Really enjoyed our stay here at the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel. The rooms were absolutely beautiful, staff were friendly and very helpful and the location was lovely - not far from amenities and lots of scenic views. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area. We will 100% go back!

You know the saying "you get what you pay for?" that sums up our experiences here. I felt conflicted about what rating to leave. On the one hand, this place was exactly what I expected it to be. We wanted a reasonably priced place to stay outside of Dublin with parking, where we could have breakfast and a place to sleep. The Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel delivered on that, which is all we really needed. However, it feels disingenuous to leave a 5-star rating. The hotel is admittedly quite dated, the breakfast was fine, and the amenities like the fitness center and pool are clearly there to serve the community and not the guests. For example, pool hours are restricted based on swim lessons, and most adult times are a gaggle of people looking to swim laps (also, the whirlpool was down.) We were extremely grateful that the very nice porter was able to bring us a fan because the room was stiflingly hot, and I didn't feel like paying an extra 40 euros a night for a room with a better breeze. Everyone we interacted with was helpful and pleasant, and it was extremely easy to get into Dublin (drive or walk to the station and take the DART.) While it is a bit of a climb back uphill, the town center and train station were in a very reasonable walking distance. We were bummed the dungeon bar wasn't open, but enjoyed the library bar. We were not dissatisfied by our stay by any means and, as long as you manage your expectations, you won't be either.

I had a wonderful time at the Fitzpatrick. Big spacious rooms with a great bed and pillows. The shower was wonderful and had towels galore. The staff is super attentive and pleasant. Yes, the place is a little dated but In a nice way. I found the Fitzpatrick to have a great relaxing vibe. The hotel is outside of Dublin. If you have a car, no problem. There is public transportation into town. I would stay here again.

Very nice hotel, great service. Highly recommended.

Perfect in every way with a magnificent sea view

The Fitzpatrick castle was amazing. It’s not too far from Dublin so the location is great. The staff was exceptional and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant and were always available when we needed anything. The Dungeon Bar has really good food and drinks so check them out if you have the chance. We are looking forward to staying here again on our next trip to Ireland.

We stayed twice in this beautiful hotel. The ambiance and setting of the hotel is really great. The hotel rooms were excellent. The breakfast and dinner was very tastefull. We enjoyed our stay in the lovely village Dalkey.

Magnificent hotel with attentive staff day and night. I recommend
