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!
