It's charming full of character - great location and lovely staff. It was a bit difficult to get to room, up and down stairs and around corners- like a rabbit's warren- but overall very wonderful place to stay. Great location m, history and good value.

The Club House is just darling. The room was impeccably renovated and smelled fantastic. The stairs can be a little daunting, but the room was lovely, the AC worked great, and the water pressure and hot water was fantastic. The front desk and restaurant staff were all so friendly! Loved the dinner I had upon arrival and the traditional Irish breakfast was very tasty. Last, the location is really close to the castle and other sites, the downtown shops and pubs, and the bus stop from Dublin. I couldn’t be more pleased with my stay and would highly recommend!

We had a great stay at the club house hotel! At first glance we were worried about the parking, but upon check in they directed us to the easy and safe parking lot behind the hotel! It was an easy walk up to our room, we were in the brand new part of the hotel. The room was beautiful and fresh, and had a great new AC system we appreciated since we visited during a March heatwave. The breakfast was fantastic, our first time trying traditional Irish breakfast. The staff was so helpful and accommodating, they directed us to this wonderful pub down the street Kyteler’s Inn where we had our favorite meal of our trip. We would love to visit again soon!
