"Great hotel"

"Always a pleasure staying at this hotel"

"Everything about this hotel is excellent. Staff were very friendly, room was very comfortable and clean. Food was good. "

"Incredibly beautiful castle, grounds and room. Highly advise a castle bedroom if you can! Very clean, comfortable and huge. Biggest drawback was limited dining options during the week-same menu for lunch and dinner that gets boring pretty fast. Breakfast was tasty and lots of options all included. Close to Dublin- we didn’t have a car but 45 minutes by train and then 10 minute taxi made it easy (except book taxi ahead as Athy is pretty small). Worthwhile for the luxury to stay in a castle!"

"A mixed bag. Nice enough, but swimming pool and gym were very tired, and in need of a major upgrade to match the photos. Restaurant food was excellent, but staff were disorganised, but friendly."

"Wonderful hotel. Great value."

"Was ok Bathroom plenty hairs here and there Very noisy from 6.30am if your room backed onto the delivery part Expensive average restaurant But nice staff "

"Stayed at the Lodges because the castle was unavailable. The lodge was very outdated. Definitely not a 4 star experience. We had a beautiful view of a field of dandelions. We were treated like second class citizens throughout our brief stay. Went to the castle to check in and was told check in was at the golf pro shop. Huh? Went to the pro shop five minutes before the 4pm check time and was casually told room wasn’t ready and to come back in 30 minutes. Was promised breakfast to-go at 7:30 since our flight out of Dublin airport was early and dining service did not start until 8am. Of course, no breakfast to-go was ready when we departed at 7:45. All of other stays in Ireland were outstanding. Take my advice, stay clear of the Lodges at Kilkea Castle. "
