"The rooms are relatively large for Europe. We booked a quadruple room and a double room. At least there was enough space to open three large suitcases."
"I decided to ditch staying in the city centre based on my below par experiences there on my last trip. When looking on Trip.com, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dalkey was the same price as several dorm rooms in the city centre when I looked.
Getting there from Dublin Airport was relatively straightforward. I took and Aircoach from the airport to Dalkey/Ulverton Road and then walked for about 15 minutes. Up to the hotel entrance.
The hotel is fairly old fashioned but personally I found it very charming. The staff were well-trained in the art of hospitality, the rooms were clean, locals were in and out of the bar, restaurant and leisure centre.
Furthermore, the room was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities. The tv had a nice range of channels and the bathroom had a working shower and an abundance of towels. One thing missing was a toothbrush, toothpaste and shaving kit. I was told that you can get slippers on request as well.
Get the breakfast. It’s €16 and it’s a buffet style with a delicious selection of hot and cold food. There’s rashers, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, the works. I wish I could’ve eaten more! I loved that they had a wide range of ages working there as well. One of the staff tripped when she went to ask if everything was ok and she said ‘I’m fine, I’m falling for you!’ It was then that I knew that I was home.
The leisure centre is one of the best I’ve come across in a while. I’ve stayed in so many places where it’s literally an empty room with a few bits of old equipment but they had loads of weights, treadmills, bikes, etc. They do classes and physiotherapy as well. The pool and jacuzzi were also excellent. Plenty of ages in both as well but it wasnt overcrowded so you’ll get a few lengths in if you want.
Lastly, make sure to go for a walk about Dalkey and the surrounding areas. I spent the morning walking down to the Vico Baths, the Forty Foot (both swimming locations) and passed through Dalkey Village. Plenty of people will be out with their family and friends whether it be for a walk, bike ride, swim or a coffee and a chat. Ditch Dublin City and say yes to Dalkey!"

"I was a little worried when I saw the low rating at first, but I booked it because it was close to the school. Unexpectedly, I felt great after checking in. The furniture in the hotel room felt very high-end, the workmanship was good, and the view from the window was also very good. There is the sea in the distance, the surrounding area is very quiet, and it is convenient to travel. The bus station is 2-3 minutes away from the door."
"I went there in December, the Christmas decoration of the hotel is very beautiful, I like anywhere of the hotel, the staff attitude is very good, but I can not find slippers in the room, and the heater broke down after one night."
"There is a direct bus to the airport, and the hotel facilities and services are also very good. It is very close to the green line and it is convenient to travel. The fly in the ointment is that there are a few places to eat in Zhouquan. Let's make up for it with the green line"
"The apartment is the same as the Ctrip picture. The store has opened a sofa bed according to the application requirements, which is practical. The next day was the weekend, and the store was not open when we left in the morning. According to the instructions in the store's room, we put the key in the box at the door of the office and left."
"I liked the room and the staff were generally friendly.
But the television in the room did not work, the bathtub was clogged and whenever we took a shower we were left with water up to a little above the ankle.
After taking a shower, the bathtub was all dirty with the dirt that had gone up with the water through the drain because it was clogged.
And finally, an employee did not want to heat the soup for my 1 year old son who does not eat all the food."
"This hotel is the best hotel in Dublin. It is said that the Prime Minister also stayed in this hotel when he visited Ireland. The environment of the hotel is very good, and the lobby is decorated in a grand manner. The bedding in the room is very comfortable, and the bathroom is not big but very convenient, comfortable and clean. The lighting is not very glaring, and the hair dryer is not in the bathroom. There is a mirror in front of the desk in the room, so you can sit in front of the desk and blow your hair in front of the mirror, which is quite user-friendly. It is surrounded by the embassy district of Dublin, which is safe and quiet. It is a hotel worth staying in."
