Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel Reviews

Very pleasant and helpful staff, breakfast ,which we had in our room was excellent and the late check out topped of a fab night.

Me and my Husband stayed here for our Honeymoon. It was so nice! We got a third story room with a balcony and a beautiful view of the bay and Dalkey. The staff were so very helpful and friendly with all of our questions. We arrived earlier than expected, and they were so accommodating to get our room ready earlier than they even needed too. Which we totally appreciated since we were so jet lagged! We had even purchased the wrong converter for the outlets (oops) and they let us borrow one of theirs!

The hotel has a vintage feel to it, I love how everything is very ornate and the bar is such a great place to lounge and it seems that each room is different and unique. There was no air conditioning in the room, but all you need to do is open a window and you'll feel fine.

The breakfast is very delicious and they have a ton of options from hot breakfast and even cereal. We did get breakfast delivered to our room one morning and it was really fun!

I really enjoyed our stay and have no complaints, thank you to the wonderful Fitzpatrick staff for helping make our honeymoon spectacular!

Really enjoyed our night away, the staff were very attentive without being overly in your face. Our meal was very nice and we enjoyed a few cocktails in the Library Bar after. Would recommend it for a night or two away, ideal for both couple's and families

Great hotel to the south of Dublin. The breakfast isn't free.

Very nice hotel with 2 bars, lots of amenities and walking distance to some of the most amazing views. Only gave 4 stars because the wifi connection was horrible and rarely worked.

Great staff, beautiful town of Dalkney. The staff was extremely kind and helpful with all of our traveling needs

We had an overnight stay here. The staff were very welcoming and friendly to my children, many thanks for looking after us so well.

Very worn out throughout the historic hotel. In need of a major refurb

Hidden jewel. Not too castley, but gorgeous. Great location.

The room was a nice size and very clean. The staff were kind and helpful. The restaurant had really great food too! The location is a bit outside of Dublin, but it was about a 15 minute walk to the nearest DART along with local shopping and pubs (go to Finnegan's!). Would stay here again and highly recommend.

Nice but in desperate need of modernisation. There was water dripping on our heads coming from the air vents in the restaurant area. Cocktail menu is awful. The seats look like something out of Oxfam. BUT... the food was nice.

All round very efficient and helpful staff. Great place to stay for a Dublin visit.

Fitzpatricks offers warm Irish hospitality which gives it the feel of a country hotel yet it sits in a beautiful spot in South Dublin. Great for afternoon tea in their warm and friendly lounge, the dungeon bar is also worth a visit for a quiet drink with some very good live music.

Great views. Nice rooms. Good food. Full Irish menu.

Honestly, I could give 5 stars but I ordered a bottle of wine as a surprise and when I joined the hotel, the bottle wasn't into the bedroom, then I called to the reception and they brought it but it was warm, and then I had to ring again and ask for ice.

Classy style
With good food and genuine staff
Good views

When we arrived the pool was closed for some reason. We had chosen this hotel specifically for pool facility. The hotel offered us a comp breakfast, which was already included in our rate. Bath tub had clumps of hair in it. Hotel itself, was a disappointing, felt like a tourist trap, but area and restaurants were great. Would not go back.

I cannot give this hotel a high rating. Just stayed here 3 days ago and the hotel is just as others have described. The lobby looks great and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful, giving us directions to the train to Dublin city centre and suggesting place to visit. The Dungeon bar staff were also helpful and eager to serve us.

The rooms are where this hotel falls short. The elevator creaks and groans on your way up to the room and the carpets and hallways are in need of some cleaning and TLC. The wall paper in our room was peeling at every seem, the beds were hard, there were cracks in the ceiling, stains in the carpet, rusty fixtures in the bathroom, mould on the sloppy caulking job around the tub, etc. We chatted with some other guests at the hotel bar and they reported the same state of disrepair in their room as well. The worst part was waking up the next day to bite marks all over my body. That's right...bed bugs! They got me everywhere, which means there must be a few of them. Definitely not what you want on the long flight home the next day.

I won't be staying here again.

Situated in Dalkey very convenient for touring Dublin and east coast of Ireland excellent hotel for service and fabulous views over Dublin bay

We had an overnight stay here. The staff were very welcoming and friendly to my children, many thanks for looking after us so well.

Our stay at Fitzpatrick Castle was as enjoyable as ever. This was our third visit and won't be the last.

Lovely staff and pleasant comfortable stay. Fantastic area to stay in . The hotel rooms and pool area could do with an upgrade as are quite tired and dated.

The staff was very friendly. Rooms were amazing good view, comfy bed, nice bathroom. Had food at many hours of the day for convince and the dungeon bar was awesome, great staff there.

Beautiful property and great rooms! Amazingly affordable to boot. Definitely recommend and hopefully get a chance to return.

All around great experience. Good food. Great service. Can be a tad slow and busy but nothing that ruins the experience.

Very comfortable and spacious bedroom. Lovely breakfast. Nice walk downhill to Dalkey village.

First time back in years and I ll be booking as often as possible!
Food amazing
Service amazing
Family room class and the kids loved the fact we could get Netflix!
Pool ect brilliant
Amazing family break

Had a great time here we were well looked after... Will be back.......

Rooms are very large and spacious. Staff is very helpful and friendly. And location close to Dalkey village and station is great.

Food good. Service not good at all. One Waitress was very good (an Irish girl with glasses) - the rest were wandering around like zombies trying not to catch your eye. The table was full of someone else's meal and was not cleared for at the very least ten minutes.

Stayed here for a night a couple of years ago. Not the best.

Great dinner and Fabulous cocktails. Only bad thing about this was that it was my last night in Ireland. Would have loved to stay longer!

Nice hotel but needs major refurbishment in the communal areas

Great ambience and a super waiter. Food good arrived piping hot
Coffee slight bitter after taste but did not linger would recommend it highly

How cool is it when you get to stay in a legit Irish castle?! I can answer: VERY COOL! Really enjoyed our stay at Fitzpatrick Castle. We had just flown into Ireland and this was our first stop, and right off the bat we knew our trip was going to be a blessing and a treat. We were warmly welcomed, served delicious tea and coffee, and shown to our very comfortable rooms. The grounds of the castle were beautiful, and it was right up the road from Delky, a fun Irish town that is perfect for walking and meeting the friendly Irish folk.

Me and my family loved to stay there! The hotel is awesome and the village surrounding it it's small but really nice :)

Good quality old fashioned service. Definitely worth a visit. Great for families

As a family we loved our time at the Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel. The friendly staff were all extremely helpful, polite and gave us a warm welcome. A good friend had recommended the hotel to us and we'll be sure to recommend it to others. Hope to stay again. Thanks

Love this place,food was great, had few drinks in the lounge, the atmosphere is relaxing.

Very nice hotel in an amazing town and has a unique bar downstairs. Backs up to a park with beautiful views of the coastline.

We enjoyed a delicious, very generous afternoon tea in charming surroundings - will come again!

Historic place made warm and cozy by the modern fixtures and great service staffs! Keep up the great job!

Excellent hotel, I'd recommend it to anyone. Wonderful staff, incredible rooms and great restaurants on the premises that never leave you unsatisfied. It's also only a short walk to Dalkey, and the DART station, so it's also convenient for those on foot.

June 2016 - business trip with Irish clients.
What used to be a very welcoming place has been neglected in fabric and needs a good refurbishment. The lack of air conditioning in the bed rooms is obvious, as the rooms are stuffy at all times. The bedroom decor is outdated and feels 'past it'. Unfortunately the preponderance of non-Irish staff is reducing the helpful feeling that you normally get in Ireland. The food and service are generally good (with the exception of some Reception staff) but having been here 5 years running on business with clients, I think this will be the last time.

Well what can i say ,,have brought my mother for lunch a few times ,,,felt so safe and the staff r great especially sonia she is amazing at her job food excellent

Awesome drinks, and good. Very pleasant staff. The rooms are very modern and very nice.

Charming hotel. The room was lovely with a four poster bed. Besides the normal room tea set up, there was a water set up with wine glasses on the table. The bathroom was old fashioned but charming. We only tried one of the restaurants but the food was good and reasonably priced. Would definitely go back.

Room was great, spacious workout area and restaurant had a great burger.

Good service. Clean. Restaurant had very good food.

Nice hotel. Great venue for weddings, graduations, or other occasions. Great service and food. Facilities are well maintained.

Our niece was married here last weekend. It was a most beautiful wedding! Thank you Fitzpatrick Hotel for providing services for this wonderful event!

This place is definitely 5 star. It had the most comfortable bed, a spacious bathroom, and good food.
