"We have stayed at Clontarf Castle several times, usually the day or two before we fly home to the USA, since it is near the Dublin airport. The Clontarf neighborhood is a lovely part of Dublin, with good transit downtown. It is also near many interesting places that are within about an hour's drive or less north of Dublin, such as Malahide Castle and town, the Newgrange prehistoric passage tombs (get tickets in advance), and the Monasterboices monastic site with its famous high crosses. ...

"We arrived in Dublin for our honeymoon, Arthaus provided an early check in, and a bottle of wine and chocolates in our room! Parking garage is right next door, I did know not know they would validate (50% off parking) so I prepaid it. At the front desk they offered breakfast vouchers. The breakfast was great, there was a good menu. Both men working at the front desk were so friendly and helpful! We would definitely return."
