Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel

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!

This hotel is totally classic and cozy to staying at here. The service is completely excellent and professional. The only bad thing there is the location is too far away to the Bray train. It is necessary that drive car into hotel but i havent. Its too inconvenient.

House keeping very poor. Our room wasn’t made up when we got back both evening.  We had expressed this on leaving to go out on the Monday morning so expected the room to be serviced and it wasn’t again. This happened us a few years ago at Fitzpatrick and it hasn’t got any better. We don’t think this is good enough as we were away from early morning until after 4 pm approximately 6 hrs. Plenty of time to make up a pretty tidy room. Very disappointed. I spoke to duty manager Stephen and he was very nice ,looking to give us a free meal which i didn’t except as i wasn’t looking something free i just want they to improve their house keeping.!!!!!!

My stay at Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel was truly memorable. The amenities surrounding the hotel were incredible, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and convenience. Just a short walk from the hotel, I found myself at the sea, where I enjoyed serene walks along the shore and the calming sound of the waves. In the opposite direction, a gentle stroll took me to the nearby hills, providing breathtaking views and invigorating hiking opportunities. The proximity to both the sea and the hills made my stay at Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel a unique and enriching experience. The blend of luxury accommodation with such splendid natural surroundings is something I will cherish and look forward to experiencing again.

The location is good and hotel needs updating, the carpets and hallway look outdated, the rooms service was leaving only two large towels even though there was 3 occupants in the room, the staff were very helpful, the chef/kitchen is poor, long waits just to get chicken fingers and chips, the menu is over priced for what you get, (portion are small for the price) we got cauliflower soup and it was like water and the soup bowl was not even warm, we only eat there once and had appetizers on our last night, I would stay again if the price was right but I would not eat there unless there is a big change with the restaurant chef, the breakfast was traditional Irish, not much of a fresh fruit options unless it was all taken by 9am when I came down for breakfast.

整體讓人很滿意，有公主夢幻般的感覺，房間的床夠大，設備也很齊全。24小時櫃檯服務，讓人很安心。在這裡拍了很多漂亮的照片。是一個很大氣的古堡。附近還有一個小公園，繞過小公園之後往山坡上一直爬到頂端，可以看到靠近海邊的整個城市的全景。見圖8，可以問飯店的服務生如何過去這個山坡上，從古堡大概走20分鐘就可以抵達唷。

房間很大，床也又大又舒服，英國愛爾蘭旅行途中，極少的床舒服的酒店，推薦大家可以來住，還有游泳打球之類的康樂項目

Restaurant food and staff couldnt find any faults. very enjoyable. When l checked out of the hotel, l asked why we could not have had a classic room with a better view than the dirty roof top.l was informed that next time book directly with the hotel and not through a 3rd party . I actually don't think you can see the sea. She agreed. I found this rude and unhelpful. Will not stay again felt extremely demented. Certainly spoilt our wedding anniversary.

The room was a bit warm but otherwise it was wonderful. The music in The dungeon bar was great!! And food was delicious
