Mixed on this occasion

We live the castleknock however one or two small issues on this occasion that was disappointing The jacuzzi was out of order so too was another relaxing area at tonic A lot of cleaning and repair work going on there during peak times Finally housekeeping called to the door at 12.07 just as we were getting ready to leave and I thought this was very sharp considering all hotels including cadtleknock now off check in at 4pm in the afternoon Saying that we are booked to go back again with whole family for Christmas I just hope all the amenities in tonic are working Staff at cadtleknock are excellent

Will be back…. Hopefully

Really enjoyable stay as always. Facilities excellent , room very comfortable and food was decent in the bar in the evening. Only improvement I can suggest is to get more EV chargers and make sure they’re fast chargers . For a hotel this size to have just 2 “slow chargers” isn’t good enough. This would be a deciding factor for me and many of my colleagues as a recharge is crucial when staying at a hotel

We have stayed here before, and liked it. This time, we found the room on the cold side, especially with the snow. There was no thermostat to adjust the temperature. The towels and robes provided were on the hard side. Breakfast was excellent though. Parking was good too.
