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!
Walking distance to all the main attractions but far away from all the noise. Helpful staff, comfortable beds, excellent breakfast and excellent fitness centre. Would definitely stay again.
Stay here! Every staff member goes beyond. They gave us an early check in on our arrival and even packed our breakfast to go when we left. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Hop on , hop bud close by with the City Centre just a 15 to 20 min walk. You don’t have to stay in Dublin Centre, consider this hidden gem!

Jjinella位置對我的目的來說很棒,我在Fonthill有一些生意要參加,酒店離我很近。仍然需要開車,但開車5分鐘。
距離利菲谷購物中心(Liffey Valley Shopping Mall)也只有步行距離。這是一個典型的大型購物中心,設有體面的餐廳和電影院。
酒店與健身中心(像健身俱樂部)相連,提供健身房和游泳池。酒店客人免費入場。早點去,游泳池在8.30am後變得擁擠。
有充足的停車場,以優惠的價格提供。
我唯一的松雞是缺乏提供的洗浴用品。謝天謝地,我帶了自己的套裝。廁所只有洗手液和洗髮水(但分配器幾乎是空的)。
除此之外,房間寬敞,乾淨,牀很舒服。如果你需要在那個地區,值得入住。
訪訪客Fantastic location and building. Lovely staff, comfy bed and great shower.
If you miss the 930 cut off for food then maybe try somewhere in town, the bar menu and wine list not as good.
Breakfast was really good. Great stay all in all.
