The Croke Park Hotel

Location right across from iconic Croke Park, efficiency of the staff, but mostly the fantastic restaurant, The Hawthorn. Superb food, including maybe the best dish I ever tasted, my entree of Ceviche. Cleanest, tastiest food I’ve had in Ireland and UK and probably ever! Wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. I thanked the chef when he came to our table after my entree and I could tell he’s very proud of his work. By the way, my main of two styles of lamb was also delicious. I’ll return to this hotel on my next visit to Ireland to try some of the other no doubt great dishes.

The breakfast was this amazing buffet bar with options and service. I really appreciated the room amenities and the guidance from the staff on the different activities in the area. The rooms were incredibly clean and the staff was great about getting more towels/toiletries as needed.

Room 172. 2 X ( bug) DBL beds. Very Comfy beds..essential for.me with a bad back. Big TV for a hotel !.a separate shower and bath. Iron and hair dryer..spacious room for family of 4. Lobby is big and divided into 3 separate areas so you can have privacy whilst having a drink..there's a snug in the corner with a fire too! The bar/restaurant is nice. My husband hates sitting and only likes standing or stools and this bar had plenty of those and also cozy areas for couples and people who wanted more privacy. Food good. We ate fish and chips and the burger both cooked well. Wine by the glass is 7.50. We don't smoke but I spotted an outside area.for a.smoke too. Staff..all lovely 7 mins walk from Drumcondra road.wjere there are pubs, cafes, restaurants. Also the bus 41 to the airport ( cheap) and at the same.stop for the coach bus 700 to the airport. And of course directly outside croke park stadium!

Beautiful hotel, the rooms spacious, comfy and clean. The breakfast was delicious. The staff were super helpful. The bar’s downstairs were gorgeous with lots nice seating to chill after busy day. Enjoyed the Croke Park skyline tour which was an unexpected highlight of our trip. Only downside was location as didn’t feel safe walking back with family but lots public transport and instant Uber options to get into centre. Would definitely stay again.

The cleanliness and comfort of the bedroom, good shower and products provided.Very pleasant staff. Very calm. The hotel staff kindly accepted to pass on a gift to a friend of ours which she picked up a few days after.
