About this place Castle Hotel

Located at 405 Water Street in Gardiner, this traditional Georgian house hotel offers a welcoming base for LGBTQ+ travellers exploring the area. Housed in a historic building, the hotel combines classic charm with modern amenities, positioning itself as an inclusive accommodation choice in the region. Guests can expect comfortable, well-appointed rooms equipped with tea and coffeemaking facilities, televisions, and complimentary WiFi throughout the property. A full Irish breakfast is included with your stay, setting you up well for a day of exploring. The hotel features lift access for accessibility and offers parking for those travelling by car, available for a fee.

The hotel features two distinct dining spaces to suit different moods. An airy, casual restaurant provides a relaxed atmosphere for meals, while an intimate stone-built restaurant housed in a converted 19th-century wine vault offers a more refined dining experience, complete with a bar. Whether you're looking for a quiet evening in or a night out exploring Gardiner's hospitality scene, this property provides both accommodation and dining options within the same welcoming space.

Great position but the place is a bit dated which meant we could clearly hear the noise from next door and above us. Again we had to ask for the heating to be turned on as even though it is apparently Summer, it is absolutely freezing especially for Queenslanders from Australia. The staff were amazing and very accomodating and the in house entertainment breathtaking.

The single room was quite small, but okay. The location is pretty good; you can quickly reach the famous shopping streets and Temple Bar. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast is very good. The hotel closes when it's quiet, which is sometimes quite early.

A lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff in a nice central location. Good food in the on site restaurants and the nightly live music was most enjoyable.
