Trim Castle Hotel

Bailey bar just fab. Well managed and clean. Runs like clockwork. Great selection of cocktails and food. Sound barmen/waitresses too, friendly and skilled. Place has a lovely atmosphere and great view of the castle itself. |Staff are attentive but not annoyingly so like some other places. Perfect balance really.

I can't say how refreshing it is to see such caring young staff working in the Bailey restaurant area. We were greeted at the door with a smile, and every step along the way the waitresses and bar staff could not have been more helpful and pleasant. Nothing felt like too much to ask and everything was delievered to our table swiftly with a smile. The food too - delicious!! Would really recommend the berry pavlova and the satay skewers - they were amazing. My wife and I will definitely be returning for dinner at the bailey restaurant again soon, especially for such caring young staff!

Our room was very satisfactory and comfortable. We dined in Boann on the evening we stayed and ordered pizza and pasta. Pasta was satisfactory but the margarita pizza was terrible. Hardly any tomato base sauce and huge amount of cheese just piled on. We were the only two diners in the restaurant so no excuse for poor quality food. However the staff serving the food were very pleasant. Again the next morning we had breakfast in Boann as we were staying B&B. We were travelling for work so were down at 0745hrs and again the only two in the restaurant. My partner ordered poached eggs and tomatoes and when it came out there was a large black her in the tomatoes which she immediately pointed out. The staff did apologise and offer another breakfast but we did not have time to wait as had to go to work, so she ate nothing but a slice of toast. This is totally unacceptable and disgusting. We travel all over Ireland for work and are extremely disappointed in the standards of your kitchen, both hygienically and quality of food. I don’t normally leave feedback, but felt compelled to do so. This is really letting your hotel down, as staff and rooms are very nice. Management need to provide feedback to the kitchen and ensure hygiene policies are being adhered to!

We stayed at the hotel for two nights and enjoyed dinner on the first evening. Manolo and his team were incredibly welcoming, and the food was outstanding. Our room was spacious, and the bar had a great atmosphere. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Great experience over the festive break. Great fun and the staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. Food on New Years Eve was great and service excellent. Loved how attentive the crew were with my elderly parents who told them they would see them next year!

Credit to Andrew and his team in the Bailey Brasserie - some of the best service myself or my family have ever gotten! We were delighted with the efficiency, the tastiness of the food and, above all, the friendliness of the staff. Cleary, they've got a happy working environment here, and it's reflected in the quality of the service. Will be sure to return.

A lovely hotel and bar. Me and my wife visited for dinner on the way home from Dublin. A fantastic find and a great view when having dinner in the Bailey bar. Andrew was lovely to talk to and the service was great. Hopefully we will be back again soon.

Visited the Bailey Bar over the Christmas period. We live locally and have eaten here a number of times throughout the year – great food (plentiful and reasonably priced – chicken curry my favourite), cocktails delicious (thanks Andrew) and all the servers friendly and efficient. Compliments to the Management for a well-run restaurant/bar – cannot say enough good things about the Bailey Bar.

Trim castle was beautiful. Unfortunately I didn't have time to do the tour of the inside but the walking grounds were beautiful! It use to have a mote which was the most intriguing part to me! Loved it!

We stopped in for tea and cake. They were preparing for a wedding. Cannot comment on the hotel. Seems very nice. The cafe had very nice select of coffee, tea, and cake. The service was pleasant as well. I'd like to say more but I cannot. From the other reviews I'd say that this is a good place to say when you are next in Trim, Ireland. FYI.... The movie Bravehart was shot at Trim Castle.

The management changed their mind and honored my discount Overall a very nice hotel

Nice rooms. Lovely view of the castle. Little to no amenities. No a/c in the rooms. Food in the bar restaurant was very good if you could get it. Our poor server was the host, bartender, and bus boy. Many people were turned away for not having a reservation and there were little to no places open in town as alternatives. In short, plan ahead and make your meal reservations.

We are here on a Monday night and will be leaving early tomorrow morning to fly home to the US. It's after 10:30 and there is a party going on below us with a loud live band or DJ. I already called to ask them to turn the volume down about an hour ago. They got a little quieter for about 15 minutes but now they're back at full volume. The hostess I spoke to said she would call the manager and offered to see if they could move us. If they knew there was going to be a party tonight, why didn't they put us as farther away to start?

Beautiful accommodations & wonderful staff. Comfortable rooms with a really lovely breakfast. The location is ideal if your taking a stroll or site seeing. Will absolutely return.

We had a WONDERFUL stay here. Me and my family (husband, 9yo and 1 yo) did the Family getaway package and everything was amazing. The room was great nice and big to fit us all and all of our bags. There was no A/C but we expected that since most hotels in Ireland don't have it and we just kept the windows open which was nice with the cool air coming in. Our package included in the stay was a dinner at the Brasserie, breakfast both mornings at Jules Restaurant, and a picnic lunch provided by the hotel that we were able to take with us and have a picnic in front of the castle. The castle is literally right next door. There is also a nice town you can walk around and check out as well. Our dinner at the Brasserie was great, you get a limited menu with the package but there was still so much to choose from and everything we had was delicious. We actually ate there our second night as well because we did not realize that stuff closed so early on Monday nights but they were more than accommodating for us. Laura in the restaurant was AMAZING especially with our 1 year old. This was our first stay on our trip so we were all a little jetlagged and he wasn't feeling his best but she was so helpful both nights. Breakfast was delicious and came out quickly and hot and everyone was very attentive to us. The only issue with the picnic lunch was that they did not have it ready at our specified time so we had to wait a little for it to come out but other than that everything was delicious. We also got a couple of snacks from the café and I got an iced mocha which was delicious and so were the snacks that we got. Parking is located under the hotel and is free if you're a guest you just have to talk to the front desk about it. All in all we had a great stay and I'm glad that we stayed here for our first nights and were able to not stress too much.

Have you ever seen the movie Brave Heart? This is where some scenes were filmed. It was so awesome learning so much about the history of the country and the history of the castle . The tour guide did an awesome job providing details and historical information about the castle and the surrounding area. Once you reach the top of the castle make sure to take plenty of pictures

Wonderful hotel in a beautiful town. My friends and I stayed here during our tour of Ireland and loved the restaurant, terrace views, and lovely rooms. I highly recommend this hotel! The staff is delightful and very accommodating.

Excellent place to stay right across the street from the trim castle. First-class accommodations in a hotel that meets our needs. Mariam assisted us is the concierge was very helpful in finding me the local gym to work out. Or dinner included in the tour package was first class. My Irish coffee after dinner was the best I've ever had. Breakfast the next day in a different restaurant Jules was well accommodated. The Buffett breakfast is traditional Irish foods and Suzanne assisted us and was the best. For those of us from the USA, only two drawbacks to this place, 1) no central air controlled by residents, 2) they need automatic doors next to the parking lot for easy loading. Otherwise, very nice stay and Well recommended, we would return.

Steak & Guinness pie and beer selection were both acceptable, but calamari was soggy. Service was horrible - sat for 20 minutes without any attention. Left and returned but even then was slow. And the water tasted faintly of beef stew (?) and there were unannounced vegetables.

This hotel was amazing. We availed of a Sunday night winter offer - €65 for two people with breakfast and the night was flawless. Our room was massive, private balcony and balcony furniture, bath, couch and seats. The restaurant was closed on the Sunday night so we had dinner in the Bailey Bar. First of all, they really accommodated my picky eating habits. Secondly, there was excellent value for money and finally food was great !! We also enjoyed our breakfast and coffee in the coffee shop. Hotel guests also get 10% discount in the Kilkenny Shop. Other reviews mentioned having to pay for parking, it was only €3 so considering how cheap everything else was, I didn't mind. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Plus the hotel is right across from Trim Castle. Trim town was very pleasant with loads to do. To sum up, this hotel visit was the best and cheapest I'd ever had in Ireland. Trim Castle Hotel - you will see me again

I visit this hotel regularly, mostly for the Barista cafe within. It's probably the best place to go in Trim for a coffee. They open til about 5pm daily and serve breakfast, a good selection of lunch options, salads & desserts. The coffee they serve is Robert Roberts. I find their coffee to be quite weak, so if you typically like your coffee strong, like I do, try a double macchiato, rather than a cappuccino! Their cakes can be hit or miss. They do lovely walnut & cherry scones. Staff are super friendly. There's loads of seating in the cafe itself & it's always pretty busy. The hotel also has a carvery area at the front, a separate restaurant (Jules Restaurant) & bar. The hotel also has a reasonably sized Kilkenny Design store within (across from the cafe entrance) that sells accessories, jewellery & home wares. The hotel has a fabulous (if not mildly sacrilegious) location, being constructed literally metres from the magnificent Trim Castle. If I were coming to stay in Trim as a tourist, this is probably where I'd choose to stay as it's right in the centre of the town!

I had a great time in this hotel, it's very well located, just facing the Trim Castle, and if you're lucky, you can have a espetacular view from the castle. Food was decent, actually very good, they have a bar, restaurant and a café. The only thing I didn't like is the parking for my car, I had to pay for it, it's usually free in most of the hotels.

Not bad food, but some of the most inept service I have ever had in my life. I write this with the check and a 50 euro note one the table--no one can even manage to come by and pick up the money! Details: We were referred here because of the nice views of the castle from the windows--which is true. Trim Castle is an impressive ruin, and the hotel restaurant/bar has big windows looking out. And the hotel itself looks quite lovely. We enjoyed our food--not spectacular but good. And as an American, the best mushy peas I have ever had. But each and every waitperson appears to be incompetent or untrained, one or the other. They were all fairly nice and sweet, but couldn't seem to get it together. Around us, food was repeatedly brought to the wrong table, drinks offered twice, and there were fidgety, waiting customers everywhere. I did speak with the manager, and she was apologetic. If they get this all put together, it will be a fine place for a nice dinner--and I have some faith that they will do so. But we did NOT have a good experience.

Went here for my cousins wedding and it was like stepping into a grand luxury hotel. Huge sweeping.stair case and the gloriplous trim castle across the road. Ferro rosche for the wedding.and coffee before hand the room was amazing and the staff where like a well piled train army everyrhing.done to a perfect.standard. the food was amazing the salmon was falling off the forks it was so well done and well prepared even the sandwhichs at the end of the night i could not get enough. The hotel was huge the room where amazing and the beautiful trim castle across the road. Its a wondeful place for couples to get away to even for a night or two its worth it really leaves u feeling great and cared for . Even just to relax in the restaurant or enjoy a walk around the castle defo i wud go back and its very easy to find literally acrosss.the road from the castle.

This hotel had a decent restaurant for a very good price (€25 for 5 courses). The food is average but the service was great. Get a table by the window and you will have an amazing view.

Never rely on Trim Castle to forward on valuable items. I had left a ring my mother gave me in the room. I was immediately contacted when cleaning staff found it, for which I was very grateful. I was then told they would take my card details to send it by registered post which was great. Unfortunately it never arrived. It then took three/four weeks of persistently phoning to learn that it was not sent by registered post and is presumably gone. I rang between 10 - 15 times and was continuously fobbed off, told they didn't know anything and told they'd ring me back and never did. They weren't in the least bit apologetic and simply wanted the problem to go away. They have neither compensated me for the cost of postage, nor the value of the ring. Never in my life have I experienced such unprofessionalism and disorganisation. My heart it absolutely broken and I have no idea how the staff saw a valuable silver ring and didn't think it needed to be sent by registered post. An appalling experience. Would absolutely not recommend.

This was one of my favorite hotels during my time in Ireland. Clean and charming with a great top floor patio directly facing the Castle. The restaurant was also nice, with traditional Irish fare done very well.
