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. read more

Trim Castle Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Trim, MH

We wouldn't return to this money hungry place. It was our third hotel on our trip. The others were half the price here with better food, more welcoming and well managed. I booked online for ourselves and two guests, £712 for two nights for two couples. On arrival we were met by a sullen lady receptionist in the hostility rather than hospitality business. Her greeting was 100,000 welcomes short. Avoiding eye contact, she quickly drew attention that I'd only booked one guest per room. I wasn't aware, it was my mistake booking on-line so I paid the £40 shortfall for additional breakfasts to avoid challenge at breakfast but guess what, on the first morning I was embarrassed to see our guests challenged for additional money by a manager in front of other guests in the breakfast room minutes after being shown to our table. I went to reception for a senior manager but none were on duty: I said I'd return early evening for the night. No one bothered to find me - efficiency ceased at grabbing my cash. The charming, morning reception lady couldn't explain why this happened but feeding their greed didn't work. We dined in their restaurant night one; maximum priced against least effort to make - same in their cafe. It took ages for our order to come - pizzas, salads - that came soon after I enquired from a minimum wage waitress. Staff were rushed. We dined elsewhere next night. Breakfast next morning delivered the toughest saltiest 'crispy' bacon I had the displeasure to eat: solid leathery. Any chef would know they served rubbish. I prefer fish (we got fish in the two cheaper better customer focussed hotels) but not offered here so Ireland's fishery industry is unsupported. Sausages were overcooked, plum tomatoes weren't plum but round, 'free range' eggs aren't and mushrooms tasted like they were tinned. The honey isn't honey; fake from China and Mexico - rubbish. A second coffee pour isn't offered. Waitresses carrying the pot don't make eye contact so must be called. They were, but guests shouldn't have to shout for coffee. The soft water isn't filtered so coffee/tea tastes sour, again no expense spent. I'm glad I didn't ask for cappuccino. Our in room tea bags contained micro plastics. There's irony here - the hotel shop flogs Irish produce yet at breakfast no Boyne Valley or local honey nor support Irish fishing. The tomato, brown sauce and mustard pouches are cheap with chemicals added - no better quality Heinz, HP or Colman's mustard - maximum dosh from customers minimum spent on customers. Breakfast second morning was avoidably grim - remember £180 a night for two with breakfast. The brekky menu states 'eggs any way' so avoiding horrid bacon, cheap sausages I opted for omelette 2 eggs but waitress instantly said 'we don't do omelettes' I rehearsed 'eggs any way' omelette is eggs simple, easy quick. I asked for a manager, twice in 24 hours none appeared: there was one I saw him. Management had two opportunities to speak with me directly, a third would soon arise. I expect a menu re write to not do omelettes. The polite waitress returned after a good while. She unapologetically asked what omelette I wanted - our youth are often curt and don't do hospitality well. I got an overcooked plain one. So here it's seems too much effort for high paying guests: a lazy chef. Another 100,000 welcomes and one apology short. On return to our room after our second avoidably unpleasant brekky experience in 24 hours the door key card wouldn't work. The room cleaner was next door. She refused to open the door and as English isn't her first language we understood her to say she'd go to reception as she walked away. After several minutes she returned but we had misunderstood so I entered the room she was cleaning (guests had left) to phone down. It was the lady I'd raised the money grabbing incident with; here was a third missed opportunity by management. She apologised and sent up new cards taking 15 minutes when she simply could have told the cleaner to let us into our £180 a night room. I know cards malfunction but we were peeved at all the malfunctions, money grabbing and at over three score and 10 with a belly of negotiated omelette I wasn't up for trekking to reception and back. On the matter of three score and ten and male I've sympathy for plumbing and our in-room radiator came on noisily each morning. 90 minutes swishing constantly running water sounds and clunky hissing noise so much so I couldn't get back to sleep. Climbing into the bath to shower is challenging. On departure the polite morning receptionist asked if I was sorted, indicating she had escalated my complaints. She invited me to speak to a manager but it was pointless as we were leaving. There's management here but not as we know it Jim; beam me up Scotty. Caveat Emptor applies here in spades; they forget the rule customers make paydays. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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? read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
