Cashel Palace Hotel

We had a wonderful mini honeymoon at Cashel Palace for one night, Sept 23rd. We arrived and went straight to the pool, and I had a wonderful massage with Saoirse (I hope I have recalled her name correctly). We enjoyed pre dinner cocktails in the Residents bar. Our meal in Mike Ryan's was delicious and our server Florent (I hope I have the name right here too) was very attentive. There was a great Irish band playing in O' Donoghues, the on-site traditional pub. My husband said the Guinness was great! Our room was beautifully appointed and I don't think I have experienced softer bed sheets before. We had a very tasty breakfast that set us up for our journey home. Thank you to the reservations team, Lynsey, and the front desk team that checked us in and out. It is great to see the GM be in all areas assisting his team, meeting and greeting all the guests at every opportunity. Thank you for a beautiful experience. We cannot wait to return!

The hotel’s décor is a masterpiece in itself. Every corner feels meticulously curated, with contemporary furniture that strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style. The lobby greets you with towering ceilings and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light, creating a welcoming and airy environment. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is the breathtaking art collection that adorns its walls.

Disappointed with the experience at this hotel. The spa was great, could not fault the service and the main building and restaurant were very good. What let it down were the bedrooms. We stayed for 2 nights after our wedding and on both nights had disturbed sleep. The first night, both my husband and I were woken more than once during the night by a green light in the ceiling that lit up the room. We mentioned this to reception who sent maintenance up who stuck some tape over the light. The next night were were disturbed by thumping dance music clearly audible in the room. I assumed this was coming from a venue near by and went to reception to mention it. The music was in fact coming from a party in their ballroom. The duty manager asked the DJ to turn the music down and checked it was no longer audible in the room. For a 5 star hotel I don't expect to be disturbed in the bedroom by a party going on in the ballroom of the hotel. Similarly, the solution to a problem shouldn't be sticking some tape over it. It just let the whole experience down. In our stay, the hotel seemed to prioritise a big group staying at the hotel over the other guests. The said group were the group having the party in the ballroom and on the first night the drawing room was out of bounds for guests as they were having a private drinks reception there. This is a lovely space to sit and relax and on the hotels website it is advertised as such as actually the first image as such yet on one of our nights we were not allowed in there.

Very good experience in the Cashel Palace. The interior of the main building is spectacular. Food, bars and all amenities were excellent. What I would say is that if you aren’t staying in the main building which is likely out of budget for most, the cheaper carriage house rooms are very overpriced for what they are. If someone was asking for advice on staying in Cashel I would definitely recommend visiting Cashel Palace, eating in the restaurant, having a drink at the Guinness bar and using the Spa but unless they had the budget to stay in the main building I’d recommend staying in the hotel across the road for less than half of the price.

The hotel is impressive from first site. Beautiful building perfectly decorated with the Rock of Cashel ruins in the back yard. The local people were really nice and we really loved our time there. The one thing I would do differently would be to stay longer.

Absolutely fabulous hotel. Beautiful location looking onto the Rock of Cashel. Beautiful rooms, tastefully decorated and very calming. The Spa is the best spa we have been to. We had the pool and thermal suite to ourselves at one point. Our seaweed baths and treatments where faultless. Incredibly relaxing. Our therapists where wonderful. Food was spectacular. Bishops Buttery was exceptional, subline food. Mickey Ryan's was good too, with a more relaxed vibe and less formal. Breakfast was also top notch and is served in the luxurious Queen Anne room. The residents bar was small but very stylish and serves fabulous cocktails. The residents drawing room was very prestigious and relaxing. The Guiness Bar downstairs was cosy and comfortable. The Staff where very friendly and attentive. It was an expensive 2 days, but a special treat for our 10 year wedding anniversary, and thankfully the experience was worth every penny. Highly recommend.

Very high end small hotel. Best place in the area by a long way. Classy public spaces but small pool Perfect to visit Rock of Cashel Fantastic pub restaurant Mikey Ryans attached Best breakfast I’ve had in a hotel for years Cocktail bar quite small but lovely experience Guinness bar in basement ok but felt like basement Rooms in the carriage area were very well appointed and comfortable but very very small for euro 500 a night…. Will be back for the Mikey Ryans experience but the price of the rooms too much to repeat very often

Lovely grounds with views of the Rock of Cashel. Very friendly and helpful staff. It would have been nice if they offered us a beverage while we were waiting for our room to be ready but they were extremely busy that day. The bedding was extremely comfortable and there was always a hint of perfume in the air. The General Manager is also very kind and polished. The only drawback was that my friend got stuck in the elevator for 15 minutes.

Excellent hotel . Couldn’t fault the staff , very friendly excellent food especially in the bishops buttery My only complaint would be the pillows were very flat . Sagged in the middle, other the that a perfect stay .
