“Good Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

This is a lovely hotel. We had dinner here one night and it was good. A great selection for breakfast too. There is a lovely bar with a good selection of beers and spirits. I thought the cocktails were a bit expensive. The rooms are fine. Excellent location, it's very easy to get to the city centre or the trains from here. The tram runs by the door outside which will bring you into the city. I have stayed here before and will stay again.

“Good Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

About 200 meters from the main train station and equally close to the main history museum as well as steps from the main tram line into the center of the city. We came in by train from Galway and found the hotel an easy walk even with a bit of luggage. Our room was clean and well kept and everything worked and while it fronted onto the main street it was very quite. Checkin was easy as was checking out. The only problem we encountered was breakfast which took a long time, probably because we ordered off the menu. It took long time to get our food and even longer to get the bill taken care of. Save from breakfast it I have no complaints and would stay at this hotel again, especially if I were traveling by train to or from Dublin.

“A nice stay and comfortable rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

The Ashling Hotel in Dublin is just a few footsteps away from the Main Stadion and the tram thats going to the city centre. The Hotel has a really nice atmosphere with a huge foyer, restaurant, a nice bar and a lot of space. the that i stayed in was not really large, but big enough for a short stay. it's pretty clean and modern with a new bathroom, television, hair dryer and everything else thats really necessary. I can recommentd this place to anyone that wants to stay in nice place in the beautiful city of Dublin.

“Fantastic!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

The rooms were incredible and the service was impeccable. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. There was a slight buzzing in our room when we first checked in and we called down to ask about it. Rather than sending maintenance the front desk clerk was up literally within seconds with keys to a new room, upgraded. With rooms already booked back at the Ashling for the following weekend (we were traveling around in between Ireland), my wife asked if it would be possible to stay in the exact same room the following weekend, and they easily accommodated us.

I can't say enough about the incredibly friendly staff! Ever pleasant and helpful, they answered any questions we had about the city and transportation (and we had many). It was a great stay.
