I was taken to Dublin as a surprise to see my sister who lives there. my very generous partner booked my sister in to the same hotel as us for the weekend which was great. The hotel is in a good location, not too close to the very noisy city centre but close enough so as not to make taxis etc too expensive.
The rooms were excellent and although ours did not have a bath which I prefer, we were able to make a slight upgrade within 10 minutes to a room where you had to catch a bus from one side of the bed to the other and the windows were floor to ceiling giving a great view. The breakfast was all you could wish for and the bar and bar snacks were excellent. I cannot praise the staff enough, they were all exceptionally helpful and friendly. only one slight downside, we ate in the restaurant on the Friday night and whilst the majority of our meal was very good I am afraid to say that our steaks were barely edible. Luckily the restaurant manager agreed with us and took them off the bill thereby rectifying what I imagine was clearly a mistake on the kitchens part.It was a stones throw from the airport bus stop and a short way to Dublin Zoo, well worth a visit and also the Guinness factory which should not be missed. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a stay in Dublin unless you want to be right in the centre of it all.

The Hotel public areas were lovely and Breakfast was great... However there was nothing 4 star about the room, It was drab and tired looking and for some bizarre reason had 3 beds?! Which is fine if you booked a family room which we did not, also another problem was the heat it was like stepping into a sauna making spending any long periods of time in the room just uncomfortable.

Just returned from a four night stay at the Ashling Hotel, Was very impressed, lovely room ( superior king room) bathroom was huge with a great shower, spotlessly clean. value for money at £320. staff were excellant and i would highly recomend the food in the bar as very affordable and very nice, Although not central in the city it was very easy to get to by either tram or taxi, or even walk if your legs are up to it. A mini bar would have been good but otherwise i cant fault this hotel and would definetly go back again, a very relaxing stay.

We had 6 rooms(party of 12) and checked in on the 12th Jan and stayed for 2 nights.All of our group were impressed with the hotel,the staff were helpful,the rooms were spacious and comfortable and the whole hotel was very clean.Although not located in the centre of Dublin,there are numerous buses you can catch in to the city and the bus to and from the airport runs frequently.Would definately reccomend the freedom 3 day bus pass (28 euro) which gives unlimited travel on all buses,hop on-off tour bus and the airport link bus.Will definately stay in the Ashling on our next visit to Dublin
