Ashling Hotel Dublin Reviews

5 out of 5

Extremely impressed with this hotel - everything from the decor, lobby, bar, room, bathroom, staff, loaction, and breakfast were top class! We booked in here for a show as the hotel is to the West of the city (beside Heuston) and easy to find with free parking. Even though we didn't drive to the Grand Canal it was only about €10 give or take €2 each way which is very reasonable and both the Luas and city bus run from right beside the hotel - perfect for shopping etc. Phoenix park is a stone's throw to walk/drive as well and so easy to get out of the city by car. The rooms were more than adequate, perfect temperature, meticulously clean and beatifully decorated. Staff were more than friendly and were only too happy to answer any questions we had about the Luas/ park/ etc. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to family/friends.

I recently stayed in the Ashling hotel when I was going to a concert in the O2 arena. The location is excellent for anyone travelling to Dublin by train. A quick stroll over the bridge and you are in the beautiful foyer of the Ashling hotel. Myself and my friend stayed in a twin room which was lovely and clean, the sheets were pristine and really soft making for a great night's sleep. We were able to get the luas straight down to the O2 to start our night out. The next morning we had the short hop back over to Heusten station for the journey home - no waiting for taxis, getting stuck in traffic while paying through the nose for it! The most convenient hotel in Dublin for the train traveller!!

hotel lovely, very high standard of accommodation at good (but not brilliant) value. however, one issue I have- Was up for work and had driven. OK, free car parking was mentioned. However, I needed to leave the car till lunch time the next day. When checking out I asked if I would validate the ticket now or later when taking the car (sometimes the validation will only work within 15min when trying to leave). I, at checkout, was told that parking was free - until 12noon which was check out time. after this it was €2-00 per hour. (I realise this is not very dear, but as a cutesy to a customer it was petty. In the end up (and this is leaving more of a taste in my mouth) I arrived back at just after 13.00. I promptly went to reception to validate my ticket and the receptionist - who was rather grumpy at the thought of my validating the parking or some other reason, turned to her colleague and said to her 'charge is from 10 isn't it?' Upon hearing this I said 'no its from 12pm - check out time. to which I was looked at with what I took to be disdain or doubt and ask when was I told this? 'At check out time' I replied. I was then told I owed €2-00 (petty charge and didn't leave me with a sense of good will). Now what really ticks me off is that I had stayed in the hotel a few weeks previously and had to pay a fee for parking after 12.00 (till 4pm =€8-00) and, this is what ticks me off, Miss grumpy was the same person who charged me the previous time and knew exactly when the charge was applied from that time. My first thoughts were 'fiddle'? who exactly is getting the 'excess parking charge...

The reception is bright and welcoming. I got a free upgrade to one of their new rooms. Very comfortable. Breakfast was self sevice and the food was fine. Hotel is near a major train station (no Noise heard) and is very close to The LUAS (a tram system ) which brings you into central Dublin) 20-25 mins walk. I was a single female staying alone and I felt secure in this hotel.

on arrival the girl at reception did not give the usual information freely, I had to ask where the lifts were to get to the rooms, she did not mention breakfast times, breakfast room location, all the other usual details etc. There were about 5 girls at reception at that time and I think I might have disturbed an interesting debate which is why the girl dealing with us did not have her mind on the job!! After that the stay was as expected, the rooms, bathroom were clean and the beds comfortable. I must say I experienced reception a few times after arrival and the the girls were more than helpful. I would stay there again, the location is excellent especially with the Luas line running outside which goes to the centre of the city and the O2

A little disappointed with this my second stay in the Ashling Hotel. Last time I was given a room at the front looking out onto the Liffey and the Guinnes brewery. Gorgeous newly renovated room with flat screeen TV etc. This time got a room at the back, orginal part of the hotel - very small and cold with a 12" portable TV! Dining room and bar area very nice though with nice cosy seating and fire in the bar area. Will go back but only if I can get a room at the front as the Ashling is so central and handy with the Luas passing the door.

The room was clean comfortable and bioth it and the bathroom were well appointed. My only criticism was that there was no decent lighting to put make up on! It was all down lighters The stafff very kindly brought me a table lamp to help with the proces. Breakfast was grand and the adjacent Luas- a God send

My mother and I stayed at this hotel, we arrived at the hotel at 12 noon and the reception staff were extremely helpful and gave us a room straight away. The room was lovely and all the staff very helpful and considerate. The convenience to the Luas and Heuston Station makes it easily accessable. We had lunch on arrival and food in the bar in the evening. The breakfast was very good a choice of everything. We checked out of the hotel and were able to leave the car in the carpark while we went shopping. There was no charge for the car which is great in a city where a lot of hotels sell cheap room and then charge nearly as much for the car. The rate was €75.00 bed and breakfassstay there again. The marble foyer was very impressive.

Stayed in old part this time - new part rooms are tiny. Room was good and pleasant - bar VERY expensive - glass of Jameson and glass of house red wine was €15.80!! Breakfast was plastic - cheap sausages, fried eggs that had been cooked for some time, no choice of fish - a kipper or small piece of plaice would have been nice. Need to buck themselves up!

I enjoyed my stay, even though it was only for one night. It was convenient for me, as I came on train for Cork. Also convenient to be in Dublin on the Sunday night as I had early meetings in Dublin on Monday morning. The room was nice, and it was great that there were tea and coffee making facilities there. Enjoyed good breakfast in the morning.

I stayed at the Aisling Hotel on Moday 14th September for the Coldplay concert in the Pheonix Park. Its location is excellent. We travelled by train. All we had to do was walk across the bridge to the front door of the hotel. And we walked to the concert also. It is a beautiful modern hotel. Beautiful foyer, restaurant, bar. Food was amazing. Loved the Caeser Salad. Staff were so nice and helpful. Couldn't do enough for us. Would recommend it to anybody and will stay there again.

We had a lovely time in the Ashling Hotel. The bedroom, bar and breakfast were all 1st class. We had a great lie in the following morning, there wasn't any noise to be heard. I would recommend the Ashling Hotel to anyone who wants a perfect stay in Dublin

Yes - very comfortable - have stayed here many times. Rooms always clean and sizable; breakfast (a good judge of a hotel) always well presented. Good value for money.

We were impressed with everything - bar/snack area, bedroom and bath/shower. Particularly impressed with breakfast - so often hotels let themselves down in this area - our only complaint is the hill that has to be climbed to get to the temporary entrance whilst refurbishment is being carried out.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I was in Dublin for a conference at the Law Society. The reception area was welcoming and the reception staff extremely friendly, polite and helpful. I had my evening meal and breakfast in the Bistro restaurant, the staff were exceptionally polite and service was excellent. The room was very clean with the usual comforts, the way a 4 star hotel room should be. Staff very extremely friendly. I had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Should I need to stay in Dublin again I would definately stay here again. Thank you for making my stay so pleasant.

Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Room was big enough and clean. Food in the Guinness Lounge was fantastic (especially the Irish Stew and Chicken Curry). Breakfast was nothing special, but sufficient - if we hadn't have had it included, I don't think we would have paid 12.50 euros each for it. Location was very good. Hop on hop off Dublin City Tours great for getting around and seeing everything. Nancy Hands pub, up the road from the hotel, was great - live music on Friday and Saturday, staff lovely, superb food - whether bar meal or restaurant.

the hotel is beginning to show its age, but the rooms were very clean. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. We had a very good breakfast. The hotel is very convenient for a trip to Dublin for shopping, theatre etc. I would definately recommedn this hotel to a friend and i will definately stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Aisling Hotel in Dublin. Room was plenty big for three. Staff very pleasant. Dinner was very good also. Dining room very warm though- far too hot in the morning. So handy for the Luas- will definitely stay again.
