The hotel is nice. The beds are comfortable and the staff are very pleasant. The food in the restaurant was very good. However I was given a room at the front of the hotel. The rooms are not sound proofed so beware as it gets noisy outside from about 5am. My only real problem was the breakfast. I was charged €22 for cold hard eggs, cold sausages, overcooked hard inedible bacon. My advice don’t eat breakfast here.

As noted in my profile the need of an accessible room. My trip to The Ashling hotel was not accommodating after asking at check-in. We arrived ill from the UK. I Described our situation but no one took me seriously. Put my wife and I in a non accessible room with no help. They offered us no assistance nor help. My roots are from Ireland most recently my grandfather and I was there to find my family. I’ve saved for a number of years to go on this mission. I’m 68 years old and running out of time. Unfortunately got extremely ill and unable to do any recreational activities nor look for my grandfather. Spent the majority of 3 days in bed with no TV nor help to speak of. There was no hospitality at all. I used my $800.00 Cash Key credits I had saved for over 10 years only to be overcharged on nothing but an over marketed fake run down facility with no hospitality at all. Dressed up at a reception desk does not qualify for hospitality. Helping one another, making sure they are okay. Their stay is more than average, their needs are met, Instead crass ignorant comments were made to two seniors like-we are idiots. We’ve traveled with Hotels as I said from its conception. I’m begging Hotels.com to look up my account to verify. I honestly believe that The Ashling hotel new we were their using our credits and due to that gave us less than adequate service. It’s intolerable as I waited for a very long time to be able to make that trip. Please refund my $800.00 Cash Key.

The room was very good, roomy and clean. I gave 4 stars because the restaurant experience is very below average and very expensive with no service. Food was terrible, my seafood chowder was not chowder at all. It tasted like leftover from 3 or 4 days ago. If you stay there, don't eat there. The breakfast was fine with standard Irish breakfast items.

From the moment Ricardo greeted us at the front desk to the services he provided for taxis and information along with his colleague Javier, I knew we would feel at home. Breakfast daily with Juliana and Rachel as our hostesses was the icing on the proverbial cake. Variety! Cleanliness! Excellent service! Our last night, we enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Iveagh Bistro with Augustina as our server—also awesome! The bartender was either named Julie or Anna—I wished I recalled her name because she could not have made us feel more welcomed. Highly recommended!

Our room wasn't ready when we arrived so they substituded two rooms. Both were nice. We had an early morning, 6:30 appointment for a tour the next day and the clerk told us we needed to vacate our rooms and they would hold our luggage. This was on the way out the door. With some negotiation they allowed us to move that night instead.

This hotel was fine. It was quite a bit further from everything than we were expecting. There were just a few places to eat up the street. The front desk staff was fine but not especially friendly or helpful. And maybe this is an American thing, but when they say toiletries provided, especially at a hotel in this price range, there is more than just soap and shampoo. I expected at the very least (and did not bring) conditioner and lotion. Overall, it was fine, but I wouldn't stay there again.

Convenient and comfortable

The breakfast is a buffet that costs €22.50 per person so we skipped it and there was no menu offered.
The beds were comfortable but the room was hot and window only opens about an inch.
We had to call for housekeeping services.
Convenient location at Heuston so trains and buses are a step away. We also bought the Hop on/Hop off bus tour at the front desk, there is a stop right outside the hotel.
Guinness factory right across the river so you can smell the hops brewing!

The staff was nice, although we requested our room to be cleaned and it wasn’t. The breakfast was a good European buffet.
The location left something to be desired. While it was right across the river from Guiness, most of what we would have liked to do was more in the center of Dublin’s tourist area by Trinity College. We did use their Tram system- Luas which dropped us close to our destination but still quite a walk from there.
There wasn’t much else that was convenient near this hotel. The tram or taxi or goodfree app was necessary to get around.

We arrived around 3:30 and our room was not ready. We waited about 25 minutes for it to be cleaned then were given the key. The room was quite large and spacious including the bathroom. It smelled strongly of disinfectant but it may have been because it was just cleaned. The parking garage is very small and tight but convenient to the hotel. Breakfast was good. I would stay here again if visiting Dublin.

Not as great as it used to be

Rooms no longer have bottles of water and reception wont provide them, they used to give me a few to fill my CPAP machine. If you want to make tea or coffee in the room you now need to use bathroom water or get dressed head down the hall and find the water machine. It wasnt next to the lift on the 3rd floor like it is on some of the other floors so i had to go to reception floor with a kettle in my hand as i dont know if the bathroom water is suitable for drinking, probably not. I also needed to fill my cpap machine. Its a bit off putting tbh. I get trying to be greener but this is not making my stay better.

I have been staying here on and off for work and personal for 7 years and slowly all the comforts of this hotel are being taken away. The beds are now so uncomfortable and hard. I literraly woke up with cramps and couldn't get a good nights sleep.

My wife has now said she wants to find another hotel for our nights away.

The hotel’s staff are top-notch, the room was clean and comfortable and the lobby was gorgeous. There is dining on the main level, and after we returned one evening to find only the bar open so late, we ordered a fantastic pizza from room service that arrived quickly and really hit the spot!

The location is excellent for catching either a bus or tram. Heuston Station is right outside, so it’s an ideal spot for picking up transportation. I suggest walking on the south side of the Liffey at night, though, since the north side is kind of an isolated stretch.

We have the Ashling in our crosshairs for our visit again next year!

Had a room on the first floor facing the street which was noisy. No explanation by the staff on how to get through locked doors to access the rooms by the staff it was only thanks to another guest that we found out. Convention at the time on the first floor made for a rather squashed access to rooms.
Positives were the room was a good size and the breakfast was lovely. Easy location from Huston station so catching the bus from the airport is a breeze. However apart from the station and the Guinness tour there’s not much in the area and it’s out of the city centre.

We chose the Ashling as our last minute find because we needed an available two bed option for the weekend. We had a twin bed room that was surprisingly spacious, although a twin bed is a twin bed and is pretty narrow no matter how big the room is. The shower was a little rough in our room - basically very small and just a curtained area in the middle of the room so make sure to get plenty of extra towels for the floor in the aftermath. The hairdryer was really a push button toy with a cord that wasn't long enough to use it properly, but if you need it, you need it and work with what you've got. Location wise, this property is in a quieter part of the city near transportation (bus, trolly, and taxis) but it is a bit of walk into the heart of Dublin (at least a half an hour) and can get a bit arduous later at night when you're having to walk alongside a large empty park or a railway area. If you want to be closer to Temple Bar and the main attractions in the heart of the city, this isn't really your best option. However, the staff was great and the food decent (had breakfast only) and it's very close to the Guinness factory. They were also nice enough to give us a call when our room was ready a little before official check-in which is always appreciated when you've been traveling all day to get there. Overall a good experience and a solid choice for a stay around Dublin.

This is the ideal location if you are planning rail trips to most locations in the west of Ireland. You can arrive across the street from the rail station on Dublin Express for a modest fee compared to a $60 Uber Taxi ride. This hotel is a short five minute walk from the station.
