Top Ashford Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel & Leisure Centre Tallaght

Maldron Hotel & Leisure Centre Tallaght

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was fantastic, we stayed in the executive room, The big bed was nice and comfortable. The room was clean and tidy, housekeeping was everyday. The staff were super friendly and very helpful but I would like to say that one of the evening staff in the bar/restaurant went above and beyond and that was Rodrigo . The food was amazing and the breakfast I could not fault, a very good choice and we were very happy. You are close to transport links, both bus and tram options are close by,"

"The hotel was nice and the staff friendly. The only issue was that the TV kept buffering. We were offered an alternative room, but it was late and chose not to move."

The Martello Hotel

The Martello Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"“Apartment” was totally undersold! Amenities included hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle and adequate pots, crockery and cutlery. Also a washing machine, iron and ironing board. Everything to make it fully self catering if required. Surprisingly, in our experience, bins were emptied and fresh towels provided each day. Bed linen also changed mid way through our 4 night stay. Lounge sparsely furnished but this was to allow room for 2 fold down beds so that apartment could sleep 4. TV in lounge and in bedroom. Brilliant!"
