Ashling Hotel Dublin

Ashling Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent
"When I am travelling abroad and if its Dublin Airport I am using I always use The Ashling Hotel as its right along side Heuston Station which I travel up to Dublin by train. Dublin Express has a coach stop infront of the station. I have been using The Ashling for years and I am very happy and have had great times over the years."
