Ashling Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent hotel. I can usually find SOMETHING to complain about, but I am hard pressed. Loved the location, walkable to everything but less busy area. Staff friendly and helpful at front desk, restaurant as well as a smiling doorman and cleaners who were careful to keep us stocked on towels, tea etc even when we declined to have our room serviced. Wonderful breakfast, comfy room with plenty of storage. Okay, only complaint is lack of fan in bathroom which always steamed up during showers. Otherwise, really a great stay."
