Awesome and comfortable getaway
The room was amazing and so was the location. It's about a 25min walk to the center city which is not bad at all and it's right next to the Liffey. The attention was also great. I would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying again.

Great Location for Day Trips
This hotel is located slightly outside of Dublin center which meant it was quiet - we liked that. It is also located close to Heuston Rail Station which was perfect for earling morning starts on day trips to Galway and Cork. The Luas (local tram into Dublin center) is also located at this station. That made is convenient to get into town if you chose not to take the 15-20 minute walk. A taxi is between 8-10 Euro. There aren't many restaurants close to the hotel except for FX Buckley's which was very good and had a nice pub. Our room was a standard double bed room and it was fine. No comfortable chairs, no sheets - just a duvet covered with a sheet type cover. Stain on the ceiling but not a big deal since we spend little time in the room when we travel. We're also use to Marriotts so this was different for us. The staff was not very knowledgable about the area and not very willing to help although the desk was always fully staffed. Had to pay to use their computer which we weren't use to. The bathroom was clean but twice they only gave us one washcloth instead of two and once they didn't empty our clearly full garbage cans. All in all you get what you pay for and this was a good value.

When you're out for the day, try to eat dinner before going back to the hotel since there aren't many choices there.

Very good
Excellent hotel - served alcohol on Good Friday! Only slight issue was shower pressure and temperature (although during our stay Dublin City Council had imposed a water curfew so this most likely was the cause).

Couples city break.
We booked late only a few days before our arrival and due to the very cold weather we found our room to be quite cold. We explained this to the staff who were very friendly and helpful, and they upgraded us free of charge to a superior king room. The room was beautiful, very stylish and comfortable with great views. Although just out of temple bar/grafton street area, which is what we wanted, it is only a short walk away and the hotel is directly by the luas (tram) line which makes it easy to get around. The bus stops right outside the hotel And the hotel is across the road from the train station and the guiness storehouse! Breakfast in the Hotel is lovely! Would definitely stay here again!

Short walk from hotel
Red Hop on/Hop off bus stop across the street from this hotel, however, it is one of the last stops, so it took FOREVER for the first bus to arrive. We were told the first bus would get there by 9:30 am, and it didn't arrive until about 10:40. I would not recommend the hop on/ hop off from this location if you want to get anywhere in the morning. Also, at about 4:30 you can't get back on. For 52 euro for 3 of us, it would have been much cheaper, quicker, and more convenient to use taxis to get around Dublin!

Great location for a city break
A very convenient location for a city break! adjacent to the tram and buses, excellent bars and cafes nearby. Recently refurbished to a very high standard, the hotel very welcoming and kept very clean. Staff are very helpful, they successfully resolved an accidental double booking with the minimum of fuss. Highly recommended !

Nice stay
A tidy, modern hotel in a good location by tram (can be noisy) and Collins Museum (worth a look), close to river and Guinness Brewery. Bus stop for airport at station opposite. Friendly staff. I would stay there again

Collins Museum is great (5 minutes walk). A pint of Guinness in the Brazen Head (Upper Bridge Street - 15 minutes walk) is touristy but fun. Got thoroughly lost in hire car so take the bus from the airport!

Friendly Staff
Overall, this was a good hotel and a great hotel for families. It's a 20 minute walk to the City Center but you can catch the tram, which is about a 3 minute walk from the hotel. It's something to keep in mind if you enjoy walking around town and like to go back to your hotel for a break. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean. If I were to go back to Dublin, I'd probably pay more to stay at the Radisson or splurge on the Westbury Hotel.

If you are a vegetarian, the Cornucopia restaurant on Wicklow Street in Dublin is a great option. Traveling to other cities can be a challenge for vegetarians so it's great to find good restaurants like this one.

Short walk from hotel
guiness brewery is well worth a visit, even if you dont like the drink, its about £16 for adult but there is alot to do inside so you could spend a whole day there....cafes, bar and shop, and a 360 degree bar area on the 7th floor which gives a fantastic view over Dublin. You can also pull your own perfect pint in the guiness academy then drink it afterwards, well worth a visit.

Great location
We spent two nights at the Ashling Hotel but actually spent very little time in the hotel. It is within walking distance of the downtown sites in Dublin and also accessible on the red line bus tour. We had significant problems with the wifi connection in our room on the 4th floor - the hotel staff offered no solution nor any sort of apology for the situation other than suggesting we sit in the lobby where the reception is better - somewhat frustrating when almost every restaurant and pub in Dublin (and Ireland for that matter) has free and reliable wifi service.

easy to walk the 2-3 km to get to the sites in Dublin - once you are downtown - Temple Bar and Grafton Street are very interesting
