"We enjoyed our stay at Maldron Hotel while on holidays in Dublin from Toronto. Our pre night had a wee mix up when we first arrived, but the front desk staff resolved it quickly for us. The breakfast every morning was fabulous, so many choices, and everything was delicious."

Ashling Hotel Dublin

Ashling Hotel Dublin

8/10 Good
"The staff was very helpful and friendly. The rooms and hallway were quiet, which I really appreciated. The bathroom is nice and big. Things that can be improved: There was tons of dust on the shelf above the bed and dust on the main table. There is no fridge or microwave in the room. Breakfast is the same food every day so if you're staying for a week, you'll get bored. There was no variety of meats available. You can eat pork or pork. That's it."
