Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The best manager I have ever met in the Ashling hotel. Uboldo is absolutely amazing.

The Manager NAME is Uboldo he is absolutely amazing, the room we were booked into was to close to the of the hotel which was very noisy because of the kitchen. I reluctantly called reception as I have a hospital appointment in the morning the 1st of November Ubaldo came up to our room and could understand why I wouldn't be able to sleep, he went above and beyond the duty of care he tried 3 different rooms to get 1 suitable for me which I greatly appreciate.I will look forward to our next stay in the Ashling hotel because of him.I just wanted the Hotel to recognise the amazing Manager they have. Thank you Ubaldo you are so kind and understanding and at total gentleman.

This place was far too expensive for what was on offer. Although it was clean, the TV didn't work and the room was too pokey for a family. Too far out of town, very basic accommodation, shared bathroom. It was sold to me as a B&B yet on arrival we were told there was no breakfast! There are places in the heart of Dublin that offer you much more for your Euro.

Shabby

Looks good from the outside but that's where it ends. Top attic room, shower was no more than a good dribble and went from warm to really hot in a cycle....taps on sink spun around when turned on/off...the sink was so small it was impossible to fill the kettle so had to decant using a cup from tap to the kettle..The long fanlight window was strongly sprung so i had to climb onto the window sill to pull window closed and the handles were loose...There were lots of stains on the carpet and the decor was generally shabby. The TV was angled down towards the floor and the remote control was so sticky and greasy I had to disinfect it with several wetwipes. However, on the 1 plus the bed was comfortable and the bedding clean. Poor customer service on arrival, booking couldn't be found, and then just pointed up to my room and told to leave the key in the room when I left in the morning.. Sorry very poor and not worth the money...…

buisness overnight

Adequate and basic- no breakfast so why name B and B ?(misleading) Premise was clean and tidy but impersonal, lacking any decor- Absolutely overpriced for what you got- Someone is milking this premise !!

Nice locale

This was a nice reprieve from the hassle of big name hotels. The rooms were tastefully decorated, with charm and inviting personalities. It was centrally located and the host was very accommodating. I was centrally located and offers access to a number of sights...

A B&B without breakfast

A B&B without breakfast, quite disapointed. The house is on a very busy road and the room is noisy when the window is open. The room is small (quite clean though), no computer desk or chairs. However, a toaster and a fridge are available in the common room.

Beautiful Hotel - Could be closer to Attractions

The hotel is beautiful. We had lunch in the Iveagh Bar. The food was good. Service could have been better. We had 3 different wait staff. Seemed like they weren’t sure who’s table we were at. We also had lunch in the Chesterfield Restaurant. It was kind of confusing as it’s like a cafeteria food choices but service at the table too. Food choices good and the food was excellent! The main level is air conditioned but rooms are not. Most of the time this wouldn’t matter but we were there during a heat wave and it was hot! Thankfully there was a fan. The room was very clean. Sufficient towels. Free bottled water daily was very much appreciated. Also a tea pot with either coffee or tea. Says centrally locates. However, we walked over 20-30 minutes or more to get anywhere we wanted to tour. The tram is right outside and there also the on and off bus as well as taxis. We preferred to walk. Overall a very nice hotel in a very quiet neighborhood. I would recommend this for your stay in Dublin!…

Dissapionting

Whilst the room was small it was clean and quite adequate, however my booking was for a b&b (bed & breakfast) whilst I did not have breakfast on my booking I wrongly assumed that breakfast would be available for an extra charge. Until I arrived and saw a sighn saying We Do Not Do Breakfast. So in my opinion it should not be called a b&b it should simply be call ed bed, and that is all I got the tv was very old and did not work, was unable to find snyone to let them know, the backnof the remote controll was missing exposing two very old leaking batteries

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

Where do I begin?!? Stayed here for two nights in a small single room. Bed seemed clean and well as bathroom. Room was covered in cobwebs and found a lovely (yuck) large black spider crawling on me one night when I using my phone in the dark! Cups and glasses were dirty with dust in them. Would not use them at all. Room was cold until the hearing came on and the provided electric heater shuts on and off after a few minutes. NO BREAKFAST!! Plenty of other b n bs next door and a short distance away to stay in. Bathroom was tiny!! Could barely turn around. Only saw staff on check in when I needed to pay up front and didn’t see them since. You leave your key on the desk when checking out. Would absolutely not stay here again. Walls are paper thin, windows thin so you hear traffic noise. Towels clean though with a mint on arrival. Nice touch but that’s all that was nice. Very over priced! Never again. …
