Top East Coast and Midlands Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport

Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport

8/10 Good

"There was no alternative to the much to stuff pillow. I like choices…need much less filling and the mattress was hard. But the room was nicely appointed, clean, quiet and staff friendly. Nice shower with double head. So close to airport one does not need the bus but if you do, they add a van to make sure everyone gets there on time."

Ashling Hotel Dublin

Ashling Hotel Dublin

10/10 Excellent

"We always enjoy coming to the Ashling when in Dublin. The staff was super helpful, especially when this time traveling with an infant. We were able to be checked in early and room was always well taken care of. Close to the Dublin Zoo, Jameson Bow Street, and with easy access to Hueston Station and Luas, puts the Ashling in a great location. And the Iveagh Bar is a nice place to relax with a drink at the end of the day."
