Ashbourne House Hotel (Ashbourne, Ireland)

The hotel is very close to many area attractions and shops. It is a nice place to stay just outside of Dublin without having to deal with the crowds of the city. Guests commented on its proximity to the hill of Tara and other famous sites in the area.

Most guests agreed that each room was cleaned fairly well. You can expect a clean, comfortable bed to sleep in when you stay. The cleaning staff always has a kind word for guests and takes care of any issues right away.

Guests almost universally agree that The Loft, which is the hotel's in house restaurant, serves up fantastic meals. They also commented that they enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and the waitstaff is efficient, as well as friendly. They feature traditional Irish fare, as well as Mediterranean foods.

Many guest commented that the bathrooms themselves are small, dark, have outdated fixtures, and occasionally lack hot water in the showers and taps. Tiles are often in sore need of attention.

Guests overwhelmingly agree that, although The Loft restaurant in the hotel serves excellent meals later in the day, the complimentary breakfasts at the hotel leave a lot to be desired. Only the most basic items are offered, with no variation from one day to the next.

A lot of guests have commented that the hotel has a general feel of incompleteness regarding simple maintenance tasks, such as changing light bulbs. Broken televisions, heating units, and other room items have also been reported as dismal by more than one guest who have stayed at the hotel.
