Dublin's ibis hotel receives well deserved praise for amazing gesture they made for Muslim man fasting for Ramadan

A Dublin hotel has received some well deserved praise for a lovely gesture they made for a guest.

The ibis hotel at Red Cow was approached by a Muslim customer who was fasting for Ramadan.

The man requested a snack from the hotel before they began the ritual fast, and the hotel said they would be happy to help and asked the guest to come downstairs from their room at 2.30am.

Not only did they fulfill the request, they went above and beyond for the man, who discovered there was an entire breakfast buffet laid out for him.

"He was the only person there. Humanity is still alive amidst all the hatred."

The tweet has since received thousands of retweets and likes, with many commenting on how kind the hotel's response was to the man.
