This is a magical quiet low key elegant hotel beautifully serene and beautiful. Set in a stunning location central to everything. It is quite unique, Dublins version of The Connaught, Claridges of London or indeed, The Carlisle in New York . Unlike its flamboyant competitors in the city, there are no buses whizzing past, people wanting to be seen. Famous... More

Bizarre/interesting/great hotel: VERY unassuming (ugly?) from the street, but once you're in the door: woohoo! - Great location near Park - Mediocre shower pressure (although colleague had better so it might be room dependant) - crap view from window (ground level) - great pub in basement - beautiful/original/cozy/idiosyncratic lobby/lounge with fireplace and nice old furniture - great service/staff - great...

My husband and I stayed here and it was really good, the room was really nice and the bed was huge. The mini bar was really well stocked and reasonably priced. They had a turn down service which was lovely. We had breakfast delivered and it was very good. The cellar bar is a really nice bar with very good... More

The Merrion Hotel is in a perfect Dublin location. It is a 5-15 minute walk to nearly every site you'd want to see there - Grafton Street, Guinness Store, Trinity College, Temple Bar area and tons more. The concierge, bell and front desk staff at the hotel are top notch. The rooms are fairly standard but well equipped. Wi-Fi is... More

The Merrion is a lovely hotel. However, it is ridiculously overpriced. The rooms are adequate. The staff is half delightful and half snobby and there is a lack of warmth that permeates. The best way to describe the feeling is that I am doing them a favor by staying here. Nothing overt, but an underlying snobbism. Let's face it, at... More

From the moment we stepped up to the entrance, we were greeted by friendly staff throughout the hotel at all times. Our room was beautiful. Decor is traditional, which I prefer to the stark, cold contemporary design found in so many hotels now. Every detail was thought of, down to the robes, slippers, turn-downs, quality of bath amenities, and even... More

Just stayed at the Merrion and it is a really nice hotel in a great location, with very attentive staff. We were however unlucky when eating a seafood platter in the cellar bar. My crab mayonnaise salad had shell in it and I broke my tooth, ending up at a dentist Saturday night instead of an evening out. Ruined the... More

We recently returned from a trip to the UK and Ireland. We were fortunate to have chosen The Merrion Hotel to stay in while in Dublin for 2 days although other properties had been recommended. This was by far the finest hotel we stayed in during our trip. The hotel is very centrally located. The hotel, rooms and all facilities... More

Trying to book 3 rooms for next Tuesday night, receptionist told me she could not do this and put me through to a central call centre, I had to wait about 7 minutes to be spoken to. Then the man on the other end of the phone couldn't understand the name of the hotel and asked me to spell it,... More
