I took my sister for the dine and dream package to The merrion for her birthday on the 5 th of may. From the mOment we arrived everything was perfect. We were met by the door staff who valet parked our car and took our luggage. Reception welcomed me back to the merrion, a nice touch to acknowledge returning customers.... More

Stayed on an overnight in Dublin. Fantastic staff, spacious room, great dinner and breakfast. Wish we could visit more often. The rooom had everything you could possibly want. The inner courtyard with its water feature is so calming, you wouldn't think you were in the middle of a city and the paintings hanging all aroud the public areas are not... More

From business to weddings, the Merrion is incredible. The hotel is beautiful and the artwork something else. The food is no slouch either! However, it is the STAFF that makes this hotel what it is. The service is highly professional yet genuinely friendly and welcoming with an easygoing twist. You feel so welcome here. Other top hotels take note!! No... More

As soon as we pulled up, the Valet said, "Welcome, to The Merrion, we'll take care of everything." At the front desk, the Clerk was so welcoming & gave us a tour of the entire property. Our room was not quite ready, so we sat in the garden / courtyard area (which is beautiful) and had a drink & a... More

We stayed for our anniversary and want to go back next year! The hotel is an elegant Georgian house in the city centre, close to Stephen's Green and Grafton Street. Service is charming, genuinely warm and friendly and guests' names are used at all time. We relaxed in the spacious and well decorated room, overlooking a beautiful courtyard. The bed... More

Excellent hotel - service, comfort, dining, ambiance. The staff were uniformly pleasant and responsive; the in-room and dining room meals were very good; and the room was clean and comfortable, though a bit small. I would say that dinner at the Merrion's neighbour (and linked through a joining door) Patrick Guillard restaurant wasn't as great as its 2 Michelin stars... More

I have had afternoon tea at the Merrion on 2 separate occasions this year and each time thoroughly enjoyed the day. The service is exceptional - you do not have to even look for your tea to be topped up! It comes in 2 courses - a tray of sandwiches, cakes, scones, madeira cake etc first and then the 2nd... More

Staying at the Merrion Hotel in Dublin was like visiting a rich aunt and being pampered by family retainers! The staff were more than helpful in arranging limo pickup at the airport and a private tour of the city. The public rooms of the hotel have a comfortable understated elegance and the service is superb. Our room was spacious and... More
