“Very nice hotel and good location”

Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

Our stay at the Merrion was very nice. The room was spacious and clean. We ate dinner and breakfast there, both of which were very good. The lobby and buildings themselves were sophisticated and the patio garden was lovely. Overall, everything you would expect from a top tier hotel. Nothing extraordinary or surprising, but everything expected for the price. The... More

“Four and a half stars really - but benefit of doubt given!”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Stayed here for 4 nights over the Amlin-Heineken Cup Final weekend as it is our long weekend away with friends and away from the kids. We have a once a year "blow out" - so we had high hopes. Generally, all very, very good. One small fly in the ointment. It is the little things that make a good hotel... More

“Fabulous place, really enjoyed the top notch service”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

We have Irish roots, and wanted to spend a long weekend just visiting Dublin. We chose The Merrion over The Shelbourne, after some long TripAdvisor research. Here are our comments after the real life experience. The Merrion is well situated, similar to The Shelbourne, but The Merrion is very quiet and relaxing. We often ended our day with a glass... More

“Top notch hotel in all aspects”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW via mobile

A weekend in Dublin, hotel booked a long time in advance, we expected a lot, it more than delivered. This is a quite superb hotel from start to finish. Initial greeting by liveried doormen, very friendly check in, rooms well furnished and equipped, with space to relax. At all times the staff were friendly and keen to assist. Service of... More

“Absolutely the right choice”

I cannot rate The Merrion highly enough. Booked a one night seven star steal package (includes dinner at Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud) for my husband's thirtieth. When we booked in we were told we had been upgraded to a suite - which was absolutely gorgeous and bigger than our flat. Champagne arrived shortly thereafter together with a lovely little cake with... More

“heavenly”

Reviewed 16 May 2013

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...
