Favourite hotel in Dublin. Staff are courteous, attentive, friendly and yet discreet. Main lounge area is beautiful, subtle and understated and full of art to admire. Very convenient (5 minutes walk from Grafton Street) to best shopping and entertainment in Dublin. Thoroughly recommend. Have spent several very enjoyable, relaxing weekend breaks in Merrion and will continue to return. More

There is something very special about staying and relaxing in grand ancient and luxurious rooms of a true Old Dublin Residence. Restored so gracefully, American visitors will tell you in detail about this fantastic experience but really its a pleasure us Irish should avail of more. The Merrion offers all that is wonderful about Dublin hospitality. More

For 25 years I stayed yearly at the Shelborne Hotel Dublin.A few years ago an American chain took over management of the Shelborne and I decided to change my allegiance. How glad I was that I found the Merrion for this hotel not only fulfills my present wishes and wants but maintains that irish feel which is so special.The accents... More

Eventhough I am a Marriott rewards member my choice of hotel in Dublin is not the Shelbourne but is always, without fail, The Merrion Hotel. Despite my numerous stays I have always left with total satisfaction. The quality and professionalsim of the service, food, accommodation is always second to none. No business is 100% perfect and on the very, very... More

Traveled to Dublin on a family vacation late December 2011. There were 18 of us total! I found The Merrion absolutely delightful and really can't think of anything I didn't like. Felt very comfortable away. Literally, we arrived off a very early flight and had to wait a short amount of time for a room to be ready so my... More

This was our second stay at The Merrion. The staff are great, the common rooms comfortable and relaxing; the Cellar Bar a treat. This time we had lunch in the Cellar bar, it was small but very tasty! The cocktail bar is relaxing but has limited seating. As you would expect, drink prices are very high…. Our luggage awaited us... More

Amazing hotel. After a very long and disrupted flight it was really great to enter the Merrion Hotel. The staff is probably one the best I have ever encountered so far in hotels around the world. They always politely offer their help and advice, they are able to engage in a conversation in a very polite and sincere manner...really amazing.... More

The Merrion has the best reviews and best reputation locally and so we chose this and it does not disappoint on any level. Subtle yet attentive service, two great restaurants (one with a Michelin star was closed over new year sadly) a lively cellar bar and a dlightful sitting room/tea area/lobby all make for a perfect mix. Add to that... More

A stay at The Merrion is an experience worth the money although it really is very pricey. Ireland, especially Dublin isn´t exactly an inexpensive place anyway and this hotel belongs to the "Leading Hotels of the World" so expect to pay a high price. We chose one of the smaller rooms, and the size of the room and bathroom was... More
