Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel stands out for its prime, tranquil location that's still close to attractions, which many travelers appreciate. While the hotel's service garners compliments for professionalism and warmth, some guests have encountered slow responses.
Despite the modern and luxurious atmosphere, there are concerns about value, with several travelers deeming it overpriced. However, the high cleanliness standards and praised amenities, including the spa and dining options, contribute to the hotel's allure, although room maintenance has received some criticism.

Stayed here two nights, the night before and of our wedding. We were so impressed with the hotel from the moment we walked in, it is most definitely a 5 star hotel. Staff were lovely and very helpful. The door had a sticker on it to say the room had been cleaned and disinfected, it is definitely the cleanest hotel I’ve ever been to. I was so impressed with the carpet especially, it was one solid colour which usually shows up dirt easily but it was absolutely spotless. There was a sweet treat waiting for us in the room to celebrate our marriage which was lovely. Bed was super comfy and the bathroom was huge, it was fabulous and had lots of counter space. We ordered breakfast to the room and it was delicious both mornings, I wish I got the name of the young Middle Eastern man who brought our breakfast to the room on the second morning as he went above and beyond checking that we had everything we could need for breakfast. We had dinner in the hotel both nights, very attentive staff and great food. Special mention to Monika who was very attentive and pleasant, she brought us out a dessert to celebrate our marriage which was lovely and unexpected. Salich actually served us both evenings, once in the bar and the other on the rooftop, he was lovely too. We asked for a bucket of ice both nights and we received them within 10 mins each time. We parked our car in the underground car park which was only accessible via a door around the corner outside the hotel but it was easy to get the ticket validated by reception and then just paid on checkout. On checkout Caitriona was very friendly and ensured to check on how our stay was. We’ll definitely be back for our first anniversary, if not before!

I've stayed all over the world in the greatest hotels the world has to offer and this one is up there with the very best, not because the facility itself is GREAT, whilst it is very good, shiny, modern, new, full featured & carefully thought out - it's the people that make this place work so well.
It's pricy, you can see that but nobody ever made me feel anything less than fully properly welcome. Whoever's running this place is terrific at getting the best out of their people, they all seem to honestly care about service and they have achieved something truly special. From the guy who welcomed us at the door and took our car, to the check in lady, to the guy who took us to our room, the girl who brought room service, the waiters at breakfast, then the guy who, at check out, got us takeaway coffee to go, I never felt anything less than wholly cared for by everyone I interacted with. This is powerful, worth the money & something that even the best hotels frequently get wrong. If the folks working there don't really care, then it doesn't matter how much marble you put in the bathroom, your stay will be compromised. Not here.
We had a night to kill between shows and needed a quiet, relaxing night off and that's what we got. The room has everything, it was a good size, the bathroom was spectacular, great coffee machine.
I would probably say they could use bigger towels, but they do provide dressing gowns which is ace. Another request would be firmer pillows, but I never asked and my guess is that if we had, they would have sent us what we needed, so I feel a bit bad complaining, which i'm not, really - just suggesting that in Asia, top flight hotels provide a pillow menu which i reckon is a thing the Marker could bring to Dublin!
We intended to use the spa but never did, we had to work anyway and ran out of time, but i'm certain it would be spectacular too like the rest of the place. It's in the middle of Dublin, there's loads of great pubs & places to eat nearby and I would jump at the chance to go back, if I can afford it.
Whoever is the manager of the staff I mentioned, please thank those people for me, they do you proud and I hope you can continue to provide such a high quality service. Thanks!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Off the bat I’ll start by saying the only negative thing about this hotel is that it’s a bit far away from central Dublin (Grafton St is a good 25 mins walk away) but we did walk it a couple of times in dry weather.
Aside from this, what an absolutely lovely hotel. We arrived mid to late morning on Friday and had a super warm welcome from the doorman Kevin. Our room was already ready for us which was brilliant so we could check in immediately. Throughout our stay everyone we encountered was unfailingly polite and helpful.
The room was spacious, the bathroom amazing. One point about the bathroom was the under floor heating was almost scaldingly hot so we had to be mindful to turn it down or it ended up being far too hot in there! The shower was great, bath likewise. All lovely. In room iron and hairdryer (and normally in hotels the hairdryer is always rubbish but this was a proper one). Turn down service was lovely, in the evening the room was left beautifully tidy and chocolates left on the bed.
Breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever seen in a hotel - the buffet was fresh and plentiful plus you had a range of a la Carte options to choose from too. Really impressed.
We used the spa when the weather drove us indoors and that was also one of the best I’ve visited. We didn’t have any treatments as they were fully booked but we used the pool, jacuzzi etc and it was clean and had a touch of luxury about it.
I would strongly recommend anyone to stay here - locally there’s not much around other than offices (Facebook, Google, various banks) but if you don’t mind a long walk or a 10 minute cab ride (which varied between €6-12) then this is definitely the best option...even the taxi drivers remarked what a lovely hotel it is!

Wow! What a stay we had at this fabulous hotel. So many hotels sell themselves on “authentic hospitality” and “local knowledge” but The Marker team really have this down to a T. From our first welcome from the doorman to our early AM check out with the night porter, the warm and friendly service was incredible.
Highlights include the beautiful spa, definitely book a treatment of you have time, I see why the spa have won so many awards, my massage and facial we’re among the best I’ve had. We used the gym and swam daily too, so nice to have state of the art facilities on your doorstep. Breakfast was also lovely, every morning the staff were warm and attentive and service for items ordered from the kitchen was very slick. The rooms themselves are very spacious, especially the bathroom which had a separate bath and shower (we booked an entry level room). Nice to have much needed touches like usb charging points by the bed and a well stocked mini bar. The only tiny improvement I could suggest is a Bluetooth speaker (although the TV had a good library of music).
The ground floor bar served excellent food and drinks, service was also impeccable and the fact it was so busy with locals was also testament to its quality.
The local area is lovely, some really nice bars/restaurants right on your doorstep or you can easily walk (20 mins) or taxi into the city centre (about 12 euros).
Finally, we have to thank the wonderful concierge team. We arrived in Dublin with no plans and trusted them work our dinner reservations which were on point every night. I work in the luxury hotel industry myself and can be lovely hard to please but I cannot stop talking about our amazing stay. Thank you so much for helping these burnt out parents relax and re-charge, we are already planning our next trip!

We stayed for a saturday night in January to celebrate a birthday - first of all Kenneth on the door gave us such a warm friendly welcome he helped us organise our luggage, took our car away, showed us to our room and even hung up our coats he was such a star and set such a high standard of service within the first few minutes it was clear he is great at his job, he seemed to remember alot of people by name wishing them a good morning and good evening each time they passed.
when checking in we were told we had access to the spa until 3pm the next day, which is a huge plus! most hotels dont allow for this! we opted for an upgrade to 4th floor which was well worth it- we had a floor to ceiling window with great views! the room was cosey with under floor heating and the bathroom was massive with a rain shower and huge big bath tub. the dressing gowns were fluffy and cosey, we had a bottle of fresh "Oscar Wilde" bottled water and a fantastic choice of teas and coffees, especially decaff as I cannot overdo it on the caffeine.
After check in we went to the bar for drinks and some casual food, all were of fantastic standard and again the service of staff was exceptional.
The next morning we did not opt for breakfast but hit the spa - it was quite, tranquil and absolutley spotless! it was a real dream and I will consider returning for the spa alone!

We visit Dublin regularly and decided to use the Marker for the first time due to its location in the harbour area. The hotel is modern and high quality fittings and furnishings Nice and open and bright Our room of 35m2 is really nice with a view and comfortable furnishings Lovely breakfast with good a la carte choices plus an extensive buffet selection. Staff are all pleasant and professional- obviously well trained Considering the breakfast included the room prices are quite reasonable. Only quibble was in a half empty hotel due to the virus situation they want to charge us E40 an hour for a late check out. Lost a few points with that. We will check out tomorrow on time ...

We have stayed at the marker several times and it never fails us. From booking the hotel maintained excellent communication and organised car parking at the hotel. Throughout the hotel they have went above expectation on covid controls with floor markings, sanitiser and screens throughout. Staff are wearing masks or visors which makes you feel safe. I thought the individual guest packs of masks and sanitiser a fantastic idea. The room had a seal sticker on the door post sanitising. We had a lovely upgrade with a view over grand canal square. The spa was well organised and you need to book your time slot. The max occupancy was well planned and we felt comfortable in the area. We had dinner in the hotel both evenings and service was great. The prawn and chilli pasta could have had more chilli and lemon and the curry could have had more spice. Just personal preference perhaps but would make these really delicious. We had room service breakfast and service was wonderful with staff in PPE coming to the room. We enjoyed our late checkout and we look forward to returning to the marker really soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

'Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do" Walt Disney- I recently stayed for a mid week break with my two daughters. The staff at this spotlessly clean hotel managed to create the most relaxing atmosphere while implementing extremely hygienic processes ensuring the safety of all. Within minutes of arriving at the hotel we started to relax. Check in was seamless and we were provided with all the information we needed to make sure our stay was memorable. We were shown to our stunning room (again spotless with hygiene seals), settled in and then headed to the spa. It was hard to believe that we were in the city centre - the world outside drifted by, while we emmersed ourselves into total relaxation. We dined in the Marker Bar and sampled some sensational cocktails! The menu was perfect for us and the addition of the Equilibrium menu (tasty healthy options) we were all very happy! We headed to our room where housekeeping had provided a turn down service. We sunk into the most comfortable beds and slept soundly with the added luxury of 'fresh air' air conditioning. While we normally love a hotel buffet breakfast, the table service of all the delicious options did not disappoint. The staff here are exceptional and created a memorable experience for us. We will be back and because they did it so well, we will bring others with us!

Really enjoyed our stay at The Marker. The staff were incredible. At a time when people are unsure if they should travel in their own country, the staff went out of their way to make the experience really enjoyable. From the room service staff, the rooftop bar and check in. It'll be each of those staff that'll help the hotel survive in a time of uncertainty. I hope this is recognised by the owners and management of the hotel. Your staff are the reason you'll continue to have guests come back. One stand out Darragh really done everything he could to make sure our stay was comfortable and secure. I'd like to thank Darragh for making our first trip away in a long time one to remember. You're a credit to the hotel. It had been our first time out since March and his patience and guidance to help with the procedures gave a seamless transition to the "" New normal". The sanitizer stations were frequent and staff very well practiced with visors and you could see too they made frequent use of the sanitisation which was great to see. Food in the rooftop bar was excellent with everybody well spaced out. The pool is large and well kept with a great time slot space. This actually works really well as you can plan your day knowing the time you can go down. Booking process was simple and well explained by staff. The only thing we'd ask if there could be a way to leave gratituity for staff like the porters, in room service and cleaning staff. We've not used cash in a few months but wanted to thank them. Thank you again to the Marker for our great stay. We will be back again!

Things didn't go well from the start at this hotel. Firstly we had to lap the hotel to get a space at the front for the valet to collect the car. Check in was slow but as the receptionist was a trainee this was fine. Went to our room to await our luggage - 30 minutes later no signof our bags and I didn't have much time to get ready for a show we were to see. Tried to ring reception only to be placed on hold for over 5minutes. Gave up and went down to be told the luggage was on the way, which we knew was a lie as ours was on the same cart as my parents luggage which they had received some time before. On the way back to our room we meet another guest carrying our bag down to reception- it had been put in the wrong room, luckily of somebody trustworthy. At dinner our party were seated at a low coffee table for dinner in the bar area which made for a very uncomfortable experience. Food was ok but not 5 star standard. After the show we come back to the bar and order a round of drinks from the waitress. After 20 minutes we had to enquire where these drinks were. Myself and my mother ordered 2 Hendricks gin. When it arrived we could taste that it was not Hendricks but drank it anyway as it had taken so long to arrive in the first place. Waitress takes another half hour to come back with the bill for the round at which time the gins were drank and we discover to our shock that they had taken it upon themselves to give us 2 monkey 47 gins at a total of €35 for the 2 drinks. Disgusting carry on and left an extremely sour taste at the end of the night. Out of a party of 6 that stayed not one of us would return, there are far better hotels in Dublin than this "5*" establishment. The extremely comfy bed and beautiful bathroom were the only saving graces of what otherwise was comedy of errors from start to finish.

Dear Ms/Mr. Carmel,
Thank you for contacting Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel in regards to your query above.
In order to get to the hotel from the airport, you can go directly by taxi, which has a cost of 30-40 euros to the city. Also, you can go by bus, Aircoach company has buses from 8-9 euros to the city center and also to Cardiff Lane which is right across the hotel entrance.
Please do not hesitate to contact the hotel if you would like to check the prices for private transfers.
Should I be of further assistance, please let me know.
