The Merrion

We had a wonderful stay at The Merrion while celebrating our 10th anniversary. The hotel is beautiful, elegant, and incredibly comfortable, but what really stood out was the service. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome, and the thoughtful anniversary surprise was such a lovely touch. Our room was beautiful, the location was perfect for exploring Dublin, and every part of the stay felt polished without being stuffy. The Merrion helped make our anniversary trip feel especially memorable, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Great Room, staff and service. Definitely will return.

We had a lovely experience starting at the Merrion Hotel and working our way down the island. It was a great start to our trip.

I was extremely disappointed with our experience with The Merrion. We booked a stay for our wedding night as a special treat for our small city wedding. We requested an early check-in just one hour before the standard time so we could settle in before our ceremony without interrupting our wedding day. Instead of accommodating us or showing any flexibility, we were told we would have to pay for the entire previous night at an extra €700 (excluding breakfast) just to gain access 60 minutes early. For a five-star hotel, the lack of hospitality and flexibility was astonishing. We ended up booking another hotel just around the corner that went above and beyond to make our wedding day special.

I've stayed in the Merrion every year since 2019 as a treat and it is always something I look forward to. Everything about the hotel is top class. The staff are excellent and make you feel so comfortable. It has the best of old world hospitality and decor while still feeling modern. The breakfast is the best I have had anywhere in the world, one of the few 5 star hotels that have maintained that really high standard in my experience. Like everything, it has become even more expensive to stay here recently unless you book ludicrously far in advance but for me, it's worth it!
