The Merrion

Just a great experience. Superb staff, great food, and relaxing comfortable lounges. A quiet haven in the centre of the city.

The location of the hotel is great, walking distance to everything, restaurants bars and most of the sightseeing place, yet in a rather quiet street with no heavy traffic. We stayed for 8 nights at the hotel and we loved. It’s very cozy and beautiful. The garden gives you an easy access to take a fresh breath. And in winter time, there is blanket and heating in the garden. Room is spacious. We stayed at the garden wing suit. Perfect for three of us. Restaurants and bars are all very beautiful and the food and drinks are very good. Highly recommend!

Wow ! We so much enjoyed our three day stay at the Merrion. This is a place where the staff really care about you. The sense of attention to detail is amazing. The beautiful red brick hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Dublin. From the moment you arrive, you are made to feel special. Our room was not ready so we had a delicious club sandwich in the bar. The wall paper, carpets and sofas are lovely. Our room was in the more modern part situated in the back. Very quiet and cozy. A huge bed. I can’t think of anything negative to say about the Merrion. We had dinner in the two hotel restaurants and they were excellent. Once we had breakfast in our room and it was great. My husband swam in the pool and loved it. I was given a Merrion bookmark, a Merrion cloth for my glasses , delicious chocolates. The bathroom is spotless and comfortable. The staff is so welcoming. We can’t wait to come back !

By far the best hotel in Dublin. The location is perfect, in the heart of the nicest part of the city. The building is wonderful, historic yet warm and comfortable. But it is the staff who make the experience of the Merrion like nothing else. It's our third time staying here, even though we live less than 10 minutes away. Despite this we managed to make an error with our booking and arrived having booked for the following month! But nothing is ever a problem and Bernie at the front desk went out of her way to accommodate us and gave us a beautiful room overlooking the government buildings across the road. Service everywhere is attentive but relaxed. Food in the Garden Room was excellent and reasonably priced compared to many places in Dublin - again with warm and friendly service. Breakfast is as good as you'll find anywhere in the world. On the last day my wife couldn't finish her breakfast and asked that it be packed up for our dog and we were given a mountain of sausages to bring home! The pool/spa are an oasis of calm in the city. We can't wait to be back. Next time we'll book afternoon tea, which looked amazing as we were walking through the lounge.

Wonderful, relaxing atmosphere surrounded by lovely art collection. Warm, open fire and beautiful music on piano played by charming young woman. Food was delicious too!
