The Merrion

We stayed recently for 3 nights. Love when you arrive, luggage quickly taken by the fantastic concierges. We paid for car parking. It takes the stress of looking for parking. We were kindly upgraded to room 380, a beautiful suite. Issac brought up our luggage, and was very friendly. Thank you Sheila and John from the front office team. Loved room 380, cosiest bed ever. Lovely clean and spacious room with a nice street view. Whilst there was a slight delay waiting on breakfast on 2 mornings, a very friendly waiter (with red hair) was very attentive offering mimosa or orange juice. Claire is a wee star on breakfast. Thanks Claire for the banana bread! Really enjoyed the breakfast, such a treat. We dined in The Cellar bar and really enjoyed this also. Thanks to David and his excellent team for a very enjoyable evening. Michelle served us, and she was A star. The Merrion is very central for walking about Dublin. This was our sixth stay and we enjoyed every minute. We love to see Stephen, the concierge, a true gentleman. Sorry we did not get to see David, this time! Nice to see Vanessa again. Also need to mention Caroline on reception, always so helpful and Oliver, who very quickly took all our luggage to the car. I got my hair done in The Merrion hairdressers and was very pleased with it. Very friendly and talented hairdresser. Sorry I have forgotten his name! Overall we had another amazing stay. Very relaxing and fantastic staff. Thank you to all the team.

When you don't wish to leave, you know the hotel was a 5 star experience and more! Let me encourage those whose flights arrive in the early a.m. to book the night before; we did, and it was such a help, regardless of not using the room until our flight landed at 5:30 am. Having that proverbial "soft place to land" was exquisite after the cramped Aer Lingus flight! I just wish we had brought our swim suits, the pool was so inviting. Everything from the concierge service, reservations and desk staff, housekeeping, Garden Room wait staff (with delightful vegan options for me) was exceptional. We had a Superior King, and stayed two nights each at the start and the finish of our 10 day holiday. I will say I was glad to have brought my new "Hush" white noise machine (from Amazon) to override some of the sounds in the hall and next room, to be expected in a booked, lively hotel where there are children. So Hush did the trick. The soaking tub was amazing, we were able to watch the Eagles game on the TV from the comfort of the beautiful bed that enveloped us, the hotel art and lovely holiday decor throughout was so special, and all the little thoughtful in-room touches -- we want to return as soon as possible! The Merrion Hotel made our holiday perfect -- thank you to everyone on the hotel team and happy new year to you all!

Our stay at The Merrion was amazing from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Each and every member of Staff were a credit to The Merrion. We could not find fault with The Merrion, its accommodation or any of the services and would highly recommend The Merrion for any occasion

An excellent hotel for my birthday stay in Dublin - location is superb in a lovely area, the hotel and service is excellent throughout, our accommodation and room furnishings was top quality, the spa is serene and of a first class quality especially the treatments, the Irish breakfast was great - I thoroughly recommend this hotel for a trip to Dublin

Our stay at The Merrion was divine. A truly luxurious hotel with exceptional staff providing the most wonderful service. We enjoyed delicious meals in the Garden Room and Cellar Bar as well as perfect sandwiches in No. 23. Our room was perfect, so comfortable and well thought out with everything we could possibly need. The Christmas decorations and entertainment made it a truly magical experience. We hope to come back soon.
