This is a lovely hotel. The service is friendly and efficient and the decor subtile and relaxing. We had an unexpectedly decent evening meal in the Cellar Restaurant, and I was especially impressed with the way that the Matre D' handled a crying baby (why on earth do people take noisy babies into otherwise relaxed restaurants in the evening?) which... more

Stayed here for a weekend but was very disappointed unfortunately. The hotel is in a great location but is now dated and hugely overpriced. Service is ok, 'spa' & pool area is grubby, broken tiles showers, needs to be painted etc. Couldn't recommend it unfortunately. more

I can well understand the attraction of the hotel. It's a handsome hotel in a good location in Dublin. However my personal experience left much to be desired. First - The room we were given smelled badly from the paint renovations ongoing in the hotel. We were given another room and guess what - next day - they started painting... more

What a wonderful hotel! From the moment you walk in through the door, the service and attention from staff is beyond superb. And the location is ideal, within 5 mins walk from the very centre of the city. To get to my room I had to walk through the sitting room, with inviting log fire, through a glass covered walkway... more

When I last reviewed the Merrion, I thought it was beginning to look tired. It still is but there is now at least some work being done in refreshing the rooms or at least the paintwork. Perhaps I am a bit more mellow as it is still a cool time of year and one does not have to endure the... more

Spent a few days prior to Xmass here and couldn't have been happier. The place is amazing and what a top of the line hotel should be. Rooms are exceptional w/ high-end linens, amazingly comfortable beds and beautiful bathroom. We arrived enjoyed tea in the lobby in front of a peat fire while our luggage was taken to our room.... more

Stayed here for an anniversary with two other couples over Christmas. Upon arrival our car was looked after and we were offered help with our bags. We were delighted to find a gift of some complimentary strawberries and other goodies in our room for our anniversary. This was a lovely touch. The room itself (in the garden room) was well... more

Impeccable service as soon as we stepped out of the cab. I loved the large marble bathroom with seperate tub. My husband and I look young for our age, and sometimes get treated like teenagers at nice European hotels, but not at the Merrion. Everyone was very nice helpful and friendly. I am an American expat and like to travel... more
