I stayed here while visiting some friends for 2 days. Location is AMAZING! The hop on hop off bus pick up was very close. There are city bus stops very close. The drop off and pick up for the airport was very close by as well. The restaurant was nice, however, we only had breakfast there as it was included.... More

This hotel is in a great location with everything on your doorstep. I stayed here twice, one night before my tour of Southern Ireland and one night after the tour. We had a triple room and on the first night we were given a room on the first floor. The room was rather dated and it was pretty noisy -... More

Great place. Right in the middle of a load of pubs, and the hotel itself has a good bar area. Its a little dated in places but definitely clean and tidy. The noise was not too bad for me - I was on the second floor overlooking the main road. Higher up at the back would be fine I should... More

Have stayed here a few times when meeting friends in Dublin and cannot knock it for the price that you pay for. Okay so it cannot compare to the 5 stars in Dublin and does lack in facilities that other hotels have to offer but it has everything you need for a night away. on the 3 occasions I have... More

Nice hotel amidst all major attractions in Dublin. Friendly staff and lively bar. Somewhat dated rooms, but reasonably comfortable. Make sure to stay on the upper floors as the surrounding roads and alleys can become quite noisy in the evenings,

Excellent location, near to everything. Clean warm and comfortable rooms, dated decor but that adds to the character of this hotel. Staff were friendly. No complaints whatsoever about this hotel. The only thing I missed was a hairdryer in the room which would have been nice. But the room had a bath which was a treat! Especially after running 10k.

We stayed 5 nights at Mercantile and it was great. Friendly staff, tidy rooms right in the city center. The hotel is situated in the Temple bar area with lots of bars, restaurants around. It's within walking distance of many of the main attractions in Dublin. I surely recommend.

I stayed here with my husband in feburary and had a lovely stay. I was a little unsure about the booking due to the bad reviews about the noise. We arrived sunday and stayed till wednesday and we were not bothered by any noise what so ever. The bar down stairs was lovely and had a nice atmosphere. The location... More

Simply put, GREAT LOCATION, good restaurants, 3 bars, small but economic room (our bed was not very comfortable, but this could just have been ours), very noisy. This hotel is only a few short blocks from Trinity College and right in the heart of the Temple Bar district. Beware that the noise level from the bars surrounding you will continue... More
