We stayed at the Merrion Hotel in Dublin in May - it was rainy and cold. When we entered the hotel we were welcomed by no less than 3 wood-burning fireplaces, a complimentary drink, because we would have to wait for only 10 minutes for our room to be made up, and the most attentive staff. Our rate included a... more

We didn't upgrade so we really had a very basic room for our 5-night stay, but the room and the entire hotel were wonderful. The room was well-appointed and had a fabulous bathtub. Housekeeping was immaculate. Every employee we encountered was polite, knowledgeable and genuinely looked happy to be at work. The primary reason for the trip was business, but... more

Stayed as part of a group of eight, for a long weekend and have to say that the hotel is a little tired looking externally. I don't doubt that it's a magnificent old hotel but a little tlc wouldn't go amiss. The staff were, without exception, superb.

My stay was back in 2008 and was out of this world. Stay was a surprise gift from a friend. Staff are 5* without a doubt. Had a garden view room, good size and comfortable. Afternoon Tea in the Drawing Rooms was a total delight. Will be back soon. more

I just loved everything about this hotel. The Doorman was so lovely and sweet throughout our stay and all the staff were really brilliant. We had a room overlooking the garden and it was hard to leave it after the 3 days. We ate in the downstairs restaurant - The Cellar which has really cool vaulted ceilings and the wine... more

I have nothing but good things to say about The Merrion, it was excellent. We travelled with our 22 month-old daughter and the touches the added for her made me a fan forever. There was a tiny robe and slippers for her in the wardrobe as well as a range of baby toiletries and a beautiful cot made up for... more

Lovely hotel and fantastic service in the centre of Dublin. Great hotel for a weekend break or business in the city, quite pricy but worth it for the quality more
