Top Hotel with a great location for the City Centre. Gourmet food excelllent (about Euros140 per head with wine) but rather lacking in ambience. Cellar pub better for fun. Breakfast at Euros 30 per head not worth it. Nice spa. More

Traveling over 150 nights a year can make hotels all blend into one chorus of yes sir no sir and where shall we send the bill sir. Not so at The Merrion. My wife and I spent a night here on a recent, and rare, night away from it all in Dublin. Staff, to a man and woman, were excellent.... More

I stayed here during an overnight business trip. I arrived after dark and left early the next morning but despite my short visit, I was impressed the the beautifically restored combination of 4 old townhouses and the attached garden wing. The public rooms and guest rooms are all very nicely layed out. I liked the private club atmosphere of the... More

My partner and I spent two nights at the Merrion in late January and would happily return. We stayed in the original part of the hotel which is definitely the nicer section. There is a newer section and those rooms are quite average in comparison (we had massages and my treatment room was in the newer section of the hotel)...we... More

Favourite hotel in Dublin. Staff are courteous, attentive, friendly and yet discreet. Main lounge area is beautiful, subtle and understated and full of art to admire. Very convenient (5 minutes walk from Grafton Street) to best shopping and entertainment in Dublin. Thoroughly recommend. Have spent several very enjoyable, relaxing weekend breaks in Merrion and will continue to return. More

There is something very special about staying and relaxing in grand ancient and luxurious rooms of a true Old Dublin Residence. Restored so gracefully, American visitors will tell you in detail about this fantastic experience but really its a pleasure us Irish should avail of more. The Merrion offers all that is wonderful about Dublin hospitality. More

For 25 years I stayed yearly at the Shelborne Hotel Dublin.A few years ago an American chain took over management of the Shelborne and I decided to change my allegiance. How glad I was that I found the Merrion for this hotel not only fulfills my present wishes and wants but maintains that irish feel which is so special.The accents... More

Eventhough I am a Marriott rewards member my choice of hotel in Dublin is not the Shelbourne but is always, without fail, The Merrion Hotel. Despite my numerous stays I have always left with total satisfaction. The quality and professionalsim of the service, food, accommodation is always second to none. No business is 100% perfect and on the very, very... More

Traveled to Dublin on a family vacation late December 2011. There were 18 of us total! I found The Merrion absolutely delightful and really can't think of anything I didn't like. Felt very comfortable away. Literally, we arrived off a very early flight and had to wait a short amount of time for a room to be ready so my... More

This was our second stay at The Merrion. The staff are great, the common rooms comfortable and relaxing; the Cellar Bar a treat. This time we had lunch in the Cellar bar, it was small but very tasty! The cocktail bar is relaxing but has limited seating. As you would expect, drink prices are very high…. Our luggage awaited us... More
