This is a magical quiet low key elegant hotel beautifully serene and beautiful. Set in a stunning location central to everything. It is quite unique, Dublins version of The Connaught, Claridges of London or indeed, The Carlisle in New York . Unlike its flamboyant competitors in the city, there are no buses whizzing past, people wanting to be seen. Famous people yes, but those that like to be quiet and enjoy life like everyone else. The gentle quiet pace of the city, coupled by a sense that there might be some fun just around the corner. Most importantly the merrion boasts one of the most intelligent eclectic art collections in the city. And it is just fun to sit and enjoy the fact that art is and always will be the best part of visiting ireland. « less

Bizarre/interesting/great hotel: VERY unassuming (ugly?) from the street, but once you're in the door: woohoo! - Great location near Park - Mediocre shower pressure (although colleague had better so it might be room dependant) - crap view from window (ground level) - great pub in basement - beautiful/original/cozy/idiosyncratic lobby/lounge with fireplace and nice old furniture - great service/staff - great pillows - very good climate control - charming/huge garden
My local colleagues gasped in horror when I said it looked like council/social housing from the street ("it's heritage-protected! Edwardian classic!") but once you're in door it's really impressive. « less

My husband and I stayed here and it was really good, the room was really nice and the bed was huge. The mini bar was really well stocked and reasonably priced. They had a turn down service which was lovely. We had breakfast delivered and it was very good. The cellar bar is a really nice bar with very good food. The staff from all over the hotel where very friendly and helpful, will most certainly stay here again. « less

The Merrion Hotel is in a perfect Dublin location. It is a 5-15 minute walk to nearly every site you'd want to see there - Grafton Street, Guinness Store, Trinity College, Temple Bar area and tons more. The concierge, bell and front desk staff at the hotel are top notch. The rooms are fairly standard but well equipped. Wi-Fi is free. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the tea room off the lobby was quaint and welcoming. The fitness center had a nice pool, steam room and excellent locker room facilities (Bath products, Shave Products, robes, slippers lockers - all free to use).
My company paid for the room so I'm not sure of the cost, I'd guess it isn't cheap. I recommend this spot for a romantic or business trip. « less

The Merrion is a lovely hotel. However, it is ridiculously overpriced. The rooms are adequate. The staff is half delightful and half snobby and there is a lack of warmth that permeates. The best way to describe the feeling is that I am doing them a favor by staying here. Nothing overt, but an underlying snobbism. Let's face it, at 510 euros a night, I want to be included in the snobby feel. Instead, I have step-child syndrome. Not a great feeling at top euro. « less
