The Merrion Hotel

Great location across from government buildings, a short walk to St. Stephens Green, Trinity College and Grafton St. Historical building with a lot of atmosphere (somewhat stuffy, not a place for kids to run thru the lobby). Room was well-appointed. Bathroom was marble with both a tub and shower. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Strange that in a 5 start hote there were no tea/coffee making facilities in our room?

The hotel is in an ideal location, just a 10 minute walk from Grafton Street; the service is warm and friendly- the staff are extremely attentive. One word of warning- the hotel food is extortionate- breakfast is charged at 35 euros each! My advice is to go around the corner to the bagel factory or rhubarb cafe- you can get a decent breakfast for less than 10 euro. had a spa treatment- very good- definitely recommended. Great room, great hotel, just lousy food prices!

A gem in the middle of Dublin. Didn't realise the hotel was so big - it's hidden very well from the outside. We were met by an old-school doorman, who was exceptionally friendly throughout our stay. Check in handled very professionally and we were given an overview of the spa/leisure facilities, bar and restaurant as we were shown to our room.
The room wasn't massive but it was very comfortable, stylish and well appointed. Broadband was chargeable, though. I think that should be thrown in for the price.
After a swim in the pool, we were so impressed by the character of the bar, we decided to eat there. It's in the cellar and it's full of nooks and crannies. Not a vast menu, but our choices of steak and chicken were exceptional. There's a huge range of wine, all available by the glass and fair value.
Our rate didn't include breakfast, so can't comment on that.
Would definitely stay again.

the hotel was very pleasent,the staff very helpfull and polite. it was situated just far enough away from town for peace and quiet at night. did not eat in restaurent as husband was under the weather but would have as menu looked scrummy! would recomend to friends.
