We were greeted immediately like we were old friends returning. The staff made us feel not just welcome but pampered... They even wrapped my cell phone charging cord every evening when my room was turned down!

    “La qualité de l’accueil dans tous les services et la gentillesse du personnel. C’est très rare à ce point. Notre chambre était de grand confort, tout est propre, très bien entretenu. Il y a plein de petites attentions charmantes.”

    “Stayed here the night after our wedding and had such a lovely time. Staff were so kind and attentive, room service dinner was delicious, the hotel itself is really beautiful and has a lovely atmosphere. From start to finish, we had a fantastic stay, would highly recommend! We’re local so it wasn’t a factor for us booking, but the location is so central to everything if you’re visiting Dublin from abroad.”

  • Wonderful stay, completely spoiled by an overcharge despite checkout assurances.

    “除了给我们的房间位于Ground Floor这点很不好之外,酒店的其他方面都很好,比如所在位置,干净卫生情况,早餐,服务等等这些都非常不错,一个细节:酒店的洗发水这些质量很高。 Apart from the fact that our room was on the ground floor, which was a bit of a let-down, every other aspect of the hotel was excellent – the location, cleanliness, breakfast and service were all very good. One small detail: the hotel’s shampoo/conditioner are of a very high quality.”

  • Exquisite!

    “This is my second time staying at the Merrion and it is such a wonderful hotel. My daughter lives in Dublin and I love visiting her and the Merrion is my first choice of hotels in the city. It is exquisitely decorated and so comfortable and the staff are absolutely wonderful. I feel very special when I stay there. Looking forward to going back!”
