We've just returned from the Merrion and it was absolutely perfect!!! Some reviews don't rate this hotel as 5 stars but we can promise you that it definately is. We e-mailed the hotel to ask if we could check in earlier as we had an early flight and although we couldn't check in immediately they said it would be ready... more

we stayed at the merrion for 2 nights. the rooms are lovely, the loos great and the food excellent. for me what made this hotel special, apart from proximity to the tourist areas, the decor, the gardens was... we were due to leave dublin last eve but due to flash floods we missed our flight. we were unable to find... more

What an outstanding hotel!!!!!!!! Classic elegance, great location, beautiful courtyard. Our room was extremely spacious and up-to-date. Great Cellar Restaurant and Bar. The drawing rooms were perfect for tea as well. There was a great spa and beautiful indoor pool.

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at this hotel. We booked direct on the hotel website and paid €199 room only for a Saturday night (26/7/08) which we thought was excellent value.

We were delayed on our trip throughout Ireland, thanks to the airline who decided to slam on their brakes midway through takeoff (london to dublin), and then had to go back to the gate to refuel (turns out, the air traffic controllers thought the plane behind us in line was a wee bit too close, so canceled our takeoff... so,... more

This hotel was fantastic and we stay in many higher end hotels, mostly Fairmont. This is a wonderful luxury hotel. I found the staff extremely friendly and attentive. I wanted to make tea myself so they brought cups and a kettle to my room and left it there for the full stay and replenished the cups and glasses on a... more

Really nice pool and excellent breakfast. The Michelin 2* adjoining restaurant was excellent. But overall the hotel was a little disappointing - our room at the front suffered from traffic noise with the windows open but the aircon was not very effective and was noisy. And the pricier the hotel the less you seem to get included - they charge... more
