The Merrion

Made a last minute booking due to a family member being admitted to hospital. Was received by Robert who as always makes everything so easy. Was warmly welcomed by the lovely reception staff , allocated a beautiful room where I had a gorgeous shower and feel into a heavenly bed after a light supper delivered to my room! My car as promised was waiting outside for me at 7.30am this morning with my bags loaded ready for me , after my lovely breakfast promptly served by lovely staff! 5 stars is not enough to rate my experience!

This hotel is very impressive. It is beautiful and the location is fantastic but it is the staff that makes this hotel outstanding. Very warm, personable, helpful-the best stay in a hotel I've ever had. Concierge service helped with dinner reservations, taxi to airport. An after dinner drink at Bar No 23 was luxurious indulgence.

This visit was flawless. I had been in 5* before but the Merrion is the best so far. Staff were wonderful. Friendly and courteous and always ready to help. We didn’t have dinner but breakfast was perfect. Great choices. Great service with a smile. Not one staff member during our stay were unfriendly or unhelpful. They were just waiting to help.

We can't say enough about the Merrion Hotel in terms of the friendly and helpful staff, the warm hospitality on the part of all, the perfect location, and the quality of the facility. They also have the best High Tea in Dublin, as well as a Michelin 2-star restaurant in the same building. The restaurant staff, the chamber maids, the concierge desk people and the front desk were all first rate. Additionally, we were at the hotel during the worst winter storm ever recorded in Ireland, and had no issues in the building. When the Dail is in session, traffic is diverted however the hotel arranged for taxis and gave us good directions. We could walk to concerts, the theatre and shops all over central Dublin and there are a wealth of places to eat nearby. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom first rate. We stayed for 8 nights and would do so again without hesitation.

This is one of the best hotels and guest experiences I’ve ever had in all my many travels. We had a wonderful 3-night stay at The Merrion and highly recommend this beautiful property. This was our first stop on a two-week trip around Ireland. The front desk staff are incredible, quickly know your name, and make your stay special. The entire staff are welcoming and helpful. The breakfast servers are also amazing. The front doormen took such great care of my mother as she came in and out of the front entrance. They treated her like royalty. The rooms are beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is among one of the best we’ve experienced. We enjoyed dinner at the hotel. I also enjoyed some Irish whiskey in the cozy, elegant bar. We were here on July 4th. The hotel delivered to our two rooms a nice July 4th treat since we were guests from the United States. The pool is wonderful and warm. The locker rooms are also nicely appointed. The pool can get deep quick, but it is one of the amenities we enjoyed each night of our stay. We also used the hotel laundry and pressing service. It was very quick and very well done. We continue to reminisce about our wonderful stay at The Merrion and hope to return again. It truly was one of the best hotel stays of our many travel experiences we’ve been fortunate to have over the years. Thank you for making the start of our trip to Ireland so special and wonderful!
