Anantara The Marker Dublin Hotel

Wonderful 3 night experience for a visit to Dublin to see our daughter studying a nearby Trinity (our first time at an Anantara property). The room was nicely-sized, well-appointed, comfortable bed (great shower) and very quiet….service was great, including breakfast and bar (if you have AMEX platinum, you get some nice extra benefits). We even got a special rooftop tour to see Dublin and learn more about the area from Derek who we ran into while on the lift! One minor drawback was our check in experience, which could have been a little better…we arrived early from our overnight US flight (around 11am) and no room was available (all good…so we walked around and grabbed lunch). We finally got into our room about 3:15pm after checking back in a few times while waiting comfortably in the lobby for about 45 min post lunch. But it didn’t diminish the overall experience and would definitely return.

Residents bar doesn't exist. Staff became unfriendly when asked could we get a late drink. Very disappointed considering the money you pay to stay. Other aspects of our stay where good but I won't come back. It's the little things that count and the marker doesn't seem to do them.

We went for an afternoon tea experience, Poetry & Places. A lovely afternoon spent trying various teas under the guidance of Ana who was very helpful and knowledgeable. Ana put us completely at ease and was more than helpful at all times. A truly lovely afternoon spent in a beautiful setting.

Lovely modern hotel with very friendly staff . Availed of the valet parking rather than using the carpark next door . Benjamin was very helpful when arranging parking greeted us outside the hotel and checked us in . Very friendly reception and helpful and welcoming . Modern rooms with everything you’d need liked the personal touch of real flower in the bathroom . Great location for visiting Bord Gais. Plenty of restaurants and bars near the hotel. Breakfast was very good plenty of choice. Stayed in a good few 5 star hotels and and feel the friendly and accommodating staff and the the little touches make this one of the nicer ones I’ve stayed in .

The location really couldn't have been better for what we wanted. The hotel itself was very modern, check in was quick and easy. Our room was upgraded to a premium room which was excellent. The room was very spacious, coffee machine, tea and water all there too. I would recommend booking a table for your meal, we were disappointed that they could not find room for us at the bar area for food. Management have apologised.
