This property has the old Irish charm down to a tea. The smell in the lobby is breaktaking but the staff is not, they do not know what they are doing. The Cellar Restaurant and Drawing Rooms are great but I have not been to the Patrick Guilbaud restaurant. The room was old and boiling hot. The bathroom was small... more

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

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.

The wirless was an extra 50 euro, no playstation and... more

My husband and I just returned from a weekend stay at The Merrion and what a great experience we had. From the moment we walked in, the staff was so helpful and gracious. The hotel itself is beautiful with gorgeous living rooms with fireplaces where you can relax and have tea. They also have a beautiful garden in the courtyard.... more

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
