The Merrion Hotel was the most elegant, well kept hotel I've ever had the pleasure to experience. The staff was most kind and helpful. We love room service and The Merrion does it best: a hot box under the roll in table to keep the breakfast warm was wonderful and the room had a chair and bench so we could comfortably sit and dine. These seating options were in addition to the two very comfortable lounge chairs on wheels. The very large room had an operable large, almost double door size, window that overlooked the beautiful formal gardens with fountains and large reflecting pool. The curtains were pale beige houndstooth check woolens with sheers that operated easily. The linens and duvet were European style without a separate sheet, and were pressed but soft as velvet. The heating and cooling temperature control was most responsive and silent, and the fan had three settings so perfect control was possible. The hotel food was of the highest quality with excellent options and preparation but could have been a bit spicier for my taste. Housekeeping was amazing! This hotel was the cleanest of all hotels ever, not a speck of soil, and all fixtures and bedding appeared new. The controls in the shower allowed one to set a temperature for the visit, and then turn on and off with a separate dial. I did not see the pool area but all the public areas were immaculate. The Afternoon Art Tea had delicious tea, the pastries were diverse. Hotel was within easy walking distance of DART train

Our stay here was fine. The public areas could use some updating. Plumbing fixtures in the bathroom were not the best. Only hotel in 10 days in Ireland that didn’t give us cookies or chocolates at turn down. No acknowledgment of Expedia gold members here. Location is quite central and the room was good - small but fine.

1 night at the price of 600 euro, disgusted
Where do i start, so from when i arrived until i went home i never felt welcome at all. I was being watch and followed like i was some sort of criminal i payed 600 euro for 1 night stay which didnt even include breakfast they had also taken a further 500 euro from my account whitch was followed up with a refund. The room was very basic and i had the worst night slep ever i am now in a premier inn at the moment and its a 5/5 for me, overall i would rate this place as 2/10 i felt so intimated which was terrible i could even get any food because they would not let us into the bar told me to get room service and also if i wanted breakfast they also suggested room service. I was never so glad to get out of that hotel i was clearly judged for the way i looked i was going to the rds so has casual clothes on i.am nust so angry with the treatment i had.
This was my bed when I was told I had a double room I also had 3 kids with me so they got the double bed and I created this.
