Merrion Hotel, Dublin

Advantages: High Quaility, Beautiful Hotel, Sheer Style
Disadvantages: No onsite car parking

...to review somewhere like the Merrion Hotel, its just such an awing experience. We went to the Merrion as a special pre Christmas weekend to Dublin. I had not stayed there before and was going purely on its reputation and the recommendation of my partner, who had stayed before. The Merrion Hotel, Upper Merrion Street, Dublin 2, Ireland, was a delightful experience from the moment we decided to visit it. As you approach it you are immediately put ...
...rest of the hotel the Merrion rooms were spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Service The quality did not stop just at the arrival. We were going out that night, and as usual I was not as prepared as I should have been. I contacted room service to see if I could get an iron. In fact the room service just took the two shirts (I couldn't decide which to wear) away and returned them about 30 minutes later very well pressed. No coffee ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic experience, excellent service and large room
Disadvantages: Can't think of any!

...and booked the 5 star Merrion Hotel. I had considered the more famous and modern Clarence Hotel , perhaps in the hope of bumping into one of U2, but settled for the Merrion as its Georgian look and gourmet food was more my husband's style. We were certainly not disappointed! The service was fantastic. I don't ever remember seeing my luggage - it just kept appearing in my room or reception or in the taxi. My husband's shirt was pressed and hung back ...
...the lady on recption did not laugh when I asked for the News of the World as my Sunday paper (can't help it if I need my X Factor gossip!) . All the staff were extremely pleasant and even the poor lad who took ill and threw up in the toilets next to my husband could not apologise enough. Even before our stay the concierge was really helpful booking dinner appointments for us and advising us on places to visit and dress codes. Turning to the room ... Read review

Advantages: Highly recommended 3-star Dublin hotel handy for the city centre

Advantages: Sheer unadulterated luxury.
Disadvantages: VERY, VERY, expensive.

...~ ~ The Merrion Hotel only opened its doors for business just over two years ago, but already is vying with the venerable and ancient Shelbourne Hotel for the distinction of being rated as the top hotel in Dublin city. It would be hard to find a better or more central location than the Merrion. Situated on Upper Merrion Street, in the very heart of old Georgian Dublin, it is directly opposite Government Buildings and the “Dial”, the main Houses of Parliament in Ireland, and literally round the corner from the famous St. Stephen’s Green, with its beautiful inner-city park. ~ ~ The Merrion was in fact the result of four separate Georgian buildings being totally redesigned, revamped and amalgamated, to produce a masterpiece of craftsmanship that you would swear had been in place for centuries.

....00 for a return ticket and Children play a flat fee of €1 and must be accompanied by an adult to use the service. *~*Where does the Aircoach Stop?*~* The Aircoach stops at many of the popular hotels including the Burlington, The Gresham and Jury’s Hotel. As previously mentioned there are city maps available on the coach which will detail all of the stops and this is also published on the Aircoach website if you want to plan your trip before you arrive at the airport. The journey into Dublin City does take approximately an hour from the airport however we were on the first flight into Dublin which was mainly business passengers and we hit rush hour traffic so we were almost 2 hours arriving at our stop on Upper Leeson Street. Coach Stop Estimated Time FROM Airport (mins) Dublin Airport... Read review
