The Merrion is a grand old-world hotel located near the main sites of Dublin, with exceptional service, excellent dining options, and clean, comfortable rooms. Our light-filled garden view room was spacious and quiet, with fluffy robes, comfortable bedding, and large bathroom. The Cellar Bar has wonderful atmosphere, great service, and good food. The breakfast options were delicious and plentiful. We would highly recommend the Merrion to friends or family visiting Dublin.
The room was very nice, clean and beds were very comfortable. We had a great dinner at the Garden Room. The disappointing part was the gym and spa. The gym is small with a very crowded weights area and the ‘’spa’ is a pool, a sauna that fits two people and a steam room that wasn’t steamy and needed cleaning. Part of the reason we booked the hotel was for the spa and gym.
Beautiful well appointed hotel in a central location. There is nothing to fault. All the staff were incredibly friendly and professional and made you feel extra special.
Our room, overlooking the gardens, was spotlessly clean with plenty of amenities, facilities and toiletries. Breakfast was pricey, but delicious and plentiful. We didn’t have any spa treatments, but my husband did use the pool which was large enough to do laps.
A wonderful hotel and cannot wait to return.
