Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It seems to be tucked away yet it's less than a 5 minute walk to Grafton street and Stephen's Green which was awesome. there is a restaurant and coffee/beer cart in the lobby which was convenient. I had zero interaction with the staff other than to validate parking. There are kiosks to check in and check out so you may never actually speak to a single worker. If you are the kind that likes more of a human touch just know that. We enjoyed our stay and the size of the room was huge from our experience in getting a family room in Europe. However, the pull out sofa bed which is the second bed was HORRENDOUS. no one could sleep on it. it appeared broken, bowed int he middle and was basically a pad laying on metal poles. Unfortunate since the actual bed was amazing."

"The hotel is beautful! Clean areas, lovely lounge , coffee , snacks on entry. Room and beds are comfortable . Only thing is that if you are on the first floor , there is an elevator to go up but then you still have a short flight of stairs to manage to get to your room. Inconvenient if you have a lot of heavy luggage to manage. There is a convenient store for snacks/gas, fast food . Nothing else is around . It will cost about 26€ to get to downtown"

I really enjoyed the cosy room with all the amenities. but if you’re sensitive to noise the 5th floor picks up the restaurant like you’re in the same area. But it shuts down around 10pm.
