Top Merrion Hotel Reviews

Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in a great location. The room was clean and comfortable!"

Hilton Garden Inn Dublin City Centre

8/10 Good

"We were unable to check in until 15:50 we arrived at the property at 14:20. There were 40-50 there with their luggage also waiting to check in. It was very crowded there was no place to sit or stand there was no system in place everyone had to keep queuing at reception to check if the room was ready."

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

8/10 Good

"Solid hotel convenient to Dublin airport. The breakfast was the highlight, paying for parking was the lowlight. Including parking in the price or letting customers know ahead of time would be more transparent. It was crazy crowded, so having only three elevators complicates things when checking in. The fitness center is way too small (with no air flow) for the amount of folks staying there. That said, beds were comfy, shower had great water pressure, rooms came with a fridge. Overall, a reliable choice for the night before a flight."

The Hendrick Smithfield

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel close to the IMMA and other key points of interests! Loved the design choices of the room, very clean, small but perfectly cosy for a solo traveller with a super comfy bed. Added bonus was the luxurious Rituals toiletries in the bathroom. Bartender allowed me to take a Prosecco flute up to my room, which is always appreciated too. Thank you!"
