Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Merrion Hotel is ideally located within walking distance of Dublin's high points, making it easy to explore the Merrion Square neighborhood. Guests consistently praise the delicious breakfast served in The Garden Room, with special mention given to the exceptional vegan options, along with the pre dinner drinks in the Cellar bar. The rooms are noted for being spacious and spotlessly clean; however, a few guests have mentioned rooms facing side streets with bins. All in all, the hotel provides a great stay.

the breakfast had good options.
I booked a room, explicitly mentioning my birthday week, but i got a room facing a side street with bins. during check-in, the receptionist seemed more like quizzing me for my exact birthday date than offering a warm welcome. a chair in the room also had a small metal pin sticking out from under the seat. it pricked my daughter's finger. It was a hazard!!!
