    The price of the rooms and restaurant costs are high so value for money is harder to accept. But other than that I can’t wait to visit there again soon

    Room excellent food very good and staff would be the reason I would return. It’s very pricey unfortunately but for a special stay in the capital and its location makes it a winner

    Expensive. I booked the room almost a year in advance for €505. I spoke to another guest who booked the same type of room for the same night less than a week ago for €80 cheaper. I’ve stayed in this hotel many times, but this will put me off as a 1st choice from staying here again.

    The staff were all polite and courteous, very helpful & professional. The room was clean , the bed very comfortable. Excellent location. The sauna and shower facilities were great to have after the marathon when a late check out couldn’t be facilitated.

    One afternoon when we wanted to drink a cup of tea, there was no room neither in the lounges nor in the bar as there were so many people (probably not all guests at the hotel) enjoying afternoon tea.

    The personnel were very friendly and helpful and the hotel has a lot of character and is very comfortable.

    I loved everything about my stay! The restaurants were incredible, especially Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and welcoming. The spa and pool area were also very relaxing, making the whole experience perfect. Highly recommend!

    Everything was just great! I celebrated my birthday here with friends, and we were blown away by the experience. Both restaurants were absolutely incredible — the two Michelin-starred Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud offers a fine dining experience like no other, while The Garden Room was perfect for a more relaxed yet still exceptional meal. The atmosphere, service, and attention to detail made this stay truly memorable. The hotel's facilities were also fantastic. We enjoyed relaxing in the cozy Drawing Rooms with their open log fires and treated ourselves to some amazing cocktails at No 23. The Merrion Spa and Health Club was a peaceful oasis where we made the most of the pool and sauna. I highly recommend this hotel for a special occasion or just a luxurious getaway. I will definitely return if I’m back in Dublin

    Nothing comes to mind.

    We were very impressed by the little "additional" touches, such as the band to hold the cables from my charger box and spectacles cloth, because the staff had noted that the cables were dangling loose and we both wore spectacles. Reception, concierge and doormen were all very helpful in giving us directions and getting taxis. The room was spacious, clean and very well equipped. We enjoyed a meal in The Garden Room and were presented with a "Congratulations" plate of cake and fruit, as we were celebrating our 55th wedding anniversary (Emerald), in the Emerald Isle. Overall, we had a most enjoyable few days.

    Everything! from the moment we walked into the hotel lobby you knew that you were going to enjoy the stay here The staff were helpful, very friendly and consummate professionals. Public spaces were very comfortable and we particularly enjoyed the garden area and being able to relax with drinks or snacks Our bedroom was supremely comfortable with all the amenities plus that one could want together with lots of little personal touches including little bon bons (to die for!) Everywhere was extremely clean Loved the atmosphere in the Cellar Bar. We returned from a late concert and amazed to find we could order snacks here until 1230 am! This hotel is obviously managed by a team who truly know what they are doing and their guests want!!

    Bought a bottle of Chablis which was simply poor quality but still cost 75 Euro . Wine list very expensive and our room had a view of a side street which was not great.

    Food was good, staff were excellent very comfortable bed and a good bathroom.
