Lonely Planet "Sleeping isn't really the activity of choice for anyone staying in this compact, decent hostel in the middle of Temple Bar, next to the pub of the same name."
OysterMid-Range
"The Temple Bar Hotel is a mid-sized option in the middle of Dublin's busiest, most energetic district." Full review
Time Out "There is much to be said for staying right in the centre of things - and, despite its busy nightclub, the hotel does well to maintain an air of civility." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is defined by its location smack in the middle of Temple Bar, a magnet for pub hoppers, street musicians and exuberant tourists." Full review
i
Due to the noise emanating from this neighborhood, those who actually want to sleep should request rooms on the back side of the hotel, facing Adair Lane.
Frommer's "This cheerful, well-run hotel certainly wins in the location stakes, sitting right in the middle of trendy Temple Bar" Full review

Michelin Guide "Elegant hotel... spacious bedrooms."
Frommer's "Housed in four restored Georgian houses, the Merrion is a deeply feminine, traditionally elegant hotel." Full review
Concierge "In a city of spotty service, the staff here does a good impression of having had decades of practice, and the look of the place is weathering beautifully."
Fodor's "Stately and spiffy, and splendidly situated... this luxurious hotel actually comprises four exactingly restored Georgian town houses." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This resplendent five-star hotel, in a terrace of beautifully restored Georgian townhouses, opened in 1988 but looks like it's been around a lot longer." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The Merrion is Dublin's most exclusive luxury hotel, and has a convenient location across from the Government buildings in four 18th-century townhouses." Full review
Time Out "Housed inside four restored, listed Georgian houses, the Merrion doesn't shy away from a little frill here, a delicate striped couch there." Full review
Star Service "Thanks to management's adept style and the meticulous staff, this hotel comes off as a cozier version of the Four Seasons." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"The Merrion Hotel opens into a series of period drawing rooms fragranced by turf fires and adorned with Ireland's largest collection of private art." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Occupying a cluster of four stately Georgian houses, The Merrion embodies the classical glamour of the 18th century, with a subtly modern twist." Full review
