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

"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

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

"While the location near Trinity College is excellent, the one main complaint about this hotel is close proximity to a noisy fire station." Full review
Time Out "Tucked in beside Dublin's fire station, the Capital attracts business and leisure travellers in equal numbers." Full review
Star Service "As its name suggests, this city-center hotel is close to Trinity College as well as popular Grafton Street shopping." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Location is all - and the Trinity City is as central as they come, within a few minutes’ walk of key shopping, tourism and business areas, and public transport." Full review
Lonely Planet "Just around the corner from the main entrance to Trinity College, this popular three-star option is a favourite with those looking for comfort and convenience rather than class and style." Full review
