Summary: Nice place and location but lack of small attentions as you would get in such hotels usually which makes it very impersonal.
Kim Aug 7, 2026 01:52:35 AM
Summary: Our stay at the Merrion was magnificent. The property and its amenities-steam room, pool, sauna--were spectacular and afternoon tea was an event to be remembered. We were so glad we chose to spend our last few days in Ireland at this wonderful oasis.

Denise May 27, 2026 05:26:31 AM
Summary: Beautiful well appointed hotel in a central location. There is nothing to fault. All the staff were incredibly friendly and professional and made you feel extra special. Our room, overlooking the gardens, was spotlessly clean with plenty of amenities, facilities and toiletries. Breakfast was pricey, but delicious and plentiful. We didn’t have any spa treatments, but my husband did use the pool which was large enough to do laps. A wonderful hotel and cannot wait to return.

Anthony May 8, 2026 07:22:26 PM
