Top Merrion Square Hotel Reviews

Temple Bar Hotel Dublin by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"we arrived early checking in to the hotel but the front desk allowed us to check in early if we signed up for their rewards program. the hotel was in a very good location that seemed to be close to a lot of pubs and restaurants. it was also right across from a grocery store. the front desk was helpful whenever we needed anything."

The Merrion

8/10 Good

"The room was very nice, clean and beds were very comfortable. We had a great dinner at the Garden Room. The disappointing part was the gym and spa. The gym is small with a very crowded weights area and the ‘’spa’ is a pool, a sauna that fits two people and a steam room that wasn’t steamy and needed cleaning. Part of the reason we booked the hotel was for the spa and gym."
