As the many reviews all say, Merchant House provides absolutely first class accomodations. The suites are top notch. What you need to know is that it is situated in the center of Dublin's pub scene and sits between a massage parlor and at sex-toy fetish shop. The neighborhood can be a bit off putting if you think this will be... More

Well....We were greeted by appointment by the most lovely Irish welcome. Our flight was early arriving Saturday before " The Gathering " on Sunday. Our bags were stored safely before checking in at 14:00. We then embarked on what can only be described as MAD ! Temple Bar Dublin the day before St Pat's is really a sight for sore... More

Excellent high end accomodation with all the touches of a boutique hotel only set in a larger space (we stayed in the Oscar Wilde suite) and with far more privacy. There were stairs (3 flights if I recall) leading to the suite but its a 19th Century building so came as no real surprise and this should not put you... More

Wouldn't plan my whole vacation here, but a great place to stay a night or two with your special someone. Nice staff for the most part, clean, cozy (but not tiny), quiet (even though it's in Temple Bar) and comfortable overall. Know that if you stay in the Oscar Wilde suite you have a few floors of very steep stairs... More

Stayed during start of February, Excellent service once checked in, staff couldn't have been more helpful. The services provided by the hotel are next to none, had no issues. Breakfast was lovely during the morning, would recommend to everyone alike, won't disappoint compared to some places I've been before I must say. First class!

I was welcomed by the personnel in a fetish/adult shop which may be a plus if you are not a business/family traveler. They have no facilities so when I needed to use a restroom after a 8+ hrs flight was forced to rent a room at the hotel on the opposite side of the street. They did not accomodate my... More

Dear Guest, as Manager of The Merchant House it is my duty to respond as necessary when Guests do not provide an accourate account of their stay with us. You had a very early flight to Dublin and had arranged with us for a bag drop at 09.00. It clearly states that check in is from 14.00 and by appointment.... More

I think its important to emphasise the fact that this is a serviced apartment without cooking or washing facilities. So if you want a serviced apartment look elsewhere and if you want a hotel with facilities (including reception) you also better look again. The room/ apartment was nice and spacious however its important to emphasise a couple of things that... More
