Wedding
Pros:

We just got married last weekend. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our day memorable!
From being greeted by the doormen to the waiters to the house keeping to the chief to the wedding co-ordinator - they were all so approachable, friendly and organised! They all made our day run so smoothly and we are so delighted we chose to have our wedding here!
The service was 10/10 and loved all of the small touches - we felt like royalty!!
Thank you !

Perfect Hotel in a Perfect Location in Dublin
Pros:

The Merrion is that rare hotel that does everything to perfection. Stayed in 20 hotels on this extended trip and the Merrion was the star of them all. From front desk to room service to cleaning of rooms, not a single miss and Patrick Guillaud was amazing!! Our room was gorgeous and kept immaculate with fresh flowers and chocolates daily. A beautiful and most convenient home in Dublin, will always return.

Wonderful stay.
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, staff friendly and accommodating & our suite was gorgeous. Very large suite with 2 rooms, comfortable sofa, 2 chairs, and a very comfortable bed among other beautiful amenities. We had to leave the hotel at 3 am & the staff was so kind and helpful at that time of the morning!
Would likely only choose to stay here if we make another trip to Dublin.

Overall positive experience
Pros:

Really positive experience. Particularly from the first interaction with the concierge. He said that my job now, was to enjoy the experience. Which we did
The receptionist gave us their full attention and explained what was on that evening and made sure we had our reservations for dinner and showed us to our room.
Room was beautiful crystal clean Lennon and spotlessly clean room yet still felt homely.
