The Merchant House

The Merchant house is a hidden gem. when we arrived a very polite lady greeted us and made us feel very welcome. She took our bags to our room while we parked the car. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted in Dublin as it was soo central.

The parking was a bit far especially with traffic.

Location

I am a big guy and the shower was hard to use

The room itself is a hidden gem. From the outside it seems like it might have been a bad decision to stay here but once inside the entrance door and in the room itself we were taken aback by the attention to detail and how nice and clean it was, and very centrally located. Our housekeeper was lovely and very helpful too.

The location is great being so central to Temple Bar area, but this was also a negative as it was incredibly noisy during the night from revellers inn nearby pubs and clubs until 5am in the morning and then even in the morning with a lot of building activity. So you would need a good drink to sleep through! Which is a shame because we would certainly stay again if it was not for this, sometimes location can be a blessing and a curse! The shower doesn't get you very wet either and so a newer model would fit the rest of the property a lot better.

The room was absolutely stunning and the location was perfect. Housekeeping were so so friendly. Overall was amazing.
