Beautiful property. Wifi was not great in our room. Good location for Temple Bar but a bit loud as everyone leaves at night. Expected though for the area. Would stay again though as staff was great and it is a beautiful well located hotel. Typical European sized rooms (small).

The room was nice, but the bathroom designer should be sent back to architectural school. The bed was comfortable, but unless you like something akin to a bag of sand, I’d suggest bringing your own pillow. The staff were delightful, and special kudos to the world’s best doorman.

The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The location is great it’s close to the temple bar area, Dublin castle, Trinity College, Molly Malone statue and most of the tours I did were within walking distance. The only downside is the rooms are small and limited closet space.

This hotel was just beautiful! Great location just a block from Temple Bar. The staff greeted us at the door and John helped us with our bags. We asked for early check in and we waited a short time and gave us our room. The room was a twin. Nice size as well. I loved that we could hook up my Netflix. We ate in the restaurant that last night were there. It was lovely. I would recommend the Merchantile to anyone that wants be in the city center
