The friendliness of staff, comfort in public areas, beautiful gardens and excellent housekeeping. Continental breakfast was rather limited in the savoury section but generally good. Bar and Drawing room staff excellent.

The Merrion is a Beautiful Hotel and worthy of its 5 Stars. The Gardens, Pool, Drawing Rooms, Restaurants & Bars all await behind the deceptive facade of the Georgian Buidling. It is a Treasure in Dublin City with courteous professional Staff that make the very pleasant athmosphere that follows you through the Buidling.

Wonderful atmosphere and staff service and the spa is well worth a visit. Although the service in the Cellar Restaurant was excellent, the food was unremarkable.
