It's worth recommending. The room is very new. The breakfast is delicious. The service staff are very good. It's just that the UnionPay card in the hotel cannot be used by the machine. It's next to the river. There is a supermarket and a restaurant next door. The slippers are also very good and very soft

Staff on check in and out excellent -could not have ben friendlier, Hotel decor really cool. Room absolutely lovely -plus very quiet-decor superb, great tv channels, great lighting etc. Only issues were with Wifi ( hard to connect -then in the morning no wifi) -Aircon very noisy -its Ireland so not necessary anyhow-switched off and opened window. I did not eat in the Hotel as had travelled from Asia and on a different time zone food wise--but food menu looked superb and reasonably priced. I will stay there again

The Merrion is a Hallmark of service and sheer quality. We arrived to be greeted by a friendly concierge and the news that our room had been upgraded to a junior suite. Lunch in the Cellar bar was an absolute joy and friendly, well clued in staff made the experience more special. The room was fabulous, with every comfort you could imagine. The bed was so comfortable, as were the couches.I cannot speak too highly about the service at this wonderful hotel.

This is the hotel I chose when I went to Dublin in the past two years. The room is big enough for Europe. The Italian restaurant in the hotel is also delicious. I highly recommend it. It is a hotel like a manor. You can see the rainbow and the sea.

This hotel is the best hotel in Dublin. It is said that the Prime Minister also stayed in this hotel when he visited Ireland. The environment of the hotel is very good, and the lobby is decorated in a grand manner. The bedding in the room is very comfortable, and the bathroom is not big but very convenient, comfortable and clean. The lighting is not very glaring, and the hair dryer is not in the bathroom. There is a mirror in front of the desk in the room, so you can sit in front of the desk and blow your hair in front of the mirror, which is quite user-friendly. It is surrounded by the embassy district of Dublin, which is safe and quiet. It is a hotel worth staying in.

My husband and I was greeted by a warm and friendly night auditor, Mr Yassin, who assisted us and made our check-in very smooth. The other staff at the reception and the housekeeping lady we met were also helpful. Our queen room is nicely decorated, with good amenities and overlooking the river. The bed is comfortable but the pillows were too soft. Overall, we enjoyed our one night stay at the hotel!

The hotel is located in a very convenient yet quiet place. Easy walk to all the tour sights. We did encounter some booking problems. On trip.com website we booked a room with 1 queen bed and 1 twin bed room but when we arrived at hotel, it only showed 1 queen bed room in their system, hotel agreed to add a twin bed for us however, it took 3 calls and few hours until the bed appeared. Breakfast is great and hotel common area is beautiful.

The hygiene is acceptable. The hotel parking lot is not easy to find. It is in the middle of the building and the parking lot is free. The room does not provide water, disposable slippers, toothbrushes and other items. There is a convenience cabinet in the rest area where you can buy snacks and drinks. Due to the geographical location, the center of the square can be noisy in the middle of the night, but it is generally okay.

We had a pleasant stay at the Leonardo Hotel on Parnell Street. Though we couldn’t check in a couple of hours early upon our noon arrival, late in the evening when we checked in, we appreciated the thoughtful birthday surprise for my daughter—balloons, chocolates, and wine were a lovely touch. The room was clean and quite spacious, with comfortable beds and a powerful shower. The central location is excellent for exploring the area. The hotel’s lobby decorated for Christmas made the place looking festive. We’re hoping to enjoy the breakfast before we check out!

There is no commercial facilities around the hotel, but there is a golf course nearby. There is a park about 500 meters away. The environment is beautiful, comfortable, pleasant and very quiet. The hotel breakfast is very rich and the coffee tastes good. The gym is well-equipped and the swimming pool is clean. The room is clean and tidy, with bottled water. The front desk service attitude is good, and the restaurant service is warm, thoughtful and meticulous. I will definitely stay here next time.

I stayed for 3 weeks at the generator. Hostel is very nice, each bed had 2 power points and a light which was great. I had a private ensuite in the room but the toilet broke twice and was actually one of the most difficult toilets to flush I have ever encountered. Other bathrooms available in the basement were dirty always. They also had renovations going while I stayed which made noise an issue some days. They had too many children staying who often ran around the bar area screaming which was highly unenjoyable. It had agood bar there but prices went up halfway through my stay. It has a good variety which food on offer was good and typical pub food. I wish they had a kitchen for guests to use, but there were many good food options around and several grocery stores too. They had event search night but I didn't partake in them and security worked the door during the night on weekends and often during the day. You could walk almost anywhere or the tram was a close walk also. Close to some great pubs such as the cobblestone. Generator is more of a party hostel than other places Ive stayed Is a recommend.

I was impresssed by the friendly welcome I was given at reception. Although I knew I couldn't book in till 2pm, I went early in the hope of them looking after my case. Not only do they do this for no extra charge but I was allowed into my room at 11.30am as it had been vacated. The hotel is in an excellent location for sightseeing as Christchurch and St Patrick's Cathedral are within 5 mins' walk and Dublin Castle and the Esther Beatty exhibition, which is not to be missed, is just round the corner. The room facilities were excellent with air conditioning unit, fridge, safe, coffee and tea making equipment, an iron and hairdryer and of course constant hot water for a shower. Downstairs there was a restaurant and bar available with music in the evening, which stopped at a reasonable time. Breakfast was also served in the morning, simple but enough. It was well worth the price charged simply because of its location.
