Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Merchant House is frequently praised for its superb location, placing guests in the heart of Dublin, steps away from Temple Bar and within easy walking distance of main shops, restaurants, and attractions like Trinity College. Many guests find the rooms spacious and uniquely decorated, some even featuring comfortable beds and well-equipped bathrooms; however, a few guests have reported occasional issues with responsiveness. The building's central position also allows convenient access to grocery stores and the train, making it easy to explore the city.

The room was immaculate and cozy. I particularly loved the Oliver Wilde Suite that overlooks the city. Everything was within easy walking distance because it was centrally located.

The room cleanliness was borderline, I saw some dust in the bathroom.

The location was excellent. I walked almost everywhere I wanted to go. The W B Yeats room was comfortably decorated. It had everything you would need. The bathroom was huge. It was well equipped and well lit.

Dust was EVERYWHERE in the room. My clothes became covered in dust when placed on one of the pieces of furniture. There was no way to contact the owners for any reason. In case of an emergency, they did not answer the phone. When I booked, I was charged the full amount.

The central location allowed easy access to the city. I found a pub just two minutes away. The bed felt great and the bathroom was big. I received answers to my questions quickly.

Dust was present everywhere in my room. Clothes placed on furniture became dusty. I saw no way to contact the owners when needed. There was no one available for any emergency.
