I have stayed in a lot of hotels around Dublin but I have to say this is by far the best quality, price & location. Located right next door to the Stephens Green shopping centre, parking is available in the college of surgeons at a reduced rate.

Rooms are spotless & spacious, beds are comfortable, staff are friendly & helpful. What more can you ask for?!!

Ironically, I was at the Mercer Hotel twice in 2010 during highly unusual times – first in April when the Iceland volcano erupted, and in December when an abnormal amount of snow drenched Dublin. The attentiveness of the staff was unprecedented to ensure my stay was comfortable both times, and these phenomenal staff made what could have been horrendous situations, quite tolerable. Both visits were for business, but the location of this property is ideal for business as well as pleasure. It is within walking distance of pubs, restaurants, shopping, etc. (and garage parking for the car is essentially on property). The continental breakfast is adequate to start the day, but if one prefers a more substantial breakfast, restaurants are only a few steps away. The staff are absolutely amazing!! On extremely short notice, the GM of the hotel arranged for a conference room for our small group, and ensured we were accommodated adequately throughout our stay. Moreover, the front desk, housekeeping, and bar staff were amazingly helpful, friendly, and truly helpful in accommodating any requests. Two thumbs up to Mercer Hotel!

I stayed here for three nights midweek. An excellent price for a hotel so central to everything. I had room only rate so I can't comment on breakfast but being so near everything meant there was no shortage of places to grab a snack. Lovely girl, sarah I think, on reception. Parking is quite inexpensive considering you are in the city centre and is right beside the hotel in a multi storey car park. I was given a double room which, whilst not very stylish, was very comfortable and had enough tv channels for me a tv addict like me! The bathroom was fine although the first time I ran the shower, i had to leave it running for about 10 minutes to heat up! after that it was fine! I slept well but had earplugs with me (advisable in any hotel in Dublin city centre!!) It doesn't advertise itself as a five star hotel so don't expect it to be but it is fine as a base in the city.

great location, decent room, great bed, BUT all I will remember about this hotel is that it had a terrible continental breakfast with no options. I was/am genuinely stunned that an Irish hotel only provides a continental (& very poor) breakfast. The owners / manager should be ashamed!
