Mercantile Hotel  

A friendly welcome & handy city centre location. Adequate tea/coffee making facilities.

A very dark hotel. Even the bedroom was exceptionally dark. It was impossible to read with no overhead light & only 3 tiny lamps with dark red shades. Reading would only have bben possible in the bathroom or under the overhead light just inside the main door! Handles were broken off 2 drawers & just left inside the drawer. On a Sunday night, the street outside was very noisy thru half the early morning, what with other bars & hotels nearby and a taxi-rank just outside. Buses pulling up outside sounded like aircraft landing, when trying to sleep overhead! Bring earplugs!!

Fab location, busy bar.

Room not big enough for three sharing, noisy.

Location to central Dublin and the convenience of a bar and restaurant attached to hotel for short stayers. Great location if you are going to 'party' in Dublin

Booking.com advised that the room would contain either a queen or king bed and a hair dryer as standard. The room contained neither a queen/king bed or a hairdryer and only had a small double bed. Way too small for mature adults. Food in the restaurant was tasty but needed to be served hotter. The breakfast was nothing special and service would have been if we were asked if jwe wanted juice or tea/coffee

This hotel was perfect! Its in a perfect location right in the Temple Bar Area and within short walking distance to all the sights in Dublin. The breakfast in the morning always hit the spot and a very friendly staff greeted you with a smile. The hotel and bar are really beautiful and lots of fun.

There's really nothing about the hotel I didn't like. However if you are looking for a nice quiet hotel this is not the place for you. Temple Bar is a very hopping spot with all the great pubs and the party goes all night and into the early 4am morning. Both sides of the streets the hotel is on has lots of pubs and street noise. But the rooms are very nice~

Very good location!

Noisy.

Very nice and helpful staff Delicious breakfast Comfortable room Charming bar area Great location

Room was a bit noisy though (windows overlooking the street)

Receptionist very good

Room tired looking, window was unable to be closed properly, very noisy from traffic noise from dame street

Mercantile hotel was in a fantastic location for Temple bar. The staff were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Bar area in the hotel was very nice and once again friendly staff.

Location, atmosphere, price, friendly staff. And their by locals popular pub & restaurant.

It is noisy, even on the 4th floor at the backside. But it's cheerful noise: music and young people enjoying a night out.

the location was good. the hotel is very geared around the bars and live entertainment. it is basically a huge bar with rooms above. the hotel was not clean both in respect of facilities and decor. i was booked for bed and breakfast, but when i went down first morning the receptionist was rude and told me that nobody gets breakfast as part of the deal and that i would have to pay extra. fortunately i had a hard copy of my booking with me! the food was poor and the crockery etc was not clean.the noise at night made it difficult to sleep.

Central Location. Cheap.

Friendly and welcoming staff.

If you want a hotel near the main attractions of Dublin you cant really beat this hotels location. Staff are great and open to talk with, friendly. The hotel has a great bar on the ground floor with live music pretty much every night. They also do great food during the day. We stayed Monday to Thursday as we're not big drinkers and wanted to go when the city is at it's least crazy! I would stay here again. It is in the city centre, so be ready for an interrupted sleep at night! lol

We didn't use ear plugs but you might want to. The Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, we were woken around 07:30 by the banging of keg's, as the brewery were re-stocking the cellars of three bars in the back street behind the hotel. The clanging goes on for over an hour and is quite annoying! Ear plugs will fix this no doubt, but we just got up anyway. Someone tried to enter our room at 03:00 and woke me up. I spoke to the drunk man through the closed door, he thought this room was 108 but it was 208. He apologised, and the issue was resolved before i really woke up. Some drama out in the street below woke us at 3am on another night. It is the city centre, so if you don't want these issues, go out of the city centre.
