Lock in a great price for The Merchant House – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

At the heart of Temple Bar district. Gorgeous, unique property, with imaginative and whimsical decor at every turn. We were in Oscar Wilde Suite. Commodious and comfortable. Sound proofing of doubled-windows kept things quiet. Attentive and professional host and housekeeper met our every need.

Bowmanifesto, United States of America

Cleanliness/ thought of all your away from home needs. It was very comfortable and immaculate . Very well stocked bar and toiletries even included cotton buds. Lively large room with comfortable bed more like a small apartment without the cooking facilities. Perfect .

Pamela, United Kingdom

This is the best value accommodation in central Dublin. I always stay here. It's a secret so keep it between us...

Stephen, Australia

The room was beautiful and the breakfast place was incredible

Laura, United Kingdom

Central Location but was still quite inside suite. Lovely for couples

Rb, Ireland

I booked this property specifically for the location, although I was aware that the downside of this could be the outside noise - I need not have worried. Although I was in the thick of things the soundproofing is 100% Elegantly furnished this was a superb find & I do not think I'll ever use anywhere else in the city centre ( & I was a huge Merrion fan ). As an independent traveller it was wonderful to have all the perks of a hotel with none of the pricing for extras I never require. Love it & will be back.

Margaret, United Kingdom

Great location! We were a little bit worried about noise from reading past reviews, but we had no problems whatsoever. The double pane glass and the heavy drapes completely blocked out any noise. The bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of room. The complementary water and Butler‘s chocolates were fantastic.

Miranda, United States of America

Fantastic space and facilities. Quiet despite being in the center of of temple bar.Breakfast is excellent.

Edward, Ireland

Comfy bed in lovely room. (Bram Stoker room) Great location in temple bar. Got discount rate for parking car in Fleet st car park.

Catherine, Ireland

Very warm greeting on arrival. Beautiful spotlessly clean room with large bathroom with toiletries. Bed very large and comfortable with a choice of pillows. Mini bar which had reasonable prices should you want to use it and also a fridge to keep anything you’ve bought cool. Excellent tea coffee and hot chocolate making. The location was excellent near all shops and bars. Although it was very central the room was really quiet and couldn’t hear the noise outside. I would highly recommend and would certainly stay again if I returned to Dublin.

An Inside Look at The Merchant House

The Merchant House was built in 1720, originally a Merchants House and very early Georgian . The building was extensively restored to its former glory in 2006. An award winning restoration received much acclaim when finished as its 'Dutch' type roof is very unique for a building in Dublin. The upper floors were extended and luxury Guest Suites were provided. Emphasis on conserving heat and the reduction of noise from outside was dealt with.

“Everything, This was and always will be the best place i have ever stayed, The Staff are amazing the rooms was so Beautiful, It looks just like it did on the photos, We stayed in the Oscar Wilde Suit.
