    Nothing to report!

    We had an excellent stay at the Mercantile. I really cannot fault it. Right in the heart of Dublin and a 2 minute walk from the Dublin express drop off stop at Wellington Quay and Temple Bar, plus other places such as Trinity College and Grafton Street a short stroll away. The staff were exceptional and so very helpful, nothing was a problem. Decor was beautiful and finished to a very high standard. We found out the hotel had only just recently reopened after extension refurbishment, and what a great job has been done. We were made to feel welcome from the very moment we walked through the door. Thank you to all the staff. The breakfast was exceptional, and we had dinner one of the nights, which again was lovely.

    The room was small and difficult to manoeuvre with two people.

    Beautiful decor, super friendly and helpful staff -- really clean room, and a spacious bathroom with good water pressure. The location is fantastic for going around Dublin.

    I wish the restaurant (or at least bar food) had been available later.

    The property was very close to the Olympia, where I was seeing a show. A staff member on he Sunday night shift (male with a moustavhe) actually walked me to the theater. I was very afraid I would get lost and miss my friend’s show. He was my hero on Sunday night!

    There wasn't anything that I didn't like. The service and accommodations were amazing.

    The location was fantastic! Within walking distance of all of the sites of interest in Dublin. The hotel has been newly remodeled. The meals were great and the staff was extremely helpful. We will definitely stay here again if we are in Dublin.

    Breakfast is so-so. For the price, I expected the continental breakfast to have more selection.

    The hotel is fairly quiet for Temple Bar. That was a surprise. It is also a large hotel with a lot of lounge/bar space, which is very nice.

    The staff was amazing - SO helpful and with anything I asked for, they expeditiously did it for me. They were able to check me in before 6am with just a small fee, which I appreciated greatly. The whole staff made me feel so taken care of and welcomed! The rooms were perfectly European petite, but still ample space for one person - the bed was very cozy and so cutely decorated - there wasn't a ton of closet space, but I packed light enough for this short trip that that didn't matter. The bathroom was beautiful and shower products so lovely. The bar downstairs was fun at night, too, and I appreciated the extra room attached to the lobby where you could sit with your coffee or afternoon snacks you picked up and hang out. The location was unbeatable, so the price was worth it - a 4 minute walk to Temple Bar, 6 minute walk to Trinity College & Grafton St, right around the corner from the Molly Malone statue (convenient as tons of tours meet there). Other notable sites you can walk to are Guiness (25 min), Teelings/Jameson (21 min) - Kilmanheim Gaol you do need a cab or to get a hop on/off bus for, but overall it's a super walkable city & location.

    Loved the facility overall though the room was quite small. We were fine for four days because we were always on the go (and we get along really well). That being said, it was a lovely stay and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

    Upon arrival we felt both welcomed and cared for. The building inside (and outside for that matter) was very attractive and the location was fabulous. Walking distance to the Temple Bar, Trinity College, The Gaiety Theater, and many options for restaurants. Staff was wonderful.

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    This was our first trip to Dublin on the 17th July 2025. The Mercantile Hotel was perfect for our stay and everything and I mean everything was exemplary. The hotel has recently been refurbished and it has been completed to a very high standard. The room we had was immaculate, comfy bed, good pillows and a great shower. The breakfast was lovely. The staff were all first class. The location of the hotel is perfect for all the attractions, restaurants and bars. We will definitely be back.

    The room is very tight. Just about fits a double bed. Fine for a one night stay but no longer.

    Located in the heart of Dublin and very good value. The €22 breakfast is well worth it so don’t waste time looking for a cheaper option.
