Loved by The Merchant House guests
"Even though you're in the heart of vibrant Temple Bar area of Dublin, there's minimal noise disturbance due to the extra internal glazing."
"We enjoyed the rustic aesthetic; it feels like the 1900's when you walk into the room."
"The decor of our room was tastefully decorated me with lovely added features like complimentary water and coffee."

double paned windowsexcellent locationunclear instructionunsecured hallway
our room had double paned windows , so street noise was not an issue. the location was excellent , very close to pubs and restaurants.
it was difficult to find the entrance , there were not enough instructions provided. the bag drop off area was in an unsecured hallway , i did not feel completely safe leaving my belongings there.

excellent locationclean roomcomfortable bedbroken toiletbuilding noiseunstocked minibar
The location was excellent. I found parking easy, with a discount it was 21 euros a day. The room was well appointed. It was clean, unique, and spacious. The bed was comfortable.
The toilet seat felt as though it would break. There was noise from others in the building. I found not enough instruction in how to enter the building. The minibar was unstocked of what it said on the price list above the fridge.

the location worked well, allowing me to walk everywhere. the bed was comfortable. the room was spacious and clean, though, it felt a bit impersonal.
the check-in process was unexpectedly challenging. there was no reception or staff available to assist, an issue. i contacted the hotel about parking, but i didn't receive a reply until my check-out day, too late.
