Mercantile Hotel, Dublin

The hotel is in a buzzing area close to all main spots in the 'purple district' of Dublin. The rooms are basic but clean and have enough amenities for a comfortable stay. The service here is really friendly and helpful, giving good tips for solo travelers. The dining experience had some issues with special dietary requirements, but the varied menu and discounted options were a plus. The location is unbeatable for exploring Dublin's key attractions. Price-wise, it offers good value for the prime location.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was terrible, with things breaking and a noisy environment from start to finish. It was also small for the high price paid. However, the staff were extremely friendly and nice, making up for the disappointing room experience. The location was very convenient, being close to Temple Bar and other attractions, but the noise at night was a downside. The dining experience was decent, although there were some issues with the presentation of the food. Overall, it was an okay stay with some notable drawbacks.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and warm, with a lovely bath and good size, but unfortunately, they were extremely noisy which made it hard to sleep with live music and street noise. The service was absolutely amazing, with staff going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and organized great events. The location was fantastic, right in the centre of Dublin, although being on top of a pub added to the noise levels. The dining experience was a disaster with undercooked pancakes and stale coffee, a real letdown. Overall, the facilities were nice, but the noise was a big issue for me.

The hotel is perfectly situated, extremely close to Temple Bar and many tourist spots, making it a prime location. The rooms, though a bit basic and dated, are kept clean. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff being lovely and helpful while others were not as accommodating. The dining options varied from poor quality to good, with some unnecessary wastage in terms of presentation. The noise level due to the bustling surroundings could be a downside for families.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was incredible, right in the heart of Dublin surrounded by plenty of pubs and restaurants, but the noisy night and basic, old-fashioned room made for a slightly disrupted experience. The service was efficient with quick check-in and handy bag storage, although not overly friendly. Dining offered delicious options but with a bit of a delay. Overall, a mixed bag worth considering due to the unbeatable location.

The hotel is situated in a bustling area, above the hotel's restaurant and pub, providing spacious and comfortable rooms despite some street noise and warmth due to adjacent bars. The service was exceptional, accommodating special requests for a balcony section and organizing a delightful drinks reception for our gathering. The location is perfect for exploring historical sites but could be noisy due to single-glazed windows. The dining experience surpassed expectations with high-quality cooked-to-order meals, though limited by weekend entertainment. The facilities overall were satisfactory.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were making noise all night, and they could do with more lights, even though they were lovely. It was all right but not great for the price.

The hotel is centrally located in the heart of vibrant Dublin, making it perfect for exploring the city, but noise from nearby bars can disturb your rest. The rooms are in need of some maintenance and can get warm, forcing you to keep the windows open. The service is friendly and accommodating, though staff availability can impact quick assistance. While the dining experiences are varied, dining options nearby offer diverse choices to compensate. The hotel offers great access to Temple Bar and surrounding attractions, but the cost may not match the experience entirely.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. Despite being above a busy pub on a lively street, I found the rooms clean and surprisingly quiet enough without needing earplugs. The highly central location is great, but be prepared for some street noise. The service was accommodating, with helpful staff charging my phone, and the dining was average at best. Overall, it was an okay stay considering the price and the convenient location.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and warm, with a lovely bath and a good size. However, they could do with a bit of refurbishment, and the noise level from the street was noticeable from early morning. The hotel was generally clean but in need of some updates, with cracked tiles, moldy grout, and old leak stains on the ceiling.
