Loved it.

Fantastic location, easy check-in, spacious room, very clean, comfortable bed, lovely old building well restored.

The only slight downside was the water pressure in the shower, not great. The stairs are narrow and steep so not good for big cases or unfit people.

Location and cleanliness

1.0 / 10.0

false advertisement, barely 2 stars service. Dirty, property owners ignores you during the stay

Spacious room in amazing location if you want to be close to the nightlife.

> Dust everywhere in the room. Our clothes became covered in dust when placed on one of the pieces of furniture (see attached photo). Anyone with a dust allergy would struggle to breathe in this environment. > There was no way to contact the owners for any reason. In case of an emergency, they did not answer the phone. > When I booked, I was charged the full amount. A few days later, I received an email stating that my booking would be cancelled due to a “problem with the payment.” This appeared to be a possible scam attempt, but fortunately Booking.com helped resolve the issue. However, I am still awaiting an invoice for the amount paid. >This is clearly not a five-star premises. Guests are misled into expecting a luxury stay; however, it is evident that the owners have a very different understanding of what “luxury” means. Dusty, poorly maintained furniture does not reflect a high-end or premium standard in any way.

Beautiful building, super comfy bed, spacious, and very responsive hosts

Excellent very friendly communication with the hosts; we’d asked to leave our luggage before and after check in/out and we were told the room was ready early and we left our cases in the hall after check out. We’d asked for the single sofa bed to be made up for my nephew, and it was … lovely bedding on that and the bed, and both were really comfortable with a good choice of pillows. Great central location close to temple bar, but no noise we noticed from the bars (I wore earplugs, my nephew didn’t but slept like a log!) Good WiFi, coffee machine and kettle, with coffee pods and teabags and a mini fridge/mini bar we didn’t use, but there’s space for milk & breakfast bits if you’re staying longer than we did. Lovely big windows which opened for fresh air, and when we got back and closed them, the heating worked quickly and we soon turned it off. Shower and bathroom were very well equipped, clean and spacious … but read on for privacy if you’re not a couple!

There was a stag group staying in the apartment upstairs, not the hosts’ fault at all, but they were quite noisy coming and going. It’s a beautiful old building, so much more character than a hotel room half the size, so just maybe consider earplugs if you’re a light sleeper … the bed is SO comfortable by the way! I was staying a couple of nights with my nephew on a last minute weekend away. The bathroom is lovely, and the glass door and side windows give you a lot of light if you’re a couple, but we were grateful for a double sheet from housekeeping to hang over the door for privacy for both of us! The previous guests had obviously enjoyed a herbal ciggie or two … we let the hosts know just so we didn’t get the blame, but with the lovely big windows, the smell had cleared by the time we got back from a few beers.

Amazing suite in Temple Bar

Fab location in the heart of Temple Bar. My suite was on the top floor. The bed was really comfortable. Everything was super clean. Easy to check in with the instructions provided. And the hosts are just a message away if needed. I would certainly stay here again.

9.0 / 10.0

Would definitely stay again and recommend to others

Great location and a nice clean room! Nice touch with a stocked up fridge filled with cold beverages and a coffee machine on the side. Room was clean and large with comfortable bed.

Music that sounded like it was next door until 1am however it didn’t bother us too much and was expected in that area just a heads up for people who want a quiet one may be worth looking outside temple bar area.

Room is as lovely as it looks in the photos. But it’s not a hotel and the self check in and stairs are difficult

Room was lovely. Location perfect to shops and restaurants.

Check in and stairs unexpectedly challenging. We were presented this room when filtering for a “Hotel”. It is not a hotel. There is no reception or staff to help. It is a self check in affair with 3 different coded door mechanisms. The one on the front door was not obvious to us how to do it. When we called for help we got a voice mail system. We clicked the Merchant House option too be told it is not a valid option, when we clicked the bookings option it rang out unanswered repeatedly. Eventually, soaked from 15 mins in the cold and rain, got in only to be faced with 8 narrow and steep flights of stairs to drag our bags up. We are not young. This was very challenging. There was no warning of any of that during the booking. We were expecting a hotel with reception and lift.

10.0 / 10.0

Very pleasant, clean and comfortable room in an excellent location surrounded by pubs and cafes

Location was excellent for the pubs and nightlife of Temple Bar and convenient for buses to other parts of the city. The room was very spacious, warm and very comfortable. There is a very spacious shower room and all aspects of the room were very clean and tidy. The room was tidied daily with refreshed towels and a made bed to come back to. There is a TV and free WiFi. There is a tea and coffee making station in the room as well as a small fridge and mini bar.

We couldn't fault it -

Great stay at Merchant House

Entry and check in instructions were concise, timely and the process was easy. Early check in and late check out request was granted. Location in the heart of Temple Bar was perfect. Great rooms and facilities. We will definitely stay again when we visit Dublin next year.

Avoid if older or disabled!

Nothing! I strongly suggest anyone with any sort of disability or of older age avoid this 'house' at all costs.

No staff in attendance, guests have to fend for themselves. We had a room on the top floor, up four flights of stairs that were thin and steep. There was no lift. As I have mobility issues, there was no way I could climb the stairs, let alone get our luggage to the room. As a consequence, we decided to forgo our stay at this establishment and booked into a lovely hotel on the other side of the river in the main centre of Dublin. A small side note to the above, this facility is next to a 'fetish' shop that can be a little confronting, especially with some of the patrons we experienced in our very short time there.

10.0 / 10.0

Absolutely wonderful stay.

I loved the location, Dublin was very walkable from the hotel which was great. The room was perfect and had everything we needed. We absolutely loved this stay and will definitely stay again.

Let me preface this by saying this is not a con for me, nor is this something I didn’t like. But this may be a con for others: there is no front desk or someone working. You’re given a code for the doors but if your phone isn’t working, it could be a little complicated. But through no fault of the hotel. This is just something you should be prepared for. Check your app or make sure you can pop in somewhere to get wifi quickly. Because honestly this hotel is a must stay in my opinion.

I think your establishment was deceiving. The directions to get in were also wrong. NEVER AGAIN

The room was clean.

We didn't like that fact that it was a no contact motel, basically. The website made it sounds like someone was going to be there. The worst part was the loud drumming noise from 3:30pm-1:30am NEVER AGAIN. EVER.

Nice stay

Great communication with the host throughout our stay. The location is convenient and central—on the same street as The Temple Bar and only a few minutes’ walk to a Tesco and plenty of restaurants. Our room was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. It also had a nice fridge with complimentary water. The shower was strong and refreshing.

The room was a bit cold at first, but the modern heater provided kept us comfortable.

It was in the heart of Temple so it could be loud, but we enjoyed every minute. We stayed in the OscarWilde suite

The location was in the heart of the Temple and Market districts. Perfect for walking to dinner, music and shopping. Also walking distance to the train and dart.

The stairs! We had the most beautiful room, and unfortunately had large bags from our moto trip prior. It was a feat to get the bags up the narrow stair well. No elevator available.

It was ok - bed wasn't great, stool in bathroom was not clean, toilet not working properly.

Location was good, except for driving there - hard to get down Fleet Street because of pedestrians everywhere. Room was clean.

Toilet didn't work properly Mattress needs to be replaced - sunk down when you sat down on it to get into bed, springs gone.

A perfect night.

Location was excellent. We were allowed to leave our bags in the entry way of the apartments/ rooms. Then getting into the room was just as easy with reliable communication from the owners. The room was to a beautiful standard with a gorgeous en suite.

Only issue was with the heat, but as peak summer, we were provided with a fan which did help a little. Again, not in the property’s control, just something to be mindful of.

Easy access to city center. Spacious room. Good communication with host.

Noise all night. Unable to sleep. Someone Was still playing music when we left at 7:30 am. Didn’t hear it in the Street when we got outside Maybe a tenant?
