Merrion Square Studios

Although using technology to replace labor can reduce the cost. Without the people around to provide real time quest, it causes some inconvenience. In all the hotel is well maintained, clean, and location is good.

Very convienient pre-check-in but you need to be internet savy and pre-pay deposit etc. Room was very clean, great location.

The check in process is ludicrous. You have to call a call centre in who knows where that you can barely hear to get a code to let you into the building. Once inside there is nowhere to leave your cases or bags and you can’t check in till 4 o’clock so we had no option but to leave them next to a door until our return. In all I made 12 calls trying to sort out check in and the bag fiasco. The room itself was grotty. The walls are all discoloured and the toilet wasn’t cleaned and I don’t know what was on the bed spread but it was brown. In my opinion, don’t bother booking here it’s not worth the hassle, it’s grotty and there are no actual staff to talk to.

We tried to use this accommodation but was not told we needed to pay 100 Eros to get a code to receive the keys. Once this was worked out it took them 3hrs to give this code, by that stage it was 8pm and we had to source other accommodation, and the number on the door isn't contactable nor is the email address

I would rate this place a 1 star on the check in process. No check in counter. It was self check in. I got there and nobody was there. Had to call on my cell phone and probably spent 20 bucks in phone charges trying to get into the building. A few other customers were really unhappy about the check in process also. Part of it was Expedia's fault for not displaying the fine print of self check in on their page. Once i got in to the room i was pleasantly impressed with the room. Clean, comfortable beds spacious. If the check in process was easier i would have rated this place 4 stars. Just beware no hotel clerk will be waiting for you.

The rooms were clean and we didn't need a car. Everything was walkable. the restaurant down the street was so good we ate there three times during our stay. Felt very safe.
