Great location in Dublin. Walkable to so many desired destinations. The rooms are clean and well maintained however the space is very tight. Great for solo travelers but more than a bit tight for more than one arriving with large suitcases. Hotel is great for storing your bags before and/or after check in time.

We chose the cozy King room and it was definitely cozy. It was smaller than a cruise ship room! However, the location was great, the hotel itself was nice and the staff were friendly. We couldn’t figure out how to keep the air conditioner working all night but air conditioning isn’t common in Ireland so I suppose we were lucky to have any at all. I would stay here again but would not choose a room described as cozy!

Pros: excellent and efficient breakfast,
Stunning views if you’re at the top floors,
Excellent location close to the main attractions, excellent shampoo and conditioner, good bed and pillows, quiet room, a nice ground floor.
Cons: can’t open the window so no fresh air, AC switches off automatically in the middle of the night- needs resetting, WiFi in the room is very slow and fades away frequently making any work impossible, the working area at the ground floor is not isolated and gets noisy almost always, the vault is small for ANY laptop or tablet, the tiny storage for pants and shirts can accommodate only 4 hangers (yet only 3 were available). The verdict: Seems to be good for sleeping and sightseeing not if you plan to or need to work at the hotel. The WiFi is not protected well and it’s speed is below any expectations.

We had a very enjoyable stay. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman at the front desk, who went above and beyond to assist us. We initially had an issue with our room and the bed size, but he immediately arranged for us to move to another room with the correct bed size and also away from the lift, which made a big difference to our stay.

The hotel’s location is excellent—right in the heart of the city, yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle, making it both convenient and peaceful. I would happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others.

We had a great stay for 8 nights. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. The room was very comfortable and the food at the restaurant and cafe were great. The location was exceptional. We walked everywhere. The only negative was the cost of parking. They do not have parking on site but there is a Q park directly across the street. Even with the discount the cost was 30 Euro a night but this is similar to a lot of the hotels in D trying Dublins City Centre. We would stay there again

This was perfect for a single traveler spending time in city center; a comfy bed, nice shower, WiFi, and bar/restaurant. Everything was sparkling clean, staff were very friendly. I like the options for early check-in and check out. The lobby was a good place to hang out if you wanted more space. You could get almost total darkness with the blinds and curtain that was operated by a switch, so sleep was no issue. I would definitely stay here again.

This was a great hotel to rest & reset between activities! A nice quiet location but perfectly walkable to so many great parts of Dublin. The staff are pretty hands off but were helpful at the front desk if needed. The room's AC could be better, it would shut off randomly & the room would get so hot (or would be too cold, no in between!) The maids also wouldn't replenish the same amount of towels so had to ask for extras a few times. But overall, a great hotel experience!

Beds seemed old, bowed in the middle.
Rooms seem to take a while to clean durring the day and always missed something I.e coffee cups not cleaned, towels not replaced when requested etc. Rooms are smaller and ours had a very small window, claustrophobic. Was to have 2 lounge chairs from photo, ours had only 1. Our room did not have any luggage racks but they did find us one.
Breakfast was a BIG no, not worth price, we did not eat there.

The check in was like check out at a grocery store. Not very personable or user friendly after a long flight. There was no toilet paper roll. You just set it somewhere. There are no towel racks. Not very environmentally aware. No mechanism for saving a towel to use again. House keeping just changes them all. Also got rid of a nearly full roll of toilet paper and replaced it.

The Marlin Hotel was a great base of operations for our stay in Dublin. The location was excellent, and we were able to walk almost anywhere we wanted to go, which made sightseeing very easy. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the additional cost for early check-in was reasonable and worth it after traveling.

Our only real issue was that the room became quite warm at night, which made sleeping a little less comfortable. Other than that, we had no problems and enjoyed our stay. Overall, it was a convenient, comfortable hotel in a very walkable location, and we would consider staying there again.

Hotel is well located on the west side of downtown and across the street from a car park for anyone who has a car. The hotel on the surface looks well maintained but the housekeeping is terrible. In our room, there was mildew and bacteria stains in the grout and in the inside and outside corners of the shower. The sheer curtains wouldn’t pull close. The housekeeper had tucked half of the mattress pad between the two double beds instead of pulling it across the whole bed - I had to strip the bed and remake it to avoid sleeping directly in the mattress. There was a used band aid sitting on the carpet next to the trash can.

In our daughters’ room, the housekeeper didn’t tuck in any of the sheets and they found a fake nail sitting on the carpet.

Thought the hotel could offer complimentary coffee in the lobby as they don't let you check in early. Well, they do offer it at 4 euro a cup....

The hotel itself is very clean, but the housekeeping isn't great. We were there for 10 days and ended up putting 3 bags of garbage out ourselves as it was overflowing and never collected. The bathroom wasn't really cleaned either. Basically, they came in threw the blankets up and that was about it. Although rooms are not overly big, the location is great.

This came to light about 20/30mins after my leaving so immediately I phoned the hotel whereby the chambermaids where still in the room and the watch located even told it had a green bezel .

This was obviously great news and proceeded to arrange how I could retrieve it or could they post it and I would cover the charge etc , well all this never materialised and no emails or phones call from THE MARKIN HOTEL

Smelled weird. The AC in the room would not stay on during the night. We were told it was Irish Law to turn if after 11pm but they could turn it in for us if we requested. There is no such law. We did request that it be turned on but it turned off every 1.5 hours and would get extremely hot, I had to get up and turn it back on multiple times. Very frustrating for such an expensive hotel. Breakfast not worth the money, eat somewhere close by and local for better for at a much lower price.
When the AC was mentioned to the staff at checkout we were told a different story about it shutting off 4 times a day but nothing explainable about it repeatedly shutting off at night.
I wouldn’t stay here again. We had 5 nights at another hotel that were much better.

First of all when we arrived around 6.00pm and was given the key of our room the room had not been done. We had to go have dinner while they were cleaning our room. The air conditioner didn't work and no windows that open up. We signaled it to the front desk and only on the 5th day, technicians showed up and looked at it and said they had to go on the roof and they will be back.They never did and the air conditioner never got fixed. Same story with the phone. It never worked and couldn't call front desk from it.
The restaurant had a limited menu and the service was terrible. They had the staff but they kept socializing between themselves instead of checking on us.
The day before our departure when we returned at 6.00pm the cleaning of our room hadn't been done. The bed had not been made, the toilet was dirty , the floor not vacuumed or bathroom floor not mopped , our dirty cups and glasses hadn't been replaced.
We stand in this hotel 6 nights and they never changed bedding.
I wouldn't recommend this hotel to my worse enemy.
