Great location. Rooms as described, small but user friendly with a great shower and toiletries. Have been 3 times now, will be my go to in the future for a quick Dublin City break.

The kind and generous personnel at the The Marlin Hotel Dublin offer exceptional customer service and attention to detail, always going out of their way to accommodate you. I've stayed here five times this year and have always felt welcomed and truly at home. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have comfortable beds. Conveniently located in the City Centre and to top it all off, it is quiet. All translating to warm, cozy, restful nights of sleep. I highly recommend The Marlin Hotel Dublin!!

Wonderful hotel with a very nice hall and design. The "king room" is an average size room but very comfortable (the bed was amazing) and the bathroom is very functional. The room was also very well cleaned each day and so were the common parts of the hotel.
The check-in an check-out are very fast and precise thanks to the self desks available at the entrance, also very intuitive to use.
The hotel is like at 10 minutes walk from the Liffey river and just a couple of minutes from the St. Stephen's green park and Grafton Street.
I would highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Dublin for the weekend or more!

Great location, friendly staff and comfortable rooms. The food in the restaurant was very good and the bar was fun. The little extras such as the coffee stand made it stand out.

Overall we had a really pleasant stay at this hotel. It’s in a great location, clean rooms with nice toiletries and not much to complain about. However, I would say there is some slightly false advertising which I will address below:
Pros:
- fantastic location in the heart of Dublin
- despite being central the hotel was quiet and we didn’t hear hardly any street noise
- clean and tidy, well stocked and lovely toiletries
- room tidied daily
- good food menu
- air con (although it’s manned - see reviews)
- nice bar area and good bar staff
- stylish lobby area with coffee shop
- cozy king bed - had a good sleep
- perfect for a short stay
- safe luggage storage room
Cons:
- rooms quite compact (good for short stay but perhaps nothing over 3 days due to lack of luggage space)
- advertised as having Netflix but did not
- lobby area advertises pizza until 12am but went down at 10pm and told kitchens were shut
- no room service
- speakers didn’t work
- told we were not allowed to eat in lobby and then saw someone an hour later eating a pizza ordered from Bambino’s (same lady who told us we couldn’t eat ours roaming lobby at same time)
- no lock on bathroom door
Overall, I would recommend the hotel for a short stay in Dublin and would return.

Love the option to check-in at a machine, the cafe in the lobby, and the complimentary water bottles in the room. The common areas are great, very nicely decorated and quite "hip" seeming. There are several elevators that move very quickly, in my four days/three nights stay, I never once had to wait more than a couple seconds for an elevator. The Cozy King Room was very comfortable with a big comfy mattress and nice-sized bathroom. The entire room could've used a deep clean, there was significant mold on the bathroom ceiling around the pot lights and some marks on the wall. The sprinkler on the ceiling was coated in half a centimeter of dust, as was the area behind the TV. I will also note that the room is hardly sound proof, and I was woken up in the mornings by cleaning staff in the neighbouring rooms running vacuums and knocking into walls. I was also woken up by guests speaking in the hallways, not particularly loudly, or music from the bar downstairs (I'm guessing the bar downstairs because I didn't see any bars on the same street corner which could've been producing that much noise). With that said, I enjoyed my stay and would stay again, but do be warned about noise in case you're a light sleeper. I would also love to thank the receptionist Cindy, who picked up the phone when I could not get the Chromecast in my room to work. She tried to help me over the phone, but when I could not get it running, she came up to my room within a minute and helped me get connected. I was seriously impressed by how quickly she was able to help me and how professional she was.
