About
The Mercantile Hotel
The Mercantile Hotel sits on Dame Street in the middle of Temple Bar, Dublin’s liveliest quarter. With 28 rooms spread over several floors, it’s a compact property that pairs a sociable bar and restaurant with the kind of personal service that guests repeatedly call out. The hotel is a 14-minute walk from St Michan’s Parish District and close to the shopping streets around Grafton.
Rooms range from cozy doubles up to executive kings, all furnished simply and equipped with air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, and flat-screen TVs. The hotel’s bar and lounge area host live entertainment and a night club, while the restaurant serves breakfast and reasonably priced meals. With a 24-hour reception, express check-in, and tours assistance, it’s set up for both short city breaks and longer explorations.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Facilities score lower than other categories — While rooms and service earn high marks, the hotel’s facilities rating is the weakest area, which may reflect the compact size of the property.
- Live entertainment and night club may mean noise — The hotel features live entertainment and a night club, so light sleepers might find the central bar area lively in the evenings. Requesting a quiet room can help.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, which may be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
