Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

I was disappointed with my stay at the Marlin Hotel. The room was extremely small, with no space to move comfortably. The windows cannot be opened, which made the atmosphere stuffy and uncomfortable. Cleanliness was also an issue – I found hair on the floor, which made the room feel poorly maintained. For the price, I expected higher standards of comfort and hygiene. The central location is convenient, but overall, the experience did not meet expectations.

The bed took up most of the room, but the space was compact, clean, and served its purpose well. I must say, the bed was impressively large. It could probably fit three adults comfortably! 😂 The bathroom had body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. I'm not sure if items like a toothbrush were available on request, as I had my own and didn’t need to ask. The location is excellent, very close to St. Stephen’s Green and in a safe area. The little café kiosk in the lobby serves the best hot chocolate! I did experience some internet issues from nighttime until the next morning, but the person in charge addressed my concerns, so I can’t complain too much. Breakfast was simple but satisfying, offering cereals, a small selection of pastries, and hot items like eggs, hash browns, sausages, mushrooms, and toast. There were also fruits and yoghurt available and also hot drinks and orange juice.Personally, I found it good value for €20 as it likely would’ve cost more to go out and order just a pastry and a hot drink elsewhere outside the hotel. Overall, it was a quirky and good hotel. What you see is what you get, so before booking, do your own research.

Functional and central. Cost little room but clean and welcoming. Good for a business travellers or a short city break

Easy seld check in, convenience location, decent room size. Good to short stay

I stayed at the Marlin Hotel Stephens Green for a few nights and really enjoyed it. The location is perfect — easy to walk pretty much everywhere, and close to shops, transport, and places to eat. The room was clean and comfortable, and everything felt modern and well maintained. Service was great too — staff were friendly and quick to help with anything I needed. Overall, an excellent stay. I’d definitely come back next time I’m in Dublin!
