Where to stay

Choose the base before the bedroom

Choose the part of the trip you want to make easy: the central museums, a Pearse-side rail outing or a Heuston arrival. Then compare the room that fits your party.

Three bases, three reasons

The Merrion is on Upper Merrion Street opposite Government Buildings. The Alex is on Fenian Street near Merrion Square and Pearse Station. Ashling is on Parkgate Street with Heuston and Luas nearby. Start with the base that suits the largest part of your stay.

Our recommendation depends on the route

For a museum-led first visit, begin with the central south-city options. If rail arrival at Heuston or a western chapter shapes the stay, compare Ashling. Check the journey from each hotel to your main booking before settling on the area.

Choose the actual room

At The Merrion, distinguish Main House from Garden Wing. At The Alex, choose the bed arrangement and confirm any connecting combination. At Ashling, ask for the bathroom configuration and access details you need. A category name does not confirm availability, occupancy or an accessible room.

Before payment

Check the final room, meal inclusions, cancellation deadline, deposit, taxes and any access arrangements against the specific rate. Confirm breakfast and refund terms for the room you actually choose.
