I stayed two nights at O'Shea's Merchant, and while the location was great for exploring Dublin, the accommodations left much to be desired. The staff were friendly and created a warm atmosphere, but the room itself was in poor condition. The breakfast options were limited, and some items lacked flavor. Overall, I'd say this place is primarily suited for those just looking to crash after a long day. 😕🍀

I spent three nights at O'Shea's Merchant, and I really enjoyed the location. the atmosphere was lively and genuine, just like an Irish pub should be. The noise from the pub kept me awake until the early hours, which might be an issue for some, but it didn't bother me at all. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

I had a mixed experience at O'Shea's Merchant. On one hand, the location is fantastic for exploring Dublin, and the staff were quite friendly and helpful. But on the other hand, the room was tiny with limited pillows and towels, and I had a noisy night due to a tribute band. Overall, it seems you get what you pay for.

The room facilities could've been better; the ancient television and small bathroom were real drawbacks, making the stay less comfortable.

I recently spent two nights at O'Shea's Merchant. While the location is fantastic for exploring Dublin, the condition of the rooms left much to be desired. The staff were friendly and the pub atmosphere was vibrant, but the overall cleanliness and breakfast options were disappointing.

The room I stayed in felt quite shabby with a musty smell. The carpet was dirty, and the bathroom was cramped. There was no duvet, just worn overblankets, which didn't help the comfort level.

My stay at O'Shea's Merchant was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, allowing me to easily explore Dublin, but the overall condition of the hotel definitely needs some work. The noise from the live music bar below was a bit much at times, especially with a broken window that didn't close properly. On the plus side, I did enjoy the friendly service from the staff and the lively pub atmosphere, which made for a unique experience.
Rooms
5.0
The rooms were pretty basic and had an old-fashioned vibe, which wasn't exactly cozy. With some musty blankets and flat pillows, it wasn't my ideal sleeping arrangement. Plus, the noise from the pub below vibrated through the walls, which could be a bit disruptive.
Service
6.0
The service was friendly, though it felt a bit stretched with just one staff member juggling multiple roles. I appreciated the quick responses to my needs, but it did lack a certain personal touch at times.
Location
8.0
The location is where this place shines. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Temple Bar area and many other Dublin attractions. I could easily walk to places like St. Patrick's Cathedral and Trinity College, which made my trip super convenient.
Dining
5.0
I was hoping for a tasty breakfast, but I had an oily fry-up that was hard to enjoy. On one occasion, my boiled eggs just never showed up. Thankfully, the pub food seemed to be a hit with others, so maybe I just picked the wrong things to eat.
Facilities
5.0
Facilities were pretty basic and didn't really exceed expectations. The amenities felt outdated and could definitely use an upgrade to match the price point.
