What a sweet spot for a couple of nights stay. The location is perfect. Pubs all around, great walking distance from the tourist spots. No issues with the hotel. The breakfast was grand, rooms comfortable and clean, hotel staff were friendly enough. We arrived early and our rooms were not ready yet. No problem, the hotel team checked us in, stored our luggage and off we went for a pint till our rooms were ready.  First Guinness for the trip. Can't wait for the next trip. We will most definitely be booking with them again.

This is the sweet spot where you want to be. South African family trip.

Extremely convenient small hotel, in easy walking distance toi dozens of pubs and other nightlife, Trinity College, great shopping, and bus connections.  Happily accessible via lift to rooms above the hotel's restaurant and pub, with its main entrance on Dame Street.  Room was comfortable and picturesque, but small as B&B rooms often are.  Desk service was available 24 hours and very helpful.  The ONLY downside is our room faced The Trinity Bar across the street; a very touristy venue with a mighty sound system.  "Whiskey in the Jar," no matter how well performed, gets tiresome on the third or fourth hearing at 10:30 PM.

Convenient and affordable but you WILL hear music

We decided to stay in town when we were in Christmas shopping and we booked the mercantile as the location is so central and it was a great price for a Saturday night. Hotel was very clean, rooms are basic but comfortable and clean with lots of toiletries, slippers etc. Staff were really lovely. Every one of them couldn't have been nicer. Will defo stay there again

Last minute stay at a great price

The room was clean but shabby. they included breakfast but not in the price. Expect to pay 10 euros for breakfast whether you eat or not. The second morning we left for the airport before breakfast was served and we were still charged. So expect to add 10 euros to each nights stay.

The hotel was noisy.

Stayed with family on a Monday night. Staff were very friendly, and always said “hello” and “goodbye” when passing reception.
Rooms were exceptionally clean. Lovely comfy beds, and bathroom linen and amenities well stocked. Ideally located for where we needed to be for an event nearby, 

However, a few problems! Every door in our room (room, bathroom and wardrobes) all very squeaky! A drop of oil would easily fix this!

As the rooms face Dame Street and the windows are not double glazed, then the noise is exceptionally loud- all night! None of our party slept! The hotel did provide complimentary ear plugs which were sadly no use! I know its in the heart of Dublin but it does need something long term! Floorboards also very noisy which is a disturbance to us but i’m sure also to anyone below/ next door. 

Also, the breakfast was, a disaster! We were asked for our room number as usual, but as we were leaving, the waiter presented us with a bill! I assured them we had paid for B&B! We went to reception and this was confirmed! Embarrassing for staff and ourselves! Perhaps the waitress should have check with reception before we left to avoid this embarrassing situation! 

We ordered breakfast. Tea was left in pots on the table which was very good but I asked for coffee! One small cup and I had to ask for refills- often waiting for staff to be free to do this. Perhaps putting a coffee pot on the table would resolve this?

There was no fruit salad, or fruit! No cereals which many people now expect!

The cooked breakfast was the worst part! All of us received burnt bacon! (see pictures!) One sent theirs back and it was done perfectly! In all my travels, I’ve never seen watered down beans! Thats what they appeared to be! Porridge ordered was also very poor! Toast was one slice cut in half! 

For what we paid for the rooms, and for the sleepless night and poor breakfast it certainly was not any value for money! 

A pity as it is a lovely hotel, very clean with very friendly staff! I hope the hotel doesn’t see this as a criticism- more-so honest feedback from customers who can see easy ways to improve their services to future customers! 

Clean but noisy hotel

The room was basic ( definitely did not get the rooms in the photos)  but relatively clean. The location IS very convenient BUT with single glazed windows laying in bed sounds as though you are in the middle of a football match and continues until 3.30am. The hotel has a few problems which I appreciate some of which are out of their control, ie the constant smell of urine in the staircase coming from the alley outside but I would have expected more for the price we paid. 
I would not recommend this hotel to families.

Convenient location BUT do not expect to sleep !

I stayed with mercantile hotel for about 4 days in Dublin and the receptionists were all helpful and so friendly, they offered me a lot of tips for exploring the city and the food in the restaurant was delicious! My favorite dish from them is Guinness beef pie , it goes so well with a pint of Rockshore Irish lager! Definitely will come back to this hotel whenever I’m in Dublin!

Wonderful experience in the center of Dublin

Hi there - the location of this hotel is perfect.  The staff are friendly and the rooms are to an acceptable standard.  However, I would warn that because of the age of the building and its location alongside Dame Street (a very busy road) and its being in the heart of busy pubs and musical venues - the rooms are noisy.  If staying, request a room at the back of the hotel.  The rooms that face onto Dame Street are very noisy indeed.  Overall - in terms of location it is perfect.  If some noise does not bother you - then I would recommend staying here.

Great location, friendly staff - but noisy

Room at top unbearably hot. Even after leaving window as open as far as it would go for the evening. It was much, much cooler outside. TV unplugged but not obvious. Bath won't fill as taps dislodge the most cheap and nasty plug. Room tired and scruffy. Noisy. Bitten in the night by something and can hear rats in the ceiling. Great location but avoid. Not cheap either for what you get. £118!

Not great

Lovely old hotel in the best location suited us fine decent sized rooms and nice firm bed but be warned it can get very noisy you have bars all along the street outside with music and people chatting singing all night every night then from the crack of dawn u have beer delivery’s all along that street so you hear empty kegs getting thrown about and the floorboards and ceilings are very old and u can hear the room above people stomping around however I slept fine and got a good nights sleep
