we really enjoyed our stay here at the Marlin. They offered us early check in (€20) which we were grateful for so we could drop our bags. The rooms are very small but it was perfect for just my husband and I and our backpacks. The king bed was extremely comfortable and the rooms have A/C!!! The hotel was beautiful and smelled amazing. It was walking distance to everything we wanted to see in Dublin including temple bar, Guinness storehouse, Jameson distillery, and many pubs and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!
