Marlin Hotel Stephens Green

8/10 Good
"Had another great stay at the hotel. The only real issue I have is that the automated book in system is cumbersome and left me confused about which room I was in. As a result the whole check-in process was a lot lengthier than it should be."

"All good and really enjoy staying here but when putting the extras like food, breakfast or drinks on the room, the bill at the end is always unclear, wrong and confusing. Put that aside and I love staying at this hotel and I would recommend it … breakfast and food is excellent and well located"

"Amazing location. Right in the center of town. Walking distance to all the main attractions. Hotel and room was very clean. Front desk and cleaning staff were great. We received a room upgrade at check in without even asking for it as the front desk saw that we were staying for over a week. Highly recommend this hotel! We had no issues."

8/10 Good
"Room cleanliness ok but not the best, crumbs of food on the chairs for example. Room size good but fan system noisy and an inward facing room meant curtains closed and no natural light. Some noise from other guests returning to rooms late at night but that can't be blamed on the hotel - consider others sleeping please folks. Security seemed very good. Long wait at check-in. Staff ok but not overly friendly. Good location near airport bus stop and easy to access the centre along the river or by tram."

10/10 Excellent
"Highly recommend, would definitely stay again, great central location, clean room, quiet, big window, lots of light, great bar, loads of places to lounge in the bar, fantastic breakfast. Wish there was a phone in the room - struggled to turn the lights off and had no way to contact someone to ask. One odd thing in the room - my bed seemed to have 2 half duvets - one along the bottom of the bed covering me up to my knees and one over the top of the bed covering my top half. Never seen that before. Like 2 single duvets across the bed. Good sleep though."
