Mercer Court, owned by the Royal College of Surgeons, is student dormitory that doubles as a hotel from mid-June through the end of September. Anyone who has spent any time in a prefab dormitory will immediately recognize the Mercer Court aesthetic. (Caution! Don't confuse Mercer Court with the three-star Mercer Hotel, just across the street.)
The distinct sense of interior design-by-checklist is unavoidable: this is a standard dorm complete with bulletin boards and and desk/bookshelf units. But at least every no-frills room has a private bathroom.
So it's clear that Mercer Court is not the most charming, nor the most stylistically innovative hotel around, but its location is wonderful. Next to St. Stephen's Green and just a quick walk from Temple Bar, Mercer Court is convenient without being smack dab in the most touristy quarter of Dublin. Additionally, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the nightly rates are reasonable, dipping a further 25 percent for longer stays.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Mercer Court neighborhood
St. Stephen’s Green and the surrounding area sit adjacent to Dublin's hustle and bustle but remain quiet. This sliver of Dublin is a great place to see the ghosts of the city’s former elite, arranged as statuettes around Merrion Square. For those after a flash of green, St. Stephen’s is not the only park in the area. Iveaugh Gardens, just south, is known for its elegant stone fountains. Outside the parklands, the streets are residential and quiet. On the south side, see Georgian mansions, elementary schools and dog-walking residents. North of the Green, shopping, bars and throngs of people set the stage. The area west of St. Stephen’s also has a residential, less touristy feel. A few pubs in the area add a little life.
