Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Clean, very comfortable, centrally located, comfortable bed
Restaurant was limited on choices but also believe that was due to the renovations
This was an unexpected great hotel. The room was top notch and bathroom large and modern. There were updates being made. This did not stop the restaurant from having a great breakfast every morning. The dinner options were varied and excellent. Pricing very reasonable. Plus, the on site pub was open during renovations. Staff super friendly and remembers your name. Also, well situated to downtown Limerick and the Lock area.
Friendly helpful staff. Nice hotel
Room was spacious. Nice roll-in shower.
Carpet in room makes it hard to push a wheelchair around. Parking limited
Bellissima stanza spaziosa, ottima la colazione
Clean comfortable rooms. Parking space underneath was a real bonus. Breakfast was amazing. Staff were great too
Really nothing to not like
Frühstück, Zimmer, Parking, Personal
WiFi war sehr schwach, fast nicht verfügbar
Buon hotel in posizione abbastanza comoda ma molto tranquilla. Molto grande e accogliente la camera, che aveva anche una bella vista.
Vi era indicata la possibilità di parcheggio; in realtà quello dell'hotel non riesce a soddisfare tutti, quindi ho dovuto parcheggiare in strada. La zona tuttavia era molto tranquilla e risevata e non ho avuto problemi particolari.
Gute Lage, gemütlich, gutes Frühstück. Gute Parkmöglichkeit.
Good location, nice rooms, good breakfast
Very expensive
Tenía parking.
Las camas no son cómodas.
Wir hatten ein riesiges Zimmer mit Blick zur Hälfte auf den Fluß. Frühstück was sehr gut. Kostenloses Parken im Parkhaus. Essen war sehr gut
Renovierungsarbeiten, provisorische Bar und Restaurant (ohne Fenster) sehr ungemütlich. Wir sind lieber zu Katies zum Essen gegangen. Leider im Bad ein Duschvorhang
Good location and spacious and comfortable room. Lots to donwithin walking distance.
Parking filled up quickly.
We were upgraded, the staff were friendly, breakfast was great, excellent value for the hotel
If I had to pick on something The bathtub shower was light pressure
Room , Food and Location were very good.
Lack of atmosphere
Leuke kamer met badkamer Goed ontbijt Heerlijk diner
Niets was alleen jammer dat het restaurant gerenoveerd werd en we waar we het diner hadden een beetje ongezellig zaten maar het eten was goed.
Quiet, room was good! Breakfast was okay.
Would have liked better pillows.
Lovely hotel and staff
Looking forward to visiting again when all the renovations are complete
Colazione e Staff. Parcheggio
Desayuno sensacional. Profesionalidad y amabilidad extraordinaria en el staff.
No me dieron habitación con dos camas aunque lo solicité
Staff were friendly, the rooms were comfortable.
N/A.
It was convenient for attending a UL graduation.We had adjacent rooms and it felt safe.
Expensive.j
They had a parking garage
The staff was condescending at the front desk. They were definitely catering to a younger vibe. The bar was a joke. Was it a restaurant or was it a bar? The entire place was cold and uninviting. The good Vibe shampoo was the only thing that tried to promote good vibes. The staff was unprofessional and their dress was sloppy. They tried but I think the ultimate issue is poor management and lack of training. Was nothing more than an upgraded Hotel eight. Without the upgrade.
Excellent location-great breakfast
Awesome hotel! Would stay there again. In the center of Town. Wonderful staff!
Located In the city center. Room was clean bed was comfy. Housekeeping is good.
For value of money the car park should be available for residents and residents only. Paying 400 for two nights and being told that we couldn’t use the car park as it was full and to use another car park nearby which we had to pay on top of that was false advertising on the hotel’s description of free parking. I could not justify value for money to what was gotten.
Lovely bright hotel.
Nothing
We had an issue with our sink (blocked) but staff tried to solve it quickly and compensated us for the bother which was much appreciated
Excellent in both areas
Nothing, all aspects of the hotel were exceptional
The room and the staff were very nice.
We were t aware that it was under renovations, which made it somewhat uncomfortable.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Took not only our bags when we arrived a few hours before checkin, but also a cake and bottle of champagne that needed to be refrigerated. Rooms are immense and clean and bright. AC was quiet and worked perfectly.
Unfortuately the lovely view of the river was marred by the pollution. Not much they can do about that.
Comfy room and lovely showers
Works going on and we were not advised in advance of our stay. Tired looking restaurant, really awful breakfast. Car parking is tight and small. Dusty and generally poorly kept and grubby
Location ok. I thought the hotel felt very organised too quite
Fridge in bedroom and construction workers having breakfast
Everything superb hotel
Nothing
Sehr schönes, geräumiges Zimmer mit sehr guter Ausstattung. Sehr gutes Frühstück mit viel frischem Obst, dazu frisch zubereitetes "cooked breakfast". Die Lage ist sehr günstig zu einige Attraktionen und zur Innenstadt. Kostenlose Parkplätze in der Garage.
Die Lobby wurde gerade umgebaut - deswegen wenig einladend. Und draußen war Baustelle am Kanalufer ... Die Lage ist räumlich günstig, aber die Lage am Kanal und der Ringstraße wenig einladend. Aber nach den Baumaßnahmen, die das ganze Ufer betreffen, könnte es dort schön werden ...
le petit déjeuner
Location is good near the river shannon. Bed room size was terrific. The few staff they had were very helpful.
Old and tired but I believe it is under renovation. View from our window was a dirty roof. Balcony bar was closed & I had chosen the hotel to look over the river for a special reason. Smell of the dining/bar rm was aweful
gutes Frühstück
Absolute was an up to date business type hotel in Limerick, comfortable
The surrounding area lacked restaurants and shops
Perfect locations. Very friendly and helpful staff. Large rooms with a nice river view . lovely breakfast with a lot of healthy options
it was all wonderful
Room was lovely .. location very good
Restaurant / Bar under refurbishment very poor option for both as an alternative . We had to ask for our breakfast 3 times as other around us were served
Great location to explore the city
Uitstekende parking, grote en moderne kamer
I did not have Netflix. I was disappointed.
Het parkeren onder het hotel en de vriendelijke dame die onze incheck verzorgde
Het restaurant in het hotel viel qua keuze wat tegen. Er waren geen tosti's na 9 uur terwijl dat wel op de kaart staat
Hotel is fantastic
Die Lage des Hotels ist außergewöhnlich gut; man ist in Fußreichweite zum Zentrum und zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten; Hotelparkplatz ist sehr praktisch
Zum Zeitpunkt unseres Aufenthalts waren Umbauarbeiten im Gange – das Restaurant und der normalerweise übliche Frühstücksraum standen nicht zu Verfügung; die Ersatzräume waren in die Jahre gekommen und nicht sehr attraktiv
Modern comfortable hotel in good location. Efficient service with secure parking.
Undergoing refurbishment work
The place was very clean, great breakfast!
Location was nice. Room was spacious
Lighting controls were awkward.
Location acceptable. Warm welcome. Staff polite and helpful. Very spacious room with a complimentary upgrade.
Breakfast average with dry bacon rashers.
Le petit déjeuner est excellent. Le lit est très confortable.. Ma chambre était prête à mon arrivée très tôt dès 11h. Je les remercie beaucoup pour cela.
J'ai réservé en pensant pouvoir manger le soir au restaurant de l'hôtel. Une fois la réservation faite j'ai reçu un email me disant qu'il était fermé pour travaux. Ce serait bien de le préciser avant de booker non? Cela fait partie du choix des clients pour réserver un hôtel. Du coup, on est accueilli au Harry qui se trouve dans l'hôtel mais une toute petite salle sombre sans fenêtre. Le lieu n'est pas très agréable. . Mais à 19h, les travaux de la salle du restaurant ne sont pas finis donc vous mangez au bruit de perceuse. Ce n'est pas agréable.. De plus, un des serveurs lance la machine pour nettoyer je ne sais quoi. Bref , pas du tout agréable. L'hôtel est à 10 Min à pieds du centre. L'extérieur est aussi en travaux , il faut le préciser. Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel vu le prix.
Clean modern hotel in a good location with secure parking.
A very good location for seeing the main sights. Friendly helpful staff and very good breakfast and restaurant
Everything!
everything
breakfast was slightly under cooked but had an excellent choice
Room was really nice and clean.All staff were helpful and friendly.Safe car park facilities.
Surrounding area felt a little unsafe so made sure we returned to the hotel a bit earlier than we would normally after eating out.2 TVs in the room both being effected by the same remote very annoying.Bar was under renovation so makeshift bar facilities weren’t the most ideal.But that couldn’t really be helped to be fair.
Staff at reception desk were excellent. Dustin was very helpful and definitely has the personality for the job. Breakfast was great with hot food made to order along with a child buffet.
The room and bed were very clean
There was ongoing work not mentioned until after booking. Whole hotel smelt really bad. Not worth the money
The breakfast was really good, great choice and cooked up fresh for you each morning
We stayed at the hotel for our 24th Wedding Anniversary and it was a stay to remember.We were treated like royalty from start to finish.Joanne on reception was exceptional.We were upgraded to a Suite and it was stunning.Our meal was devine and a complimentary glass of bubbly made it even more special along with a lovely chocolate message on our dessert plates.We cannot wait to rerurn and would highly recommend a stay there.
