One of many nites here
Pros:

There is nothing to dislike about the Absolute Hotel. This was my 4 stay over the last few months and the hotel never let's us down.

The welcome on arrival, the helpfulness of the staff, I will give and example, we stayed for New Years Eve 25/26 and while chatting at checkin the guy (im really bad for names sorry) at reception was asking if we had plans we told him and he was concerned the place we had booked had actually closed so he went to find out for us. I will remember that going forward as he didnt need to he choose to ensure our nite was not ruined.

On other stays the friendly stay we met such as housekeeping again very friendly.

This is a perfect hotel from location to facilities to staff.

If u haven't you must stay here.

Cons:

there is nothing to put here

Thank you, Joanne, for making us feel like a loved and welcome relative!
Pros:

Very nice and some free parking on site. It is very close to the city - nice. It was quiet and clean. The young lady at the front desk - I believe her name is Joanne - was so happy and smiley and very helpful. She probably has no idea that the words she chose in her service to is made us feel more like family than like strangers checking in. She is amazing and she is the perfect face for your property.

Absolutely Fabulous
Pros:

With it's location the Absolute Hotel was perfectly situated within a short ask of everything we wanted to do & the (very small) car park is free!

As I was suddenly struck down with gastro my enjoyment of the city & the hotel facilities was very much limited to the bed and the bathroom facilities. Quite honestly they were fabulous allowing me to shower in warm water, with mild & pleasantly smelling toiletries at 3am without disturbing my companion with unwanted noise from the ventilation system or pipes!
Additional water in the room would have been nice, but on reflection it would probably have been a mistake given the nature of my illness!

My companion enjoyed a good breakfast, with poached eggs unfortunately I didn't!

Including 2 breakfasts the cost of our stay, with free parking was favourable to other similar hotels in Limerick city centre with the added bonus of being just a couple of minutes walk from the hustle & bustle of town making it a quiet & comfortable stay. Therefore despite being ill our stsy was absolutely fabulous!
