Check Maldron or Clayton first
Pros:

Friendly staff, clean hotel, restaurant and bar, rooms clean, tidy and well equipped

Cons:

Advertised as free parking which was the deciding factor between this hotel, the Maldron hotel and the Clayton Hotel. All three were the same price. When arriving, we found out that the hotel does not have enough parking spaces to cover the rooms and we would need to park elsewhere. When we enquired about fees, the hotel does not cover parking charges for any of the car parks it recommends and does not reimburse.

Overpriced. Cons outweighed the pros unfortunately.
Pros:

Good location. Polite staff. Clean and modern. Well kept communal areas. Good quality comfortable bedding. Food at on site restaurant was good. Air con. Short walk to the centre.

Cons:

Travelling with my Father and booked a twin room. We were given two single beds that were extremely close together and immovable, also the bathroom was thin frosted glass which was almost see through! Not acceptable for a twin room.

My Father had to sleep on the sofa bed which was uncomfortable.

It was a large room and could’ve easily accommodated two double beds at an appropriate distance.

For context the room was £180 per night - this did not include breakfast!

The gym is small. No pool. Would expect a better standard for the price.

Exceptionally hot temperatures and could not open the window as there was construction work going on directly under the window.

No herbal tea. No alternative milk. No fridge. No mini bar.

The taxi the hotel booked for us to return to Shannon airport charged us €70. Seemed overpriced.

Pros:

Freundliches Personal, flexibel (wir konnten schon 1,5 h früher unser Zimmer bekommen), gutes Frühstück, gute Lage und damit nur wenige Gehminuten in die Stadt; grosses Zimmer, sehr ruhig zur Fluss-Seite mit grosszügigem Bad, alles sehr sauber; Restaurant mit Aussenterrasse, gutes Angebot auch für Abendessen bzw. den Absacker an der Bar

Cons:

Aktuell laufende Bauarbeiten im und am Hotel, die allerdings nur tagsüber spürbar waren, sofern man dann nicht schon unterwegs war. Bis auf die dauerhafte Blockierung bei einem von zwei Fahrstühlen gab es sonst keine wesentlichen Beeinträchtigungen und das vermutlich genervte Personal war vorbildlich und hat sich nichts anmerken lassen. Leider gab es auf Booking keinen Hinweis auf die offenbar länger geplanten Bauarbeiten. Zimmerpreis trotzdem bei Buchung über das Hotel direkt 20€ weniger pro Nacht als über Booking, was wir leider erst dort mitbekamen. Parken am Hotel für grössere Fahrzeuge teilweise anspruchsvoll und generell für alle Glückssache, wobei sicher nicht nur Gäste dort parken. Parkhaus gegenüber ist auf den ersten Blick eine Alternative, hat aber nur von 7 - 19 Uhr geöffnet. Da sollte man besser über Nacht nichts im Auto vergessen haben :-)

Lovely experience
Pros:

Stopped in to avail of the great offer pizza and a cocktail before heading to gig in Thomand Park yesterday evening. Walking in was met with a lovely atmosphere and buzz about the place. The service was great Chris was our server he was very friendly, chatty and attentive. The food was so lovely and portions great size. The cocktail was also well presented and tasty. Overall I will be making Harry's a new spot to visit when looking for relaxed way to spend evening

Nice hotel in Limerick.
Pros:

enjoyable stay

We had a ln enjoyable stay at the Absolute Hotel Limerick. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, and the location is excellent—close enough to walk into the city centre while still being in a quiet area. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Breakfast was nice, with a nice selection of hot and cold options, although we have had better. The only downside was the parking. Unfortunately, the hotel’s small car park was full, so we had to use the public car park across the road, which cost an extra €20. I believe there is a possibility to have this rate reduced but I couldn’t find the information when leaving the car park. It wasn’t a huge inconvenience, but it would have been nice to know this in advance or have more parking available as the room price was on the higher end due to a concert. Ring on in thomond park.

Overall, enjoyed our stay and would consider if in limerick again.
