So, why stay with us?

"The best hotel ever!"

The staff are amazing in this hotel. From the second we entered, we felt extremely welcome. They were all very friendly, kind, and helpful. Dave at the front desk was extremely friendly and was clearly happy to help us with an issue. The location is absolutely perfect- in the center of Limerick,
with lovely views! The bar/ restaurant of the hotel was first class. With a lovely view of the river and a friendly bartender, it made for a wonderful night. The rooms in the hotel were immaculate, very classy, and modern. With a 'welcome package,' the hotel truly made us feel very welcome. I will absolutely be returning here in the foreseeable & would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

"The best hotel in Limerick"

I have stayed there maybe seven times over the past few years and am never disappointed. The staff are so helpful and obliging. I do not eat dairy and I asked about a starter and mains and when it came to dessert the waiter told me he had raspberry sorbet for me. I was impressed. Though very central it is very very quiet and overlooks a river and canal. The walk along the canal can keep one busy for many hours. It seems you are out in the countryside.
