This was one of the 6 hotels I stayed at on a tour of Ireland, and is by far the best hotel I stayed at. Turns out having consistent amenities like shampoo, soap, and conditioner arent a constant normal thing in hotels. Nor is air conditioning. This hotel had both those things AND delicious hotel food. Maybe it's hard to find food to fit the budget of the included meals in a tour group, so Ive been eating some version of chicken and mash at every meal. This time I went rogue and paid for my own meal and was treated to a delicious braised beef dish and toffee pudding. Best meal I had on the whole trip was from a hotel and I still think about that braised beef. Oh yeah, the view is pretty good if you get a waterside view room. I unfortunately got a view of the roof, but I won't let that deter me from giving this place 5 stars. read more

We picked this hotel in Limerick because they have a car park! It is a hit or miss if you are able to find a spot. The weekend we were there, the hotel was quite busy and was unable to find a spot to park the second night and ended up paying to park across the street. We didn't know until after we paid to park that, according to the front desk, the spots out front of the hotel that say 2 hour parking can be ignored and are able to be parked all night. Besides parking, everything else was great. Staff are very nice and we enjoyed our room. The view was also really nice of River Shannon. The hotel is a short walk to King John's castle, St. Mary's Cathedral, The Milk Market, and various bars and food. It's a great place to call home base for a few nights. I'd definitely stay again if visiting Limerick again. read more

What a great hotel, right on the River Shannon. We had beautiful clean & spacious suites w/private outdoor patios, views of the river beneath us, TVs on living area & bedroom sides of a shared wall, *fantastic* rainshower shower heads, huge bathtubs, Nespresso machines. Air conditioning! Warm front desk service, & great room service food from Harry's on the River in the hotel. We saw different types of birds around & in the river - seagulls, ducks, cranes and even a pair of swans! This hotel is so thoughtful that the snack vending machine in the lobby also offers Covid tests, Purell, usb & power converter plugs, umbrellas, and dental & shaving kits. I can imagine that having these items available at any hour proves to be super useful for travelers. Beds are PERFECTLY firm - pillows are the fluffiest, down? wool?-overfilled poufs of joy that support & don't flatten out - they cradle your head & dont make you hot! So great for side sleeping & adjustable for back sleeping too. I have not found pillows like this in any of my Ireland travels, or honestly anywhere else in the world. Note to all other hotels: GET THESE PILLOWS. I want these pillows! The comforters are weighty so it helps induce sleep, but are not hot. Are they wool too? These are the best beds in Ireland!! Highly recommend this hotel! read more

Eek. This hotel looks interesting and the bed... feels like a bed from a sofa from the 1990s. It's a bit run down and missing a towel in the room. The hotel does have outlets for travelers. Staff is friendly. Gated parking garage. read more

We stayed for one night, but wish we had stayed another. Parking was easy there were at least 10+ spots when we arrived around 430pm. Free parking is always a plus! The room was huge! It's always nice to have a large room - these days hotel rooms feel so small. The room was clean and had really nice bathroom amenities. We easily walked down to the river and had a drink at a pub. We returned to the hotel to have dinner. My dining partner had a burger, I had the seafood chowder, and our little one had the kids pasta. My dining partner enjoyed their burger. My seafood chowder was SO good. And the bread on the side was yummy! Our little ones kids size portion was huge! And it was good. Our server Amy was really nice and friendly. The next morning we had breakfast and it was really good and well stocked with options. I'd stay again! read more

Really great hotel! I was surprised by how nice the room was. Service is good and it's just 3 short blocks away from Locke bar. Modern amenities and clean decor. Comfortable too! Our stay came with free breakfast. The complimentary coffee was good and the dining room was quite nice. They had the traditional Irish breakfast items as well as healthier options like fruit and yogurt. There's also a separate menu if you'd like freshly made eggs or omelets. Glad we stayed here while we were in limerick! read more

This is a delightful hotel in the city of Cork. We were touring Ireland and braving the perils of driving on the left side of the road (being from the US) and decided to spend 2 nights here. It was a good choice. Located within walking distance of the city center (King John's Castle, the major cathedrals, etc) this hotel has most everything you will want when visiting Limerick. There is an excellent breakfast in a dining room on the second floor that overlooks the river which is lit up for sunrise (just don't sit next to the window or you will get sunburned). There is parking included with an adequate number of spots and sufficient space to turn around in as long as you don't rent an SUV. The dinner at Harry's includes a large selection of Irish Whiskies to try and enjoy. The food is your typical Irish fare, nothing fancy but nothing to snooze at either. The rooms are comfy and spacious with plenty of pillows and a soft mattress. The maid service was prompt and quick and made no mistakes. Our room also had a safe in it, which helped secure our valuables while we wandered the countryside. The front desk staff were helpful and explained directions to some places outside of town that we wanted to visit. Checkout also was quick and easy. Should we return to Limerick, we will stay here again. read more

We had narrowed our hotel options to a top 2 for our night in Limerick. The Absolute Hotel ended up as our final choice because of the unique look of the rooms (exposed brick wall), the central location, and free parking. It was also VERY reasonably priced. The Absolute Hotel ended up being the most pleasant surprise from the stay. During our trip around Ireland, we stayed at 6 different hotels / B&Bs. The Absolute Hotel was my 2nd favorite (1st place goes to a B&B so it isn't quite an equal comparison). From the outside the hotel is very unassuming. Inside it is gorgeous. Very industrial chic. We opted for the classic room but were upgraded to a superior room (larger room with more seating). The room was very comfortable. We both slept very well on the bed and didn't wake up with a sore back as we had at previous places on the trip. The man working the reception was very friendly and helpful. We had an idea of where we wanted to go for dinner and he gave additional recommendations and let us know when live music would begin at our top choice. We also did not know what to do for breakfast the next morning as we needed to leave fairly early and most places weren't open. He recommended the hotel's restaurant and gave us a coupon for the buffet. We ended up eating at the breakfast buffet the next morning before our long drive back to Dublin and were thankful for a stress free option. Absolute Hotel was a great choice for our night in Limerick. We were able to walk to the nearby Locke Bar and not worry about driving back after. We also walked by the nearby St. Mary's Cathedral and could see King John's Castle in the distance. The Hunt Museum is also a short walk across the canal. I highly recommend the Absolute Hotel. 5 stars. read more

The three of us exhaustively rolled in at about midnight to the Absolute Hotel. We checked in with ease and made our way to our room. Like I mentioned there were three of us and they took note of that and had the pull out bed made with a nice comforter. There were three of everything... Towels, soap, shampoo, drinking glasses. Really impressed. The breakfast buffet was very nice, with fresh made omelets and French toast. All in all very impressed and would stay here again. read more

This was a nice evening. The restaurant is on the river, very pretty setting. The service was good, it was a little on the slower side but very sweet. The seafood chowder was ok, but had no salt in it, and the fish n chips was pretty decent, but server never returned to ask how I was so I never got extra tartar sauce or any ketchup for my fries. read more

I love boutique hotels that you can actually afford. For just €80 in the Absolute Hotel you'll get a fantastic room that's specked out to the nth degree. They're lovely. The door on the bathroom is glass which I was worried about initially but don't worry you can't see through it. The beds are huge and so comfortable. The bar is super and allow residents to stay until the wee hours. There are vending machines in the corridors which have everything from a spare toothbrush to cans of beer in them - very handy. The Absolute is a beautiful hotel & they've thought of everything. If you've got anything on in Limerick and you need a bed - stay here. read more

When you walk into the hotel, you immediately feel very hip and modern. Mostly because the hotel is hip and modern. They have great customer service, have wifi available, the beds are super comfy, and the hotel bar is pretty well stocked. But, there are two things worth noting before you stay -first, the hotel parking is kind of hard to find. Our group spent a good 20 minutes the first time trying to figure out where it was. Totally not marked well, and once you pass it, you are stuck going along a few one-way streets before being able to get back to the hotel area. Second - the in-room bathrooms are totally weird. The doors don't close all the way and the glass is all frosted. sure, you can't see all the way in, but it's still kind of awkward. Like awkward-turtle awkward. read more

Kelly S. and I stayed at Absolute Hotel during our two days in Limerick and loved it. Sleek and modern, I felt as though I walked into a contemporary art museum the minute we entered. Customer service was impeccable, from the friendly and helpful receptionist to the barista in the cafe on the the second floor. I do agree that the bathroom doors were a little strange because it wasn't what we were used to. Creaky glass doors... But the beds were comfortable and we couldn't complain about the free wifi. The traditional Irish breakfast was also delicious, with a beautiful view of the nearby city river as we ate. It was semi-buffet style in which you sat down and ordered the hot items you wanted while the cold items are laid out. All in all, fantastic experience here. read more

Stayed here on a day trip from Dublin. Was about half the cost of Savoy, and not in the Milk Market (Shopping mecca) so I was a littlw worried. But the place exceeds its star rating. In room dining was awesome. Room was huge. Bathroom was awesome. Staff was nice. Technically it is a 4 star hotel by definition, but it gets 5 stars for a 4 star hotel. Location within minutes walking distance from all shopping and attractions. Stay here! read more

This was the last of several hotels and B&B's my wife and I stayed in on our honeymoon while traveling all around Ireland. It's a great location to stay before flying out of Shannon. While all of our other accomodations had been more traditional and quaint, this one is ultra-modern with very up to date amenities. The only odd and undesireable thing about the room was the bathroom door which is made of glass and doesn't really close. No real problem for us a couple but it would have been awkward with a friend or children in the room. The rest of the room was very comfortable and it was the first place we stayed at that actually had a decent working internet connection. The secure parking garage is a nice convenience as well. The decor of the place certainly wasn't my style but it was ...umm...interesting. ;-) Overall a nice place to stay that I'd consider again if ever in the area. read more

We had a 2 night stay here and this was a great location to 'downtown' and very close to a nice running route along the river. The room was nice, the hotel restaurant and bar had great food and drink. We had underground parking and will certainly be back! read more

Very nice hotel in limerick. The rooms were very clean and had a nice tea service and instant coffee replenished each morning. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. There were vending machines for drinks and snacks at the end of the hallway. The lobby was small but the staff were friendly. We did not visit the restaurant while there at all. The hotel was walking distance to the town and sites like St John's castle and the milk market. The staff were friendly and provided maps and recommendations. There was free parking on site in a garage with come and go privileges. The bed could have been a touch more comfortable with say a feather top mattress pad or the like. read more

I enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is very modern, clean and quiet. The staff always made themselves available. I didn't get to try the restaurant, but it looked really nice! The gym was anti climactic. The hotel location is perfect - walking distance from the river, Locke bar and all shopping downtown. It generally feels safe at night, too. Can't wait to come back in warmer weather! read more

I already did a 5 star on Expedia. I'll sum it up. Fast check in. Easy secured parking garage. Nice front desk. Amazing room! Perfect bathroom. Comfortable bed. Window set up that blocks the sun in the morning. Has a spa and hair salon. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a decent price. Hour and 15 minutes from the Cliffs, so that's what ended us here. Very great price for the quality and ambience of the hotel. Only upsetting part was they offer you 10Euro at the front dest for breakfast. If you chose not to get it and purchase your meal in the restaurant, it costs 13Euro each. That was the ONLY thing that bothered us. read more

Room was HUGE and we had a lovely view of the river. Giant TV in room as well. Shower had a great rain shower head, and nice shower amenities included. Parking was so easy and included in our stay, which was very convenient. Location was a close walk to St. Mary's Cathedral and King John's Castle. Breakfast in the restaurant for 10 Euro was fantastic! So many options, including building your own Full Irish, and the servers were warm and friendly. Front desk staff was also super friendly and helpful, and even called a cab for us one evening so that we could travel to a pub in the rain. Definitely recommend, and will be back when we visit Limerick next! read more

I recently had a two night stay here on my visit to Ireland and pleasantly surprised with the decor. It was very sleek and modern. The staff were very nice and willing to assist you in anyway. I had medications that had to be kept cold but I also had to take them every morning. When I checked in they had no problem labeling them for me and putting them in the kitchen and in the morning when I asked to take them they were brought down to me and back into the fridge with smiles and pleasantries. The garage is on the smaller side so if you can get in early and leave your car there that's my recommendation. Your just blocks away from me the main down town where you can eat drink and be merry. If I ever find myself in Dublin again I will be staying here again. read more

A gem in Limerick. While a little tricky to initially find, the hotel is very modern. The room was very classy and the U.S. Outlet was a welcome find (no international charger needed). The breakfast and restaurant in this location was excellent! Had dinner on 2 nights here and it was - by far - the best we had while in Ireland. They have a set menu where you can get an appetizer, a main course and a desert for €25....quite a deal. The location makes the entire city of Limerick very walkable. A must stay location if in Limerick. read more

Hotel was very nice. Very spacious modern rooms. Would have had 5 stars if the breakfast in the restaurant had been better. For 10 euros per person there should have been plenty of eggs in the buffet. We went down about 830 and between 3 people we hardly got 2 servings of eggs out of the bin. Went back to check and it was still empty. We have stayed at hotels on this trip that breakfast was included in our price that offered much better assortment than the one we had to actually pay for read more

The hotel has nice size rooms, views are great. The day time manager however needs some social interaction training. To be reminded not to move towards women aggressively, and to offer assistance to the handicapped guest during a emergency elevator issues, other than saying the guest cannot use the elevator and then leave the handicapped guest unassisted. As he took the elevator himself. The staff could use some training with emergency issues as well. None of the staff knew until hotel guest said something nor did they have any idea of what to do. read more
