We began our trip in Ireland with a really nice stay at the Bedford Townhouse. Located Just off of O'Connell Street on a small street with no traffic in the middle of Limerick, this very nice, immaculately clean hotel offers pretty much everything you could want in a hotel for your visit in this city. I found the hotel on other sites and was able to book the hotel from one of them. The price is reasonable and the room includes breakfast in the cafe. Sharron called me the day before to confirm our arrival and placed a hand-written welcome in our room upon our arrival. The HVAC is quiet and effective, the room was very comfortable. The rain I gave only 4 stars is that the bathroom was really small with a tiny sink. It's quiet. Downstairs, the cafe has a very nice breakfast served from 7:30 in the morning, with the staff who are wonderful and very tasty food. Make sure to other the blueberry muffin, it's devine. One morning I had the French toast with maple syrup which was really good. Another morning I ordered the eggs, amoret very good selection. I didn't look for other places to compare, but I'd highly recommend The Bedford Townhouse for your stay. read more
