We had such a lovely stay in this hotel. Both the food and accommodation were really enjoyable. Breakfast was exceptionally good. All the staff were very welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend it and could absolutely consider staying again. It was amazing value for money. Thank you.

by Belinda Murphy on Feb 28 2012 10:44

We found our stay to be lovely, rooms were beautiful. very clean fresh and modern. the hotel is lovely. location is great, short walk to main centre. Although, for such a huge space, the bar was quite small.

by mcb on Feb 8 2012 09:34

Really enjoyed our stay here, beautiful hotel and most of the staff were extremely nice. rooms were great, very comfortable. Great deal and would recommend this hotel.

by markallen on Jan 29 2012 23:19

was very disappointed that dinner was served in the bar not in the restaurant. I then saw other people being served in the restaurant. Very disappointed as we couldnt have a nice private chat during dinner.

by Joseph Pugh on Jan 4 2012 15:56

Had a wondeful time, the food was outstanding and the staff were superb. Will be going back very soon. The rooms were great plenty of room for 2 adults abd two kids. Outstanding time in Limerick.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel the staff were so nice and helpfull and the food was to die for. Galway couple.

by Caitriona Kenny on Dec 15 2011 09:39

I stayed in this hotel on the wend of the 9th Dec. The hotel is absolutely lovely, very comfortable and we had a great time. We dined in the hotel on the friday night and had a lovely meal. My only complaint is the hotel spa. I booked in Sat evening to get my hair done in the hairdressers and was not inpressed or pleased with the result. It was supposed to be a curly blow dry but was nothing like that. I fely that I was rushed and the girl who did my hair had absolutely no interest whaysoever. It was terrible the way it was left. Apart from that I had a very enjoyable stay in this hotel.

by 3 sisters on Dec 6 2011 18:17

myself and two sisters stayed in the hotel we could find no fault with our stay, the staff we really helpful. It is situated nice and close to the city which has plenty of shopping. The evening meal was really good and plenty of choices enough to suit everybody, the breakfast was second to none. The rooms are well laid out and plenty of space they are of a really high standard. The only complaint we had was with the lighting in the room all in all I would have no problem in recommending this hotel ,

by Michael Butler on Nov 7 2011 13:44

Really enjoyed our stay and had a great meal and the breakfast was lovely and everyone was very very helpful. Thanks, Would stay again.

by Anna Connell on Oct 25 2011 11:06

5 STARS We have not stopped talking about it since we came home. The rooms were fantastic. The beds were so comfortable. The breakfast was fab. We have been telling everyone about it. We could not get over it for the price. I am going to book another weekend away for November. We will try out another hotel. Will be sending some of our friends down soon. Thank you

by lucemoy on Oct 25 2011 10:39

On first impression this hotel was lovely, the receptionist made no issue of the twin room I had booked mistakenly to be made up to a double room. Hotel was clean and decor was nice. The only fault I would say was that the shower in our room was blocked, and the barman pointed me to an ATM at the EMO garage around the corner when in fact the ATM is no longer there. But apart from that no complaints.

by michelle on Sep 30 2011 11:45

lovely hotel very good value for money, food great breakfast, lunch & dinner great choice too, staff friendly & helpful, really central to city centre, parking convienient at the hotel, confusion with choice of room on my behalf no problem to change and no extra charge, was there with my mam and son, no problem with high chairs, cots etc..will be back & recommend good all round hotel.

by Aileen on Sep 29 2011 08:21

Beautiful hotel, very modern and spotless. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Staff were friendly and very helpfull. Great variety for your breskfadt and dinner was also lovely. Will definitely stay in this hotel again. When I travel back to limerick.

by Tipp & Dublin Girlie Crew :-) on Sep 27 2011 13:20

Stayed at the Absolute Hotel recently on a girlie weekend.... .....beautiful hotel, we couldn't fault it one bit. Prefect location, only a ten minute walk into the city. Food in the hotel was lovely. Breakfast was second to none. Spa was fab. Staff were very helpful and friendly. All in all a prefect place to stay for a weekend break. 10/10 :-)....

by honey on Sep 7 2011 14:26

We had a lovely weekend in this hotel , we were celebrating our 3oth weding anniversary and had no complaints , just a pity guests have to pay to use the spa otherwise everything perfect and we would have used it more , the hotel is very close to the centre and has a lovely bar to relax in and the breakfast was very nice , there is also a great hair dryer in the room , tea and coffee as well and omg a great shower ''heaven'' would stay here again as it is a great city to visit and a great hotel , 4star

by Aidan Gallagher on Sep 6 2011 12:09

Just back from 3 great nights in the Absolutely fab hotel. Great food; friendly staff; comfy room; wonderful location. We will return. A 5 Star stay.

by Doreen on Aug 23 2011 10:04

My sister and I stayed a the Absolute Hotel with my young niece and nephew for a two night bed breakfast and dinner, we all had a wonderful time from beginning to end. The receptionists, dinning room staff and everyone we encountered within the hotel were all lovely and very welcoming, helpful and considerate. Our bedroom was very spacious, spotless clean with modern furnishings and facilities. The food and dining areas were lovely and the food served was of a high standard and excellently cooked and presented, both the children and adults menus provided plenty of variety and items were cooked and adapted to our dietary requirements without qualm, in the very professional and pleasant attitude which all of the staff within the hotel exuded. The only downside to our experience was the lack of a swimming pool within the hotel, however there is a leisure center within five minutes walk of the hotel which has reasonable public opening hours. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone, and in an era of poor service and quality I am delighted to have this opportunity to praise the staff and service offered by this hotel, a great job all round!

by Dominic on Jul 3 2011 17:02

2nd stay. Fantastic. Rooms nice and quiet

by Aidan O Sullivan on Jun 22 2011 14:50

fabulous hotel with fantastic restaurant friendly staff and especially nobody ringing or banging on your door when it comes to checkout time.top marks.

by Mary on Jun 16 2011 09:25

My daughter and I stayed in the Absolute Hotel & Spa for one night only, what a pity we were not staying longer. The room was spotless, the facilities were second to none. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had food in the bar the evening we arrived which was very good value for what we had. Breakfast the following morning was hot and varied, we had this while watching the swans swim gracefully along on the river below. The hotel is very central. We will definitely be back for another longer stay. I would give this hotel 5 stars.

by sinead on May 30 2011 20:20

Great hotel,great location,great food great price.

by Dominic on May 29 2011 09:06

Lovely hotel. If you like modern with chrome, glass and walnut, this is for you. Good sized room with flat screen interactive TV. Breakfast very good. Will use again. Dominic

by Liam Felton on May 22 2011 15:56

Had a lovely time at the Absolute Hotel in Limerick. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The rooms were airy and large and very clean. We would go back again.

by Gail on Mar 28 2011 19:49

Well situated, good food, friendly staff Gail Galway.

by Helen Mortimer on Mar 15 2011 14:01

Difficult to find but worth the effort. Lovely staff. Didn't get a chance to use the spa which I was looking forward to, as it took so long to find the hotel. Food was good with vegetarian option. Buffet breakfast area too cramped and small for numbers trying to access. My biggest gripe is - the hotel carpark was full so I was directed to a carpark across the road from the hotel. On departure I was charged %u20AC5 by the hotel which I thought was very shabby and should have been covered by the hotel. I was further incensed to find the car park itself was only charging %u20AC4.50 per day (I was just there from 6pm - 11am, ie overnight) so the hotel actually made money on me!

by Roseanne Garland on Mar 9 2011 00:39

Excellant hotel,good food and very nice staff. Roseanne.

by Eugene Lorrigan on Mar 7 2011 14:15

This is a most beautiful Hotel, 98 euro B&B and Dinner......excellent value and treated like royalty,There were 4 of us staying (2 Couples ) Rooms were modern and extremely comfortable, all Hotel Staff were very friendly and so courtious, we would all go as far as saying this hotel was one of the best we have stayed in . In short i would so reccomend this hotel !

by theresa kerin on Mar 2 2011 22:08

by Derek Mcdonnell on Feb 14 2011 10:45

Really excellent. We stayed for one night, room was lovely and food in the restaurant was first class for both dinner and breakfast. Would highly recommend

Dear Customer Services, Thank you for a lovely break, it was very nice room and dinner was well done. Regards, Maureen and Tony O'Flynn

by Noreen O`Brien on Jan 7 2011 15:28

The Absolute certainly measures up to its advertising,i was very impressed with hotel and staff, the room was outstanding, so clean and spacious and the location is also brillant a short walk to city centre. I will definately be staying here again and i would highly recommend it. Many Thanks Again Absolute **

by Kathy on Jan 3 2011 14:58

Lovely hotel with nice rooms. Had dinner in the restaurant and it was nice, nothing spectacular. The spa was closed as it was new year which was a pity.

by Christopher on Nov 30 2010 19:22

We are a young couple from Dublin went here for a weekend break. Lovely hotel, really clean and modern, staff are excellent, food was lovely. Can't fault much to be honest. Good location. Good nightlife, %u20AC6 away in taxi (icon and angel lane nightclubs, flannerys and smyths bars). Really enjoyed the trip. Recommended Christopher & Emma

by verona noonan on Nov 24 2010 19:33

A group of 8 friends booked into the hotel last Saturday. The hotel was fabulous, the rooms extremely spacious, the staff very courteous and helpful, In all I will certainly return, The only downside was that the car park was full and there was a %u20AC5 charge to keep it in a safe car park. However, I did just park, at my own risk, across the road and the car was okay the next day. Regards, Verona Noonan

by dmur on Nov 19 2010 15:01

excellent service. great staff. very friendly and helpful. would recommend it to anyone.

by ANT on Nov 16 2010 12:43

Very nice hotel in good location. Breakfast was very good and served until 11.00. Staff were friendly and had a good knowledge of the local restaurants. Parking is limited though, so check in early. The hotel is a modern hotel and does not have a foyer which leads into a bar (bar on 1st floor) so no real place to sit with a coffee and read the newspaper on a Sunday morning, but this is only a very small complaint!!

by jackie byrne on Nov 11 2010 18:12

Hi,Just back from a family break in the Absolute.We had a lovely break.All staff in hotel were extremely friendly.The room was clean eventhough there was a big stain in the middle of the carpet area.The room was large enough for 2 adults and 2 children.The bar area was dissappointing (very small)just a little area outside restaurent area.The breakfast was lovely on both mornings.All in all excellent value for money.Thank you.

by Chris on Nov 7 2010 21:53

We have just returned from a weekend at the Absolute Hotel in Limerick. We made full use of the hotel facilities - really loved the spa - enjoyed good food & found the staff to be more than helpful - nothing was too much trouble. We would recommend this hotel to anyone considering a break in Limerick.

by Trish on Nov 1 2010 20:03

Really lovely hotel ,staff are very friendly .Hotel rooms are modern and clean .Food excellent .Would return to this hotel .

by martin gillespie,annmarie mc daniel on Oct 7 2010 10:37

by Martin Noonan on Sep 29 2010 17:48

Really nice hotel - availed of an upgrade for %u20AC50 - will return

by Finmar on Sep 28 2010 12:45

Our recent stay at the Absolute Hotel & Spa in Limerick was absolutely wonderful. We stayed in a family room which was very spacious, bright and modern. It is definitely on par with five star accommodation. Our package included two nighs B&B for two adults and two children at %u20AC140 in total which was incredible value. The hotel has a very good restaurant and bar food is also available. Located on the quiet side of town the hotel is still within walking distance from shops and restaurants.The booking process was very straightforward. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

by fiona on Sep 27 2010 11:39

i really enjoyed the break and thought it was fantastic value for money.I was dissapointed at the fact that they only accpet credit cards and laser cards as payment and not cash.

fantastic Stay. Amazing food.

by Tricia147 on Jul 19 2010 20:47

Stayed in the hotel for a Friday night short break. All the staff were very friendly and courteous. The only issue I would raise is that the toilet door did not close properly which was quite unnerving at times. Other than that though the stay and service were excellent

by aoife on Jul 10 2010 09:43

by Carol Coleman on Jul 6 2010 11:04

Really nice hotel. Had dinner on the night we checked in and it was gorgeous. Breakfast the following morning wasn't as good. The quality of the bacon and sausages were what let it down. The room was nice albeit a bit noisy-with the road on one side and a crowd of girls on a hen accross the hall from us. The bed also was two single mattresses pushed together on one base which was a bit of a pain as I kept falling down between them. Other than that we had a great break there.

by Patsy on Jul 6 2010 09:16

Waited for more than 2 hours to check in. Dinner menu was the same on both nights of our stay. Fire alarm went off at 2am and continued to go off throughout the night. No sign of any fire brigade. Bar continued to stay open for guests throughout the fire alert. Tthe room was one of the nicest I've ever stayed in - staff ok, nice view of the river from the room.

by Trish on Jul 3 2010 20:36

Had to sit for 2 hrs before getting our room. Fire alarm at 2am which went off continuously throughout the night. Bar still open for business throughout fire drill. No-one seemed to know what to do to stop the fire alarm going off. No sign of any fire brigade.

by Padraig on Jul 1 2010 11:11

Excellent hotel, staff very friendly and food was excellent, location was also good and have secure car parking

by eileen on Jun 30 2010 15:20

by Niamh on Jun 30 2010 09:45

Hotel nice and central and modern. Rooms clean and sizeable. Staff very friendly and helpful.

by ron on Jun 30 2010 08:16

What a great place to stay, quality rooms, excellent customer service and the food was really good. When I return to Limerick this hotel will be my 1st choice from now on.

by PaulK on Jun 29 2010 22:18

Very stylish hotel. Friendly Staff, AmplenSecure Parking, And less than 5 min walk from city centre. Rsturant was very quiet, but the food was quite good and there was a resonable choice on the menu. All in all i considered it good value, and would recommend the Absolute and Limerick City for a midweek / weekend break.

by ann on Jun 29 2010 22:08

lovely decor, good food, relaxing spa space, would recommend for a city break location!

by Claire Collins on Jun 29 2010 21:57

We had an absolutely fabulous stay in the Absolute Hotel in Lmerick City. All of the staff were extremely friendly, professional and always available and willing to help. I had originally booked a twin room as I had planned to go away on a girlie night which had to be cancelled the night before. I contacted the hotel and explained and wished to change it to a double room and avail of travel cot if possible. It was no problem when I explained to the reservation staff and she was very polite and courteous on the phone. Our room was fabulous and the meal was amazing. My husband had steak and I had salmon main course, great quality food and great atmosphere. We had 6 month old baby in the restaurant until 22.00 with no problem at all. This hotel is fabulous, staff were excellent, accomadation and meal top notch. I'd have no problem returning to this hotel any time. Thank you, Claire Collins

by MissJo on Jun 29 2010 21:00

A beautiful hotel!! Staff very accommodating and helpful. Rooms relaxing and luxurious. Close to town and shopping. Highly recommed for a break away!! :)

by Mspink on Jun 29 2010 19:47
