Limerick Strand Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in 5 different hotels in our recent travels across Ireland and this one was by far my favorite. The hotel had a beautiful view overlooking the city. The size at the set up the room was more "American" in style which is to say, the rooms were generously sized, the bathroom we had also had a standing tub and a separate shower. It was hard to tell from the photos if we would be getting one or the other but it turns out it was both! Which was a pleasant surprise. The hotel breakfast was included in our booking and I am so glad we stayed to enjoy, it was a wonderful spread and the latte machine was a perfect morning pick me up. The staff were friendly and helpful and overall I wish we could have stayed for a second night."
