It feels like staying with friends, and their breakfast is the best we've ever had. Sheila's little dog, Sydney, deserves a medal for cheering up our daughter when she was feeling homesick.

Overall a pleasant experience here. The family room (king + 2 twins) is a little cramped but an…read moreaffordable option for a family. Service was very pleasant and the room was dated but clean. We paid extra for the breakfast, and thought it was really worth it- a high class affair for breakfast with good food and service. The gym and pool are just OK- gym is decent but pool is small, hot tub was out of service. The parking is a little bit of a mess- there is valet, but you have to go in and find them. If you do the self park, you have to drive around to the shopping mall across the street and park in the 5th floor or higher, which can be a 10 minute excursion on its own. That being said, the hotel is in an excellent location in central Limerick, so hopefully you can just walk a lot of places. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

We picked this hotel in Limerick because they have a car park! It is a hit or miss if you are able…read moreto 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.

The Dunraven Arms Hotel sells a dream: old-world charm, four-star comfort, timeless elegance. What…read moreit delivers: no AC, no safety, no transparency, and a firm belief that if they ignore a problem long enough, you'll go away. I booked five rooms in April 2025 for a family trip. All five were unbearably hot. There's no air conditioning, and nowhere - not once - do they disclose that. During a heatwave, we were handed tiny plastic desk fans that felt more symbolic than functional. "The heat isn't on," staff said, helpfully pressing buttons on a thermostat that wasn't connected to anything. Performance art, not hospitality. But the heat wasn't the worst part. One bed had exposed staples and metal pins embedded in the headboard - right where someone's head would rest. I took photos. Raised it with management. Their response? "That's not representative." Which is strange, considering every single room we booked had issues. What you're paying for here is a dated property clinging to its past reputation, hoping guests won't look too closely. Tour groups come and go. Independent travelers? We're disposable. The one saving grace: the bar and waitstaff. They were attentive, warm, and clearly doing their best in a place that doesn't deserve them. I tried to resolve this privately. Gave them chances. Gave them time. They offered a token refund and shrugged off everything else. So here's what I'll say to the next traveler considering this place: If you enjoy sweating through the night, sleeping near embedded hardware, and being told your experience didn't happen the way you say it did - book the Dunraven. If not? Stay literally anywhere else.

This review is LONG overdue, but we felt like we hit the jackpot!! Let's start by saying, overall I…read moredon't think we had many expectations for the drive to Limerick. It was easy enough getting there from Dingle and not long of a drive. Our hotel was right on the "strand" (which is what they call rivers? in Ireland). We got incredibly lucky and got upgraded to an amazing suite when we checked in. We aren't sure if it is because it was only one night's stay, or because we used the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, but it was literally the biggest and nicest room my husband and I had EVER stayed in (August 2023). Unfortunately the hotel didn't offer laundry services for only one night, but the staff was very helpful in sharing some food recommendations for dinner and breakfast. Emily and Scott were especially helpful making sure we had everything we needed and making us feel very comfortable and welcomed into the city. The hotel itself is located in a perfect spot between being able to walk the main downtown streets and still close enough to the points-of-interests. It felt designed towards business related events and we really clean, nicely decorated and smelt good! In the lobby, they had a piano (which the F major key didn't work) but that's ok. Our junior suite was on the third floor, and was the corner room with a wrap around balcony giving 180°+ views of the city, including the King John's Castle. It was the only true king size bed we have had and even had 2 sinks! It was furnished beautifully and has perks like blankets for the glassed-in balcony and modern accent lighting. We really liked this hotel and was our favorite by far!!
