As others have noted this hotel is very old and hasn't been updated in decades. They do appear to keep it clean - I noticed them vacuuming, cleaning windows, glass and brass everyday. However, they are cleaning old outdated rooms. The mattress and box spring were sitting on the ground - no bed frame. There was no dresser in my... more

I stayed with 3 colleagues, in 4 single rooms. The rooms are absolutely tiny. The decor is decrepit. The hallways creak and groan. Anybody passing by your room will wake you up. The local winos hang around outside and you can hear people leaving from the bar when you are trying to sleep. You can also hear any noises coming... more

We got off the bus and thankfully right across the street was the Railway Hotel. It was a holiday time, but there was aroom. It was just what I would think a vintage Irish hotel would be. The food was GREAT, the dining room very nice as was the waitress, and the young lady at the desk could not have... more

I stayed in Railway hotel three times recently with my daughter. We found the hotel staff to be courteous and helpful during our stay. Breakfast was served promptly and was delicious. I would recommend this hotel to all types of travellers whether couples, families, singles or disabled. As an M.S. sufferer I appreciated being treated as an individual without being... more

I spent one night in this hotel. Honestly, I went all evening out of the room walking around Limerick in order to do something better to stay in. Railway Hotel is dirty, attention is not the best, the place is dark and I thing dangerous (I saw several drunken people around entrance door), and typical breakfast, no more. Ah, and... more

I had a lovely 3 night stay at this hotel. The room cost me 46 euros per night for a single with private shower/toilet, and I thought it was really good value. The room was a double really; double bed, tv, loads and loads of fresh clean towels, coffee & tea making facilities in the room. All the staff were... more

We self-catered our holiday. We chose The Railway Hotel because of cost, convenience and proximity to both Shannon Airport and the Railway station to our final destination in Cork. We were dirty, tired and just wanted to get into our rooms. The front desk person (one of our first personal contacts in Ireland) was very helpful. She actually suggested changing... more

I booked our rooms solely for the reason of being next to the railway station since we had a flight out of Shannon the next morning and the hotel was literally across the street. We checked in [two singles, en suite], but learned there wasn't a lift, so the owner who was very kind, brought our suitcases to the 3rd... more

Rooms are very basic but if your looking for clean safe room for the night this is the hotel for you. its across the road from the railway station so its ideal for an early departure etc. The staff are very helpful. It also... more
