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 friendly and helpful, but not nosey and pushy. Just right. When I had a problem with my radiator (it was on in the heatwave!) somebody sorted it straight away. Of course, the location is perfect. Cross the road and you are at the train and bus stations. The hotel is the first thing you see when you arrive on the airport bus! It is clean, but not sterile-looking. Homely, but like a hotel should be. The bar is fab. If I had to say one negative thing it would be that the bar gets rowdy at night! But it's fun! Just take ear-plugs. The room was cleaned daily; soap. towels, loo-roll, etc, all replaced. As for the breakfast; exceptional!!!! Cereal, juice, tea/coffee, full cooked bacon, egg, sausage, etc, then toast & marmalade too!! I didn't need to eat again all day. But if you do, the bar & restaurant meals looked & smelt great. The service in the restaurant was perfect at all times too. I'd stay again; wouldn't bother looking for another hotel in Limerick!

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 a room (for no added expense) so that we had a lighter breezier room that had a better view and was more comfortable to sleep in. The cleaning staff was also very friendly. The room itself was comfortably (not lavishly) appointed. The facility could use some updating but then again so could the Parthenon. The hotel is a cute reminder of bygone times that I would pray is maintained with any upgrade. I would definitely go again.

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 floor for us. The rooms were just big enough to hold the full-sized bed, but it was clean with plenty of towels. I had the only TV that didn't have a remote, but otherwise the room was fine for one night. The shower was stall style and very narrow, but again, it was fine for the night. We went out for dinner, but had a basic breakfast [included] before we departed for the airport. I wouldn't suggest this place for more than one night, but it can't be beat for convenience!

Hi i stayed at this hotel 26th Nov. it is as described a two star hotel. 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 has a lovely little bar where you can enjoy a late drink!
Im glad i stayed here for just one night.. and been honest i would not stay again unless i needed to travel early.
good value for money, lovely staff and great location.. if you are looking for luxury this is not the hotel for you!
