Stayed in the hotel hotel a couple of times during visits to Limerick.
Have also stayed in the Absolute hotel in the city.
In my opinion, the Hilton is by far the best hotel I've stayed in while in Limerick.
The rooms are huge by normal standards, with a lovely bathroom with bath and power shower as standard. Really comfortable King Size beds, and cosy duvets.
I've always found the staff to be extremely helpful and pleasant. On the couple of occasions I've stayed here, I have ordered room service and found it to be really delicious. Very comprehensive menu and prompt service.

It's proximity to Limerick City Centre, and the standard in general of the hotel make it the only choice as far as I'm concerned.
Also, across most of the hotel websites it is the same price, if not cheaper than places like the Absolute Hotel, but is in a different league in terms of service and room quality. I made the mistake of staying at the Absolute Hotel, had a disasterous stay and on the next trip to Limerick stayed at the Hilton again.

We flew into Shannon late afternoon, so we decided to stay in Limerick before we began our vacation. The hotel is situated on the Shannon river and a short walk to downtown activities. The hotel is nice and clean and the staff was efficient .

We ate at the morning buffet was pretty good.

We would go back again.

I love this hotel. I first brought my partner here on valentines night and even though it is in the city where we live it was really romantic. Since then we have returned twice because it is so comfortable(and because we love staying in hotels!!). We have also stayed in the absolute hotel in Limerick (i meant it when i said that we LOVE hotels!!) and the Hilton is far superior for the same price(plus you can make a cup of coffee without being an engineer(if you've stayed at the absolute you'll know what i mean...crazy crazy coffee machines)

The decor is really funky and fresh and the bathroom is quite luxurious. We ordered room service and the food was beautiful, the plates weren't laden down but were adequate and tasty, i've always found the staff to be quite curteous and pleasant as well.

I can't make any comment on the restaraunt or the gym because to be honest we never made it that far, but the room was extremely relaxing and in really close proximity to the city and the views are beautiful(if you get a riverside view). All in all this would be my favourite hotel in Limerick

The Limerick Hilton is about a 4 minute walk to the main street so we parked our car and relaxed. We had a junior suite which looked onto the river, great view. Our balcony was enclosed so we could sit and enjoy the view without getting cold. The room was spacious, modern and the decor was slightly funky which we loved. It was also quiet.

We ate in the restaurant both nights and food was very good and some dishes were imaginative. This gave rise to a lot of discussion about the food which I enjoyed. The staff were pleasant in spite of the fact that they seemed to be under pressure at times. Service was slow but we didn't mind as we were there to relax, time was not important.

Breakfast was buffet style and good quality.

The pool was serviceable but nothing special. It was very cold the first day we used it but when I enquired about this I was told there was a problem and it was being fixed. It was slightly better the next day but not for the faint hearted.
