The staff was wonderful and so was the hotel room. Everything was very clean! The hotel is in a nice location too.
Zaidoon
Excellent location. Friendly staff.
Kirsten
Unbelievable little gem in the middle of the city, excellent walking distance to all the things desired. Absolutely recommend.
Colm
Lovely room, staff and breakfast excellent
Daniel
Everything was as we expected. Well located by the river and a number of good restaurants. The women behind the host desk was fantastic. She worked to accommodate any requirements we had with the most pleasant attitude. Everything was very clean and the breakfast was great every day. When flying out of Shannon I would stay there again.
Debra
Great property and centrally located. Very friendly staff and easy check in. Room was fantastic- super clean, spacious and modern. Complimentary glass of wine in the lower level guest lounge. The attached cafe is excellent for breakfast and lunch. We were traveling around Ireland on vacation. Limerick was underwhelming but the hotel made up for it. We really enjoyed our stay!!
Keith
If you're thinking about booking the Bedford Townhouse, dont think just book it, you won't have any regrets. The accommodation and staff are first class, Sharon
Deirdre
A last minute decision turned up a treasure in the Bedford! Excellent presentation and helpful communication made for an excellent stay. The included breakfast in the cafe was outstanding !. Can highly recommend
Caroline
We were in a suite. There was no mini bar, no kettle. Had to go to lower floor parlour for coffee. Only 2 hangers in wardrobe. No lock on bathroom door which was very heavy. No shower screen and water leaked from shower hose soaking floor. No where to hang towels in bathroom. Reception closes at 6pm!
James
Great location and nice property
Michael
Absolutely fantastic hotel. Shame we could only stay one night. Highly recommend
Steven
The room was clean, warm and oozed class!
Claire
Lovely room, a great night's sleep, breakfast was delicious in the cafe next door and the complimentary wine and chocolates in the residents lounge was a wonderful bonus. Staff very kind and helpful and it was situated in an excellent location. Would recommend to anyone and definitely would stay again.
Matthew
A warm welcome goes far. A spacious and comfortable room, charm without fuss, premium location - the Bedford offers value well beyond its price. In the last two months of business, I can say that this is my top stay. Thanks team for making my brief visit pleasant and memorable.

Karen
Lovely boutique hotel. The gym was the best I’ve seen outside a fitness club and the lounge is outstanding
Jennifer
Great boutique hotel
We loved the Bedford Townhouse hotel! Great room plus breakfast in their cafe, which had excellent food. The people who put this little hotel together really know what they are doing. I wish all hotels met this standard of service, conveniences, and general coolness. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if in the area.
Jack
Easy access to Limerick, superb breakfast

Perfect 10
This hotel is positively the BEST hotel in Limerick. Customer service couldn’t have been better, room was spacious and clean, and location was prime as well as highly walkable. We’ve found our spot in Limerick and can’t wait to return!
Chris
Not a traditional hotel staffed during the evening but it was fine for a night. The lounge downstairs was a nice place to relax.
Stephanie
The property was amazing and the staff was so warm and inviting. They called to verify what time we would be arriving to see if they needed to make accommodations for us for a later arrival. The breakfast was wonderful! We were given the opportunity to chose from the full menu available at the cafe. We would definitely stay here again!
deanne
Sharon made our stay amazing. She gave us great suggestions and hooked us up with drivers that knew the area. Wonderful all the way around. !!

The hotel is amazing. Beginning with the excellent customer service through the clean room and amazing facilities. The location is also convenient. Close to the bus/train terminal and car rentals and shops
Dean
Our stay here was excellent.They even contacted me the day prior to make sure I knew how to get there, check in times etc. Room was clean & comfortable and everything was new. Breakfast and food service was excellent too.

Nice Limerick Digs
Great location on a pedestrian throughfare. Applause for Sharron! Wished we'd have stayed longer. Very sweet and hardworking kitchen crew.
Vickee
Train station is a 10 minute walk or short taxi ride. No desk staff after hours. Breakfast on weekend does not start until 8am..we had an early train and had a to go breakfast left for us by the staff. Limerick was a modern English influenced city that does not represent the beauty of Ireland, but if you have to or want to go there, The Bedford is a nice place to stay
Christopher
Room was ready and waiting for our late check-in. Very nice room and amenities.
Robert
Great new build in historic setting. Wonderful staff.
Kristine
This is an amazing location in the city center. Sharon was great and gave me places to explore!
Nathan
Excellent property in the heart of Limerick. Sharron and her team were a pleasure to work with, responding quickly to any questions we had in a very timely manner. The room was very spacious, especially for Europe. We also appreciated the very tasty breakfast options at the cafe next door, included with the room. We heartily recommend this establishment and look forward to staying here the next time we are in Limerick.
Michael
Best in Limerick
Great location, close to tourist sites. Friendly staff, the rooms are spacious and the beds, pillows and towels are very comfortable
Jawad
I reserved a room online for my daughter who was visiting for a day from Galway and then heading back to Dublin next morning. Since she would be arriving into Limerick in the late evening, my main concerns were walkability from the main train station and safety. But any fears were put to rest by excellent communication from The Bedford's staff, before her arrival. They confirmed what time she would be arriving and provided detailed instructions om how to get to the hotel and how to enter the building and access her room. They even called my daughter twice to confirm she had received the instructions. My daughter loved her stay at the hotel, her room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was amazing and a perfect start to her exploration of Limerick before her return back to Dublin in the evening. A heartfelt thank you to Shannon and Cathie for their hospitality and for taking care of my daughter while she was there.
Mary
Lovely hotel, great location.
Work travel Stop, but would definitely go back for a personal stay.
Great communication for self service because I was arriving late in the evening.
Safe for solo female travellers.
Great location, and car parking although separate was secure.

In love with this place
The hotel is right in the city centre. It has way more character than any other mainstream hotels. I felt extremely comfortable. My room was very clean and looked like it was recently refurbished. Loved the style and decorations, it was very much like my own house. Sharron at the reception was super friendly and made me feel welcome.

Hazel
Great location
Room was excellently located, breakfast was great, parlour was a lifesaver as the room was very small for two people and their luggage
Andrea
Simply the best!
The Bedford Townhouse Hotel is the best hotel in Limerick, and it is in my top 3 Hotels I have ever visited. I recently stayed there with my husband for our vacation.
The hotel’s room was cozy and lovely. Breakfast was amazing, We had an increíble customer service experience. And, I can not forget to mention: The bed!!! That was great, the best for people who really need to rest from those extense hours of walking and walking. Location was strategical for our visit. Sharron was so kind and helpful. She even advised us about an amazing local restaurant that was just perfect for the Irish experience and food was really good. Kathy was also awesome and cared about our stay and departure. I’d really really recommend anybody to stay here; don’t even hesitate it or keep searching. This is THE place for your stay. Counting days to go back.

Beautiful stay
The room was beautiful the service was excellent. The location is great too. And the breakfast was amazing.
Noel
A great one night stay in a well appointed hotel. It was clean, warm and cosy, although a massive bed. The service was top class. All in all a lovely stay
Mark
Good location- on a pedestrian only street. Great room, very comfy bed, and super friendly staff.
Destiny
My favourite hotel in Ireland so far! The staff are lovely and gave great recommendations for things to do! The hotel was adorable and just made you feel at home which isn’t always the easiest thing to do when you are abroad. Will definitely be back and can’t recommend staying here enough!
William
The perfect choice. Good location. Clean room with comfy bed. Had ability to regulate our own room temperature. Great breakfast. Parking was close and easy to access. Lovely welcome note from Sharron to ensure we got into the room even after 6:00 pm arrival. Occasionally a little noise from street front but in general very quiet throughout the night. Would definitely stay again if in Limerick.
Siobhan
Very comfortable, very convenient
Very comfortable. Excellent location. Very friendly staff. Loved the parlour! Gym small but better equipped than many I’ve seen.
David
Central, convenient smart accommodation
The Bedford Town House is smart accommodation with a breakfast cafe adjoining. Conveniently situated in the centre of Limerick, everything is walkable. Discounted parking in the very close multi storey.
Haley
This was my favorite hotel that I stayed in during my trip to Ireland. Shannon at the front desk was an absolute delight, she was incredibly helpful and just so kind. The hotel was very clean and the location was perfect. I would stay in this hotel again.
Vicki
In downtown. Cool historic townhouse with modern amenities.

Nice but noisy.
The hotel is lovely and the bed is very comfortable. Unfortunately the people walking in the room above you sounds so loud it woke us up both nights.

This apartment was amazing. It was way more than we ever expected. The bathrooms were huge and beautiful. Everything was clean, comfortable and charming. It was great to have a parking lot right beside the building.
Elizabeth
Very comfortable room. Top quality shower and bathroom. Efficient easy to use air conditioning.
Overall lovely stay.
Small inconvenience: the location of the clothes hanging rack was a little awkward - it was directly over the bench where one lays a suitcase, which meant hanging garments got in the way.

Great staff in a very good location. The basement lounge is a bonus.
Sue
Fabulous stay, very friendly staff, especially Sharron who couldn’t do enough for us, even finding out the make of the coffee cups for me!!
Just one thing that we thought could be improved would be to have a kettle for teas and coffees in the room rather than having to go down to the basement, otherwise a great stay.

Disappointed
The room was very small for the (not insignificant) price. When we checked in, reception did not ask us if we needed help with our bags (which would have been useful). The location is also quite out of the center for tourist destinations. I would not choose to stay here again.
