I arrived and had to stand and wait while the front desk staff did something for their change of shift and paid no attention to me whatsoever. When it was brought to their attention, I was waiting. I had an attendant look at me asked me if something was wrong with me and then say it’s a shift change will be with you shortly. I said there for approximately 15 minutes. I attempted to call room service to have dinner before an event. I went to that night. They did not answer the phone. I went to the front desk task for assistance. He handed me the phone after dialing for room service to which I got a busy signal. I couldn’t get into the restaurants so I asked for assistance on just being able to order food. They found a table for me at the restaurant and then I waited 20 minutes until I waved down a white staff member to come to me. I had to wave them down every time I needed something. Upon my return that evening late after my event, I wanted to order some food and I experienced the same busy signal and front desk experience. When I was finally able to go to my room and order from there I ordered coffee because I’ve been told the bar had closed down their coffee machine and cleaned it already. When the food arrived, there was no coffee and it was explained. They already cleaned to the machine. The executive lounge coffee machine was also broken so I couldn’t make any. Overall, wholly disappointing do not recommend.

Location was very nice. Right on the river with a nice outdoor patio area. Parking was very convenient, with the attached garage. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to use the pool or other amenities since we were flying out early the next day. Our room was large and comfortable. Some of the furniture was worn and in need of attention. Staff at the front desk was friendly and helpful. They have a nice restaurant / bar area but the service we experienced there was poor at best. Server wasn't knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered and received our entrees within about 10 minutes, which is never a good sign. The food was not good at all. We ordered a simple dessert and, after waiting for 40 minutes, we had to give up and cancel it and ask for the check. Our server could not be found anywhere.

We were upgraded to the executive floor. Room was spacious and clean. The food situation was a disappointment. Dinner in the restaurant was cold and we seemed to be forgotten by the staff. 1 hour 45 minutes to have a beer and a couple of appetizers. Room service breakfast lacked about the half of what we ordered because they were out of stock. Room was good though.

I booked a balcony suite which was disappointing. The room was a good size, but poorly appointed. While there was a nice balcony, the exterior space was all enclosed in an atrium with all of the other balconies which afforded zero privacy and no one made use of the their balcony space.

The executive lounge had a very meagre offering compared with other typical concierge lounges.

The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped, with a lovely view over the city. The leisure facilities were a real bonus. The location is perfect too, just a short walk to the city centre.

Overall, a brilliant stay made even better by Sophie’s friendly service. I’ll definitely be returning!

The staff were helpful. There was a mix up with our breakfast on the morning of our check-out. It is a very beautiful hotel and wonderful location. It was difficult to reach the vending machines when needing a drink / snack... your key only accesses your floor / lobby / parking .. which is nice for safety. Also on our check-out day the maid entered our room at about 8am.. just opened the door enough for us to yell we were in there.. I didn't appreciate it... but all the front desk said was sorry. They said they didn't have record we were in the room.. which explains the breakfast not being delivered too. :( But we had another stay a few days later before flying out and all went smoothly and our dinner was great that evening. Very nice bar / restaurant too.

We had a lovely quiet room, with a shower and a separate bath.Only issue was we arrived on foot from the bus station and there’s no ramp at the front, just steps, the ramp is at the back close to the drop off. Great views of the river.

Nestled along the banks of the Shannon River, The Strand Hotel in Limerick is a true gem and my preferred sanctuary in Ireland. It masterfully combines an unbeatable location with impeccable service. From its exceptionally clean and charming environment to its staff—who radiate a blend of warm Irish hospitality, keen knowledge, and genuine helpfulness—every detail feels carefully considered. The city center is a mere two-minute stroll away, making it effortless to explore on foot. A standout feature is the secure underground garage, (at a cost of twelve euro a day) which offers direct, private access to every floor, allowing you the freedom to come and go with ease. Coupled with its wonderful food and outstanding overall service, The Strand Hotel is, without a doubt, Ireland's premier choice for an unforgettable and affordable stay.

A bit dated property. Very small shower with the shower head to loose to hold its position. The shower doors often coming out of its railings. Air conditioning not working. WiFi internet extremely slow 4-7Mbps so nearly unusable. Curtains a bit broken, unable to get the room dark. Probably won’t stay here again.

However, some of the staff (not the managers or supervisors, but lower rank employees) were very friendly and helpful!

The room was comfortable with a beautiful view of the river. But the balcony was so odd. All of the balconies are enclosed, encased in glass. Totally claustrophobic. When you step out of the room onto the beautifully furnished balcony, it is hot, noisy (like an echo chamber) everyone can hear everyone else’s conversations. And what’s worse, you can see your neighbors, they are right there!

The service wasn’t great. Just okay. It took about 30 minutes for us to have some teabags delivered and our room wasn’t cleaned in a timely manner (or well). The front desk staff was not welcoming or very helpful at all. In fact they were kind of smug.

All that being said, I would definitely stay there again. Parking was easy, the fish and chips in the restaurant were really good, it has a great view and the location was perfect.

Solid Business Hotel!

Very good stay, was there on business but got full use of the restaurant, bar, gym and pool.
The restaurant was spot on with delicious fresh food. The gym is a good size but was busy, but it was 6pm.
The pool is perfect and has a full selection of stream room and sauna.
The room itself was a great size and full of all the amenities needed including free of charge bottled water.
The bed was very comfortable and I haven't slept so well in a hotel in a long time.

Breakfast had a good selection but maybe the quality of produce was lacking compared to the evening selection.

Although the other side of the River Shannon to the city it was only a short walk across the bridge. Unlike some other city hotels there not only was parking available under the hotel, but at the time we were there more than ample parking, albeit at a not insignificant cost. Our room was spacious, well decorated, well equipped, comfortable and quiet. The inclusive buffet breakfast was very good and we also had a meal one night in the hotel which was good too. A very smart hotel in a lovely city.

Hotel was in a good location. Not down in the middle of the city, so quieter, but a short (10ish minute) walk to anything you would need. The front desk guy ok. Not super helpful, but got us checked in. The smell in the lobby is strong and doesnt smell good. But the smell was confined to the lobby. Room was spacious, clean, and quiet. There was a show at castle nearby we could see and hear from our room which was nice. (Concert was quiet by 10) overall, hotel was fine and i would stay again if i was visiting the area.

The Strand is a very good example of understated competence. Mirroring the swans on the Shannon directly outside, you know a lot of skill and care must go in to keeping such a large and popular hotel \"afloat\" but to the observer, it seems so smooth and simple.
Rooms are equipped for comfort and ease: there's storage so you can tidy your things away, and how guests would use the space is anticipated, including conveniently placed mirrors and a TV you can cast to from your own device.
In short, The Strand is set up around the guests' requirements, and a stay there is truly comforting.
