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.

It's a lovely little hotel on a quiet street near a park, a short walk away from lots of great food and drink -- faves include the Copper Room, the Glen Tavern & Freddies, and in the other direction, Bobby Byrne's. Also, as this is No 1 Pery Square, do go see the museum at No 2 Pery Square, so you know some of the history of the area.

The phone in our room didn't work, and that's what you used to call for a shuttle to the main area. So we told three different groups of people and they still didn't do anything about the phone so we had to walk into the main area for lunch and dinner. Usually don't mind the walk, but in the rain kind of dampened things.
