Bare bones student housing. The bathroom wasn't cleaned while I was there until the 3rd day. Hairs stayed on the outside lip of the shower for 3 days. Toilet paper wasn't replaced until asked 2 times in 24 hours. The shower sprays on the TP so even if you have TP, it gets soaked when you turn on the shower. My sink in my room also had long hairs on it. I did get a towel for the shower, but no hand towels. The kitchen was good, even had on demand hot water for coffee, etc. It was kept fairly clean. Not very many pots, but plenty of dishes and cups. The doors are very loud, and there are lots of them slamming all night when people go to the bathroom. They did have a decent sized disabled bathroom. All in all, adequate. It's a 25 minute walk to town center. Nearby grocery.

What is expected for a dorm room stay. Much quieter than expected! Staff very friendly and helpful. Location was a good 15-20 min walk from major bus routes. That part of Limerick is a bit rough, but I did not feel unsafe. Convenient supermarket a short walk away. Met a lot of travelers- also very friendly. Was a good stay for the price!

The staff was friendly the moment we stepped into the premise. They also acceded to our request for a room at the ground floor due to our age. However the room looked quite run down especially the heater and the sink.

Pleasant atmosphere, no public transport nearby, didn't matter much as it was a fairly short walk to the city (about 20 minutes) but in wet weather it might have been different' A couple of benches in the green area outside the accommodation would be nice.

Surprisingly, it was quiet and clean. Not in the latest fashion but functional The only complaint is that the wi-fi was not available in my room. I had to go in the corridors or the kitchen. Also it was a little bit off town center so i had to walk 1/2 an hour to arthur's quay and back.

Simple stay
Nothing less or more, just a simple place to stay at when you just need a place to sleep. Not sure if there was a WiFi, at least I couldn't find one. No USB chargers, only the British ones.

Great value for a short stay..,
Although just over a mile south of the cory centre, the room is clean and fresh for an overnight stop. There is a large kitchen and lounge area for cable or home cinema. A great value, uni style accommodation...

Clean and comfortable
We had three rooms. The facility was easy to find with plenty of parking, rooms were clean and towels were provided. There was one entry you could use and yet a number of exit doors that were locked, it would have been more convenient to exit at others. I had a bump bed in my room with no ladder going up to the top bunk which would have been nice. Breakfast was sketchy - cold cereal and toast - very minimal. Kitchen was well equipped so you could bring in your own food and cook any time during the day which was nice. Laundry was 5 euro for washer and dryer. Overall it was clean and value for money but nothing spectacular, simple with no frills.

Definitely give this place a try.
Had a great stay here in a private room. Staff was super friendly. Everything was clean for the most part. I just wish the restrooms got cleaned more often as they were shared with other guests. Great for a short stay near Shannon Airport. Plenty to see in the area within walking distance.

Only taxi or by walking to get to hostel
Be prepared to take the taxi or walk a few kilometres (or 25 mins) from the bus / train station or town centre to get to this place. Room had a odd smell and we had to keep the windows opened. The room and restrooms were clean and tidy. Breakfast is simple and okay

Budget accommodation in Limerick
Good value accommodation to the South of Limerick. Has free parking, easy access to the main roads, 30 minute walk into the centre. Free breakfast and 24 hours staffing. About 10 minute walk to Dolan's pub for food or fast food restaurant virtually next door in a petrol station.
