The Old Quarter Townhouse

As some review says, the hotel is small but supply everything I need. And it is quite clean. The location is convenient.

the breakfast and location

the noise from the bar and no towel rail in bathroom

The welcome was very warm, beautiful young woman on front desk. The hotel decor surprises, very Italianate, more Venice than Limerick, a lot of red and black in halls, my room was done in tasteful blues and creams. The front of the hotel gives no idea and the reception area is very modest, so as you go upstairs to the rooms the effect is striking. A painting series on the landings of a couple embracing creates a romantic effect I liked very much and immediately wished I had a partner with me! Some rooms looked spectacular, large inviting beds and spacious seating areas, all with the same sensuous Italianate decor. All looked comfortable. The breakfast area overlooks the street so you can watch Limerick waking up. The Full Irish was huge!

There are some pubs nearby and so you can expect the usual propensity of young Irishmen and women to end the evening by shouting inarticulately and meaninglessly at each other (some Irish traditions will never die!) - it's a very primitive and no doubt meaningful form of communication for them but provides a sad irritation for anyone else. I was staying midweek and it was not so bad. But you have been warned!

The staff were very helpful and friendly and the room was very clean

The bed and shower were small
