The room at the hotel was quite nice and the location was okay. The parking lot was just behind the hotel - very convenient. We asked for a room facing the river and the check in staff said we were in luck. The room had a queen bed, comfortable and clean. For a big fellow the shower/tub was a bit confined but the water was hot. Facing the river ensured it was quiet. Breakfast was included and it was your standard fare but the wait staff could be a bit more pleasant!!!
I arrived in Limerick early - around noon. This was the first leg of my road trip of Ireland. On the off-chance, went up to the delightful receptionist to ask if there was any way I could get early check in or store my suitcase somewhere. With a nod and a smile she responded ”no problem - your room is ready now and we have upgraded you to a lovely room”. I mean, win-win at this point. Was offered help with luggage but declined - though offer still a nice touch. Went up to the room and it was simply amazing. As a regular solo-traveller, I am all to often chucked into the tiniest rooms. This was fit for a king. I couldn't believe my luck. I felt like a celebrity! Don't know what I did to deserve this - maybe just pot luck?! Parked the car across the road above Dunnes (you get discounted parking there). Came back and just had to thank the receptionist for the lovely room. She was an absolute delight to talk to - ever so friendly. Was shown the bar (I needed a drink as the roads in Lim are mental, like!). The room was exactly like the pictures. Super clean, smell gorgeous, well decorated, modern but elegant. Lovely toiletries. Nespresso coffee maker. Plenty of free drinking water. Corridors and the rest of the hotel equally immaculate and smell beautiful. The Savoy, for me at least, ticks every box and gets things right. A classy, elegant hotel but not snotty and exclusive. It's tricky to strike that balance. I like somewhere nice to stay whilst not being looked down upon. Great location too - slap bang in the middle of town - lots of shops and attractions nearby. Thank You Savoy and your staff. It helped make my Irish road trip an unforgettable, enjoyable memory. So much so, I am doing it again next year and will see you again soon!
Positives: Good sized room and king sized bed. Negatives: drain in room sink was full of something brown and disgusting. One shower door off it's track. Some kind of disco went on way past midnight. Very loud hard to sleep. Others in our group had already called management and nothing was done so we didn't bother. Bar: went in at 4:30 pm for an Irish coffee. Took 15 minutes to come and we were on a time constraint. Others in our group had plain coffee so it wasn't because it needed brewing. It was delicious when it came That night because of the disco noise in the room we went to the bar for a drink, also very slow service
Stayed here with my daughter who was competing in sports trials in UL the following day. Could not sleep because of music coming from function room that was so loud you could hear it over the tv. The first time I rang reception I was told it would be finished by 11pm. At 11 30 I rang again and was told it would be going until 2am and there was nothing they could do about it, the room shouldn't have been allocated but there was no other room to move us to. This was my 3rd time staying in this hotel for UL events but never again. Would not recommend especially if god forbid you actuatlly expect to sleep.
Stayed here countless times in last 20 years cleanliness of rooms and friendly housekeepers always coax us back This time breakfast service was chaotic Sunday in particular no tables cleared and food choices limited in the non fry area When you are paying c 400 for a couple of nights surely better service is key Maybe understaffed who knows We love the convenience of the Hotel and its busy atmosphere but could do better at the food/bar end of keeping customers on board
This was my mom’s favorite of the three hotels we stayed at. We had a double/twin room. It was roomy with space to unpack. Bathroom had good counter space. My mom loved the feature where you put your room key in to activate the lights. Very long deep tub which can be an issue with older people. It’s a very high step to get in and out of, but appreciated it included a non slip shower mat for the tub. Bed was comfortable. I’m a side sleeper and hotel beds are notoriously hard on a side sleeper, but this one was pretty decent. Staff was very nice. Breakfast buffet was good. They had streaky bacon instead of rashers. That didn’t bother me just wanted to note it. Dinner was good. Great burger. Serving staff were super nice. We loved them. Located outside the Limerick City center but in a public transit line and about €15 euro into the city if you choose a taxi.
