"Great location, clean but small rooms"

6.0

Stayed over Christmas for a night out with friends. Love the location. My room was fine - clean, a bit tired but did the job. Lift is a bit of a bottle neck - only one. Also, the recommended car park on St Patrick’s Quay is incredibly tight - if you’re not a confident driver I do not recommend it.

"Excellent"

10.0

Room and location excellent and the hotel was Very clean. Only downside was that the Bathroom was a bit tight, but this would not put me off staying here again. Overall the hotel is beautiful. Anthea on reception was lovely and Loraine at breakfast so friendly, and gave us some history of the hotel, which was very interesting. I would highly recommend the Metropole hotel.

"Breakfast and the bar"

10.0

Eamon gives this place it's charm - lovely chatting to you! The bar and staff were warm and welcoming, as was the night porter. The rooms are basic, clean and comfortable. The breakfast room was surprisingly spacious, with a classic but contemporary furnishing. The coffee was great. I didn't feel like breakfast but it's cooked to order, which is usually best.

"Fabulous Experience"

10.0

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were treated like royalty. Louise the manager was so generous with her time, recommendations, and kindness throughout our stay. All the staff were so happy and friendly, from the gentleman greeting us at the door to the lady in the breakfast room the following day. My wife and I were so happy with our choice of destination for our Christmas trip. All the staff made it all the more enjoyable. Big kudos to the management and staff for running such a joyful and Friendly Hotel. I would highly recommend a stay in the Metropole Hotel. You will not be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Fantastic Experience From Start to Finish"

10.0

Stayed in Metropole Hotel on Saturday 13th December 2025 and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. A special thank you to Eamon the Manager on duty he went above and beyond to show us the correct route to Pairc Ui Chaoimh to walk us down the street and point us the correct direction. Sean from bar/catering staff member who was extremely attentive with our food and drinks order. The Reception staff were friendly and efficient. The bed were very comfortable and the bedroom had some extra small touches to the room like heated hand rail towel, digital clock that charges your phone, loads of hangers in wardrobe. The breakfast the following morning had so much variety and everything was fresh and hot. A huge thank you to all the staff at the Metropole Hotel and Happy Christmas from Jo (Limerick) & Lorraine ( Clare) Munster Rugby Supporters
