Situated just 15 minutes’ walk from Limerick town centre and 25 km from Shannon Airport, Courtbrack Accommodation offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and free parking.

Each room at Courtbrack Accommodation comes with shared bathroom facilities. Some rooms feature bunk beds and are suitable to larger groups.

Having a private room for less than the price of a hostel was very helpful. The kitchen and dining room were well equipped and there was a free continental breakfast every day. There was also a new Lidel grocery store a short distance away and there are several fridges available for your use. It was a short walk to all the action in Limerick. The staff was super helpful and cheerful.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, small rooms, clean but think 3 star as opposed to 4 star. Would stay there again. Cheap parking close by.

    This is a university dormitory organized as 6 single rooms with private bathrooms and a common kitchen, kitchen table, and sitting area.It is essentially a youth hostel, although I am actually pretty old. It is a superb value for the cost. The University of Limerick campus is gorgeous. The facility has bikes you can borrow, and there is a nice path along the river that brings you to Limerick city in 20 minutes.

    Very friendly staff, great location, spacious room, nice toiletries, good shower and bath. Cheap parking offered a block away. I appreciated the filter coffee and other stuff which were a nice touch. Vending machines on each floor and lovely aroma everywhere.

    Perfect option for a solo traveller. Safe, secure, clean, comfortable, self-catering, affordable - everything a budget traveller needs. Free parking availability which is always hard to find in a city. Room were quiet. Hard to find single rates anymore so this was great to have a private for a reasonable price. Food within walking distance and city not far away.

    Great venue, great location could not fault it. Only peeve was cafe service.. it was slow and a bit muddled but food was lovely. Guests who smoke are a bit exposed having to go out on the street at night and as non smoker the entrance gets a bit crowded with smokers. There is an internal space that could be easily adjusted and it would be safer. Other than that loved the Bedford.

    Location is really handy, the rooms and corridors were aesthetically pleasing. The staff offered to keep the luggage in a safe room for no additional cost. Thanks to an offer on Booking.com it was fairly cheap.
