Note: Check in is from 3pm to 8pm only.
This is a student residence on the University of Limerick campus. I was in the Quigley 2 building, apt 17. My room, though small, was like that of a 3 star hotel; clean, comfortable, with double bed & own bathroom. Pleasant view of other university residence buildings, with rolling hills in the distance. There were 4 rooms in the apt, & a shared sitting & kitchen area, which had a large TV. I didn't see the other guests. Breakfast isn't included, but there's a campus bar nearby which will sell you a basic breakfast of scones or cakes with coffee or tea.
The university is about a 20 minute drive from the centre of Limerick. Taxis are €10-15, which is the easiest way to get here. Bus 307 runs once every hour from town (limited hours) & stops at the Capavilla Residence. There are more frequent buses, such as the 304, which go to the centre of campus, but that's about a mile from the residence. Full details of transport are online. BTW, Google Maps locates Capavilla in the wrong place; be sure to look at the University of Limerick's own online map.
Checkin was friendly. Also, after my booking on hotels.com, the reception emailed me a welcome, with maps & other info.
Very nice place, I'd stay here again; though if it was my first time in Limerick I'd probably prefer the city centre. They had a bit of difficulty finding my booking at checkin, so consider bringing a printout of your reservation.
