Being freshly decorated. Excellent choice of colours and finishes. Staff very friendly and efficient.
A haven of relaxation, this contemporary hotel and leisure centre is located on the outskirts of Waterford city centre and just 15 minutes away from Waterford Airport.

Our hot water went on the first night(no fault of the hotels)which was a big let down for us but the leisure centre was open to use the facilities. The manger Paul went above and beyond to rectify the situation as quickly as possible while keeping us updated. Overall, staff were very helpful and friendly, they couldnt do enough for us. Kids really enjoyed the swimming pool. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend for a family friendly stay.

Comfort was downgraded because my girls (wife and daughter) felt the beds were too hard for a good nights sleep. I thought everything was fine. Meals were delicious.

Comfortable, albeit ,corporate room.
Well situated for visiting local attractions eg Waterford Crystal factory tour.
Restaurant food was ok.
Can't comment on the spa facilities as we didn't avail ourselves of them.

Accommodation was comfortable and clean. Pan fried fish of the day was very good, and the staff were very friendly.

Lodging in the Granville Hotel will be an indispensable part of your visit to Waterford, where history and modernity meet to celebrate the people and the events from Waterford's past, participate in its vibrant today, and applaud its vibrant future. We enjoyed Incomparable dining experiences -- the restaurant and bar are as great a feast for your eyes as they are for your appetite. The hotel’s staff is attentive to their guests’ every need; we were treated with consideration, warmth, and an extra measure of deferential respect; in that sense, we, as guests, became as much a part of the Granville’s rich tapestry of history and service as it is unto itself.
Situated in tranquil rolling countryside, Rhu Glenn Hotel provides rooms with pretty views, free parking, and is just 5 minutes’ drive from Waterford.

The breakfast. The bacon was uncooked, had to be returned. Plate was full of grease. Child portion of beans on toast, no butter smothered in beans, looked very unappetising. Needless to say it wasnt eaten.

Waterford is a Goldilocks city -- not too big, and not too small. The Viking Triangle is easy to see in a day, and it affords lots of good dining and shopping options. Day tripping outside of town is really great -- plan to spend a day in Tramore and along the Copper Coast, or rent a bike (or an e-bike!) and ride from Waterford to Dungarvan along the Waterford Greenway -- an exceptional experience. People here are friendly and direct -- the feeling around the city is of "pride, tempered with modesty."
(It's probably not PC to say it, but don't bother going to the Reg.) (If you have the budget stay at the Granville for a memorable experience, and an unbelievable breakfast -- serious!)

There are plenty of historical places in Waterford, but you have to buy a minimum of 5 places roving ticket. If you are greatly interested in Waterford history, then worth it, but if not, a waste. We enjoyed the countryside more.

Waterford surprised us.
Waterford surprised us. The museums are great, we enjoyed especially the Bishop's palace. All the people we interacted with were very nice, kind and helpful. The Waterford people and city council have done a great job in this last 10 years. We will go again

I liked the fact that staff changed me to another room when I complained about the noise of the boiler. However the room we stayed in was freezing and this was February and it was cold.
The staff need to be a bit flexible about breakfast times. The receptionist would not accept that we would come down between 9.30 and 10am or even at 10 minutes to 10am. She said that we had to give her an exact time to book the table! We said 10.am, which she accepted but when we got to breakfast the tables were cleared and staff said that we could have a cooked breakfast only. We stood our ground given the night we had and we did get the breakfast we would have got had she allowed us to come down at 9.45am. We got a strong impression was that it was all about what was convenient for the staff as opposed to looking after the customer. Such a pity.

I moved to Dublin earlier this year.
I moved to Dublin earlier this year. I've been to most Irish cities at this point. I decided to get out of Dublin for the night and came to Waterford on fairly short notice.
Perhaps it was the (rare) nice weather, but Waterford is now one of my favorite cities in Ireland and was the perfect place *for me* to spend ~24 hours. Note that I usually race around from the moment of arrival to the moment of leaving, so others might enjoy all that Waterford has to offer - King of The Vikings VR experience, the Time Museum, the Irish Wake museum, some silly crystal place (albeit with an impressive company store,) Constitution Square, the Medieval Museum, Bishops Palace Museum, the Silver Museum, the river bank, building murals, etc. - for two or three days.
By the way, several of those museums can be seen for one ~15-euro pass, easily bought online the day of arrival (such as I did!) There might be even cheaper options; check before you go! I'm not a museum person, but even I enjoyed everything above. https://visitwaterford.com/vw_news/waterford-treasures-launches-freedom-of-waterford-tour/
I stayed at the Waterford Marina hotel which offered a great view of the river, albeit for 160 USD for my one night there. (Did I mention I decided to go with almost no notice? This was what was available!)

Drizzle rain and rain can happen, be prepared, it is Ireland. Lots of Touristy things to do if you like doing those things. Cost of regular clothing is inexpensive and easily obtained. The pints at The Exchange were 4.60 euro, a very good price. Tipping is not expected and does not show up on tap readers or bills. There is construction throughout Ireland however if the country side is your calling, it is not far away and is very, very enchanting.
Tower Hotel was the perfect night away for me and my partner.
We had a king size room with a view of the city and the river. It was exactly what i had hoped for.
The room itself from the bed to the bathroom was perfect.
Lovely shower/bath.
The bed was very comfortable.
The hotel restaurant and bar itself is amazing and we had breakfast there which was excellent!
Definitely will stay again.
I and my husband spent 3 nights at the Viking Hotel and I have to say it was a very pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service better than any other hotel we stayed in.
The location is a little bit far from the city centre, but you can easily arrive there by car or by bus. A big plus for us was that the room was quiet and we could catch on our sleep.
It was amazing. They hotel was so clean and beautiful surrounding. Can’t believe it’s a 4 star. Should be a 5 star. Staff were so helpful and well mannered. Very organised and very friendly. Loved it from start to finished. Going to come back for a last weekend.
The beautiful historic hotel was a pleasure to stay in. The room was lovely, the shower was great. The breakfast was delicious! The bar was cozy and relaxing on a rainy windy evening. The location was great for walking around Waterford.
I booked and committed to pay at the travelodge ,there was one non national on duty and was unable to take payment ,I left the property and booked the marina hotel . couldn't get a refund ,disgusted as I'm a frequent user of booking.com
Service was exceptional from Sharon and John Luke at reception. Great place to begin your cycle on the greenway. The hotel is 1km from the cycle trail in a quiet rural location away from the busy city centre. Highly recommended.
Interior of hotel is fab.Room was lovely and spacious considering 4 of us shared a triple room.
Staff are lovely. Breakfast was good.Great selection.
Parking good. Hotel only 5-10 min walk down to city centre.
Would stay again.
Staff so friendly and helpful. The food from breakfast to evening meal was exceptional. The location is excellent. Our second time staying at Granville hotel and not disappointed. Looking forward to next stay.
Dooleys Hotel is the number 1 hotel in Waterford for people to stay in food is brilliant Rooms are so clean and the staff so friendly My thanks to Leanne Karen and Jennifer for their welcome and banter
The Mews are run by the hotel, meaning you get access to all the hotel facilities, which is great. Spacious mews is definitely better than a family room with kids and having own kitchen was great.
it was within close proximity to the city centre, there was on sight parking too which was a help, the layout of the hotel itself was labelled clearly and easy to follow
Good location just on the edge of the city centre, easy to walk to centre; view over river (but with distillery in front); secure private parking; use of hotel garden
