Offering spacious rooms, free parking, and hearty Irish breakfasts, Waterford Viking Hotel is less than a 10-minute drive from Waterford city centre. It features free Wi-Fi, and daily carvery lunches.

Each bright room at the Viking Hotel has satellite TV and complimentary tea and coffee making facilities. Rooms also feature a private bathroom and hairdryer.

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.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Very welcoming. Nice quiet location, but near the city centre. Room facilities (tea/coffee making, good sized TV etc...) were hotel standard. Nice view from my room window. Good choice at breakfast (I wasn't expecting breakfast, didn't realise it was included).

    Everything! We loved the beautiful design and history of the hotel. The location is perfect as you step out the door and the city centre is right there. The bedroom was so nice, comfortable and quiet. Above all, the staff were fantastic! From the first hello at the reception desk to the very busy wait staff in the bar and the restaurant, they couldn't do enough for us. We can't recommend it highly enough. ☺️
