The room was lovely, quiet and comfortable. The hotel has an excellent location, within easy walking distance of the centre of town. Staff suggested a great, easy place for dinner on the first night, as we arrived late, so thank you

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.

Waterford City has a harbour front which is lined with parking and the highest rated hotels in the area (Granvilles, The Tower Hotel etc.) which all provide nice places to eat and drink. There are a number of museums in the area, one of the newest being the Wake Museum which is quirky as it's all about how the Irish celebrate death and features costumed staff so is well worth a visit.

Don’t be in a hurry to leave Waterford!
Don’t be in a hurry to leave Waterford! There are so many wonderful places and exhibits to enjoy, from the museum to Waterford glass, to the Viking trail…. and the Tower Hotel is the perfectly placed base for all these and more… and I mustn’t forget to mention the friendly local people too. Enjoy!
The location is key with this property - we were able to walk to all the sites we were interested in seeing, including the Waterford Crystal Factory (which is actually an exceptional tour). We ate unbelievably great food in this city and visited wonderful pubs. The bar in this hotel is fabulous - we loved the bar tenders and discovered their signature drink . . . a whiskey sour. Don't pass it up!
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.
Directly on the waterfront with free parking this hotel is ideal for those visiting this historic town.
Our room was comfortable and the included breakfast was good, plenty of choice.
All the staff we met were efficient and friendly.
A few minutes walk to the city centre.
The ideal place to stay in Waterford.
We enjoyed our stay at the Dooley's Hotel. The whole hotel had a very nice interior. The triple room was nice and we had three separate beds which we really appreciated.
The location was just near the city centre and the staff was really friendly. The bar looked nice and had live music.
Our hotel stay was great and relaxing.
The food in the evening and the breakfast was excellent. Very clean and comfortable.
The location was perfect as the shops and bars were just around the corner.
I would definitely recommend staying at the Granville hotel
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.
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
The room was lovely, quiet and comfortable. The hotel has an excellent location, within easy walking distance of the centre of town. Staff suggested a great, easy place for dinner on the first night, as we arrived late, so thank you
The staff was very friendly. The shower in the room was fabulous. The breakfast was decent and they did have Gluten Free options.
The window could open in the hotel room, to get rid of the deep fried food smell.
Lovely location, Excellent meals and a great Irish Breakfast. Staff could not be more accommodating. Would have stayed another night but unfortunately Hotel was booked out. Would definitely stay again.
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.
