Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers basic but comfortable rooms overlooking the river, needing upgrading especially in the bathrooms. The service is very friendly and welcoming, with good value for money. The location is nice right on the river, close to shops, pubs, and the center of Waterford. The dining experience is good, with cooked-to-order breakfast and plenty of choices. The hotel lacks fresh fruit in dining options but provides a great night's sleep and locally caught fish. The facilities are satisfactory.
Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were lovely in size and had a good amount of heat plus a window that opens, making it bright, airy, and extremely spacious. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and tidy, but the noise in the morning from the boiler room and surrounding residential area was a downside. The staff, from reception to the bar and waitresses, were very friendly and pleasant. The location was stunning with fantastic views, but there were some issues with noise near the outside pub doors. The dining options provided plenty of choice, but I wished there were more fresh fruit selections.
The hotel is perfectly located right on the river with easy access to the town center. The rooms, though spacious, can get a bit hot at times. The service was exceptional with friendly and helpful staff, but the evening porter visits might not suit everyone. Dining options were varied and enjoyable, while the price for the facilities offered was deemed worth it by many guests.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was nice, with everything I needed for my one-night stay and a view of the river at the back of the hotel. It was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and I was lucky to have a superior room with great space, comfort, and fantastic views. The service was mostly very friendly and helpful, but a bit slow-moving at times. The location was fantastic, close to the city center and within walking distance of all local attractions. The dining experience was good, with tasty and varied options, although the food wasn't very hot. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were perfect and extremely clean, offering a lovely view and quiet ambiance as requested. The service was top-notch, with polite and attentive staff. The location was excellent, close to the city center but peaceful, overlooking the river. The dining experience was varied and satisfying, although a bit crowded at times.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with great views of the water and young adults enjoying the area. The rooms were spotless, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with limited options. The location is convenient and relaxing, making it a perfect choice for a weekend getaway in Waterford.
My stay at this hotel was fantastic. The rooms were nice and spacious, just like my previous visit. The only downside was some noise from the upstairs room late at night, but overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back again.
Upon arrival, the room was filthy, with snots on the pillows and leftover hairs in the bath. However, the view of the river from the back was a nice surprise, and the location near a lovely housing development was a treat.
