I really wanted to like this property! It’s in a beautiful location and has great views! The dining option in the hotel are also great! However the shower caulking and grout had something black/blown on it. Only a handful of the staff were friendly and welcoming. I could hear a lot of external noise from my room.

This hotel was in a great location to all of the Waterford sights. It was really close to the train station as well. The rooms were large and clean.

Central location and convenient parking across the street. We received a warm welcome and a lovely breakfast was included each morning. A central location to many of the city's attractions.

First off - the hotel doesn’t have its own parking, but I believe the description on Expedia claims it has parking. Second - the room I was given was the most uncomfortable night in Ireland for me. It was a back corner room above a loud bar where loud stereo music played till past midnight. Room was humid and stuffy so I had to leave a window open. Mind you, this was the most expensive of my hotels in Ireland. To make matters worse, I was greeted by a yellow rag sitting in the trash bin as soon as I entered the room, and the hand towel in the bathroom had hair on it. Needless to say, I never got to relax here. The staff seems clueless.

Really pleasant staff, on reception and in restaurant. We ate in the restaurant on the night of our trip and the food was lovely. Only down to the stay was that the place was a little dated, otherwise a pleasant stay.

Unhelpful staff at check in. They acted like they were doing me a favour by checking us in. We needed to park our car in the area the website implied they provided. Very expensive parking and needed to set up an online account with personal information they should not have needed.

The hotel is an older property but very well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. The rooms were a bit hot with no ac, but in our room, we were able to open the window all the way, so our room stayed comfortably cool. The couple who we traveled with had a window that only opened a small amount at the top, so their room was a bit on the warm side. The hotel is an easy walk to the downtown Waterford sightseeing attractions, though I think we were kind of on the border of a more run down neighborhood. However I never felt unsafe at all. Parking in the public lot across the street was very reasonable once we learned to use the online parking app, and easy to access. I would recommend Dooley's as a good value for the money.
