Top Waterford Hotel Reviews

Waterford Marina Hotel

8/10 Good

"Just a bit old and needs new carpet, pillows flat, bed fairly hard. Restaurant had great food!! Dinner and breakfast delicious front desk helpful and friendly"

The Club House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was exceptional - very friendly and welcoming. Helpful in making suggestions for a more comfortable stay, recommendations on local sites, and ensuring we had everything we needed. Communication was proactive - loved the room we had. Breakfast meal was very well prepared and tasted wonderful. Parking was a little challenging to find (even with their proactive directions) but was very good once we got there."

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

8/10 Good

"Well worth the stay for the $200 we paid for one night. Room was spacious and had a Queen, two Twins, and a bunk bed in a side alcove. I’m told it goes for far more, but we enjoyed the night. The pool and gym are good, but they required you to purchase a $5 swim cap if you don’t have one. We’ll be back if we can book a longer stay at a similar price. Enjoy. 3.5 stars out of 5!"

Fitzwilton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay. Staff were very nice and helpful. Food was lovely."

Treacy's Hotel Waterford Spa & Leisure Centre

8/10 Good

"Everything was fine, I enjoyed my stay at Tracy's Waterford. Have stayed here before. My only complaint is I have mobility issues, my car was parked in the carpark. There were 3 vans parked outside the Hotel, 1 man obligated me by moving his van make space for my car. I booked out of the hotel, I went to the carpark with 1 bag. my suitcase was in storage, when I returned with my car. A 4th van parked in the last space. So I had to leave my car out on the road with the Hazard lights on, disrupting the cars in the 1st lane, so they had to go around my car to move up to the traffic lights at the bridge. There are no other alternative choice for anyone in such circumstances, I mentioned this to the receptionist when I came back to collect my suitcase. Those men were plumbers and electricians and other tradesmen working at the hotel using the available space outside the hotel for customers. While at the same time saving on parking fees . As management you need to look at this issue from a business sense point of view."

The Granville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Despite being an older property this hotel has kept the best of the past and integrated it with currently accepted standards. The hotel and staff couldn't be better. The room was comfortable and had a lovely table next to the window seating area for two with a large table next to the window. Walking to your room every staff member greeted you with a welcome and a smile. The location was great and for our first visit to Waterford itvset the stage."

Travelodge Waterford

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

Viking Hotel Waterford

10/10 Excellent

"The location on the outskirts of Waterford is ideal for outings to e.g. the Copper Coast drive or to Mount Congreve Gardens. The hotel is clean, modern and very stylish. My room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. My evening meals in the restaurant were very good. My only critical observation would be that perhaps the waiters could be a little more courteous. All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Waterford."

Waterford Castle

10/10 Excellent

"It is such an unusual venue for a couple from Texas we were totally in awe. The staff were trained very well or were hired because of their outstanding talents."
