We were told at check in that we could only settle the bill in cash. I am from the UK so had to go to a cash point and pay charges, currency conversion etc, we should have been told this before arrival. In addition place is advertised as a Bed and Breakfast, but it's not what you'd expect. It's continental style, this again should be made clear. Nice clean and tidy house but it's not what I expected. Just be honest and upfront then people know what to expect.

Lovely place but the breakfast arrangements are poor. I knew it wouldn’t be a cooked breakfast but the bread and cereal etc that were left for us were cheap, no fruit juice etc. unfortunately this has let them down in my opinion as otherwise a great place near the Center

The best things about this property were that it was clean and the bed was comfortable. However, the room was very small for a double - the bed fitted in the room but it was difficult to walk around it and the bathroom was tiny. I would advise other travellers that the property does not serve breakfast as such. There is a breakfast room where a range of cereals and milk are available, as well as bread, jam, butter and a toaster. If you want tea and coffee, you need to bring it from your room (not a hardship as such, but it would have been nice to be able to make a drink in the breakfast room).

The room was clean and owners quite friendly. However, this is not a B and B- they do not offer breakfast. And restaurants are about a 15-20 minute walk. We would have liked to have know that ahead of time Otherwise, nice room and friendly service!

STAY FAR AWAY!!!!
I first want to start off with the host. He was very friendly and welcoming. But afterwards, it just went downhill from there. Had to be placed in the house a few doors down and was told they were not serving breakfast, which I paid for. When I entered my room, it was super tiny and my head kept hitting the seiling. I basically had to crawl around the room. The room condition appeared to be forgotten about, as there were holes and dents, and the sheets and pillows were stained. Yuck! Just disgusting!!! Good thing I brought my sleeping bag and own pillow. The toilet was situated in the worst possible spot when it was practically impossible to use it. Knees kept banging into the wall in front of me. The shared shower was extremely tiny and impractical to even enjoy a shower. My arms kept hitting the sides, and I'm not even a big guy. There was no window to open and it was super warm in there and I was sweating the whole time. Thank god it was just for 1 night. It was just terrible. Probably the worst place I've ever stayed at. So many other places in town that are much better I'm sure. This place literally felt like I was a prisoner in an attic or in one of those under the stairs rooms.

The Vee
The room was clean but cold even with the heating on and the bed was quite uncomfortable. There was a bottle of water on the tea station and the water in it had green mold growing inside it. The shared bathroom was pretty grimy in particular the shower.

I chose this property for a weekend stayover as it included breakfast. On arrival I was told no breakfast were being served but no offer of refund. It cost me an extra 16 euro for breakfasts over the 3 days. I think this breaks advertising rules.

The breakfast area was comfortable, albeit a bit small. The property is very hard to find. Google maps could not direct us. The house is located just a few feet from a very busy road, with our room facing that road. The proprty is within walking distance of downtown Waterford. Our 3-person room was very small and cramped. The reservation was for a deluxe family suite, but we had a double bed and 2 twins crammed into a very small room. The worst part was that there wasn't any place for us to go, besides the breakfast area. No where to relax, such as a lounge. We didn't have any chairs in our room. Also, the parking area out front for guests wss very small. Thankfully, the two other patrons didnt have vehicles.

I cannot say enough good things about this B&B. The house is beautiful with a lovely sitting area in the garden. The hostess was very friendly and informative. The breakfast was fabulous and a great start to the day. Other B&B's could take lessons from our hostess Helena.

Brilliant place to stay
The Vee was a brilliant place to stay - the owner was very hospitable and flexible. The other guests were mostly other people on their own. My room, with a double bed, was a little small, but fine for one person, with lots of storage space. The bathroom was next door. All the rooms are on the ground floor. All spotlessly clean and a huge breakfast. A 10 minute walk out of town.

Bumped to another B&B
I arrived and attempted to check in, only to be told that I had been bumped to a B&B down the street. Apparently the owners of the Vee had been trying to make contact with me but didn't have any contact details. We were walked to the other B&B, told that she wouldn't be able to check us in for some time and then left to our own devices.

Problème de réservation
Problème non résolu. À l'arrivée, une SEULE chambre triple proposée alors que deux réservations avaient été effectuées, une double et une simple. Obligation pour nous de rechercher un autre hébergement à Waterford.

Pas convaincant
Personnellement, je me suis sentie trop à l'étroit pour être à l'aise. Alors qu'il était écrit petit déjeuner pour 2 sur la réservation à hôtel.com, nous avons appris à l'arrivée que ça ne serait pas le cas, à cause des mesures Covid. La salle de petit déjeuner était peut être trop petite, si nous étions seuls, ou avec une bonne organisation, cela devait être faisable. Bref, un peu déçus.
