"Beautiful building, well maintained and super helpful front of house staff"
"We had a wonderful stay at Dooleys in Waterford. The room was cleane and spacious. The location was great."
"Staff was excellent. We had inquired about laundry services through the expedia app. When we arrived, she had researched local places, as the inhouse had a 24hour turnaround service, but we were only staying 1 night."
Treacy's Hotel Waterford Spa & Leisure Centre
Treacy's Hotel Waterford Spa & Leisure Centre"Great to have onsite decent gym with studio. Pool and spa. Restaurant had live music sat and sun nights while i was there. Was packed of locals and guests. Breakfast was tasty. Parking is only a short walk away. I was in the new area of the hotel which was a bit of an internal maze to get to (few stairs - there are lifts). But room overlooked river and bed was comfortable. Didn’t get any noise from the gym considering it was close to room. Enjoyed my stay."
