Would not recommend ##### Kathie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Corey Aug 19, 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Shabby basement rooms in a rough neighborhood What an unfortunate welcome to Waterford. We paid premium to stay at this hotel to enjoy a historic Waterford building, however, we were shunted into the basement, accessible only by a staff elevator, and next to storage rooms. The front desk is always empty so at both check in and check out, we had to wait in the lobby for someone to come by. In fact, this was the only time we were able to even get a glimpse of the building. The room was dark and outdated--the pillows were flat, the remote to the tiny television didn't work, the table was stained. There was no kettle, so you couldn't even enjoy a cup of tea in the morning. The only perk about the room was the bathroom which had a very powerful shower and a nice tub. I found myself in the bath just to avoid the horrible bedroom. The location is horrible as well--it is over a half hour walk to town, by busy highways with lorries zipping by just inches away because there is no safe sidewalk. It also requires that you walk through rough neighborhoods with gangs of loud teenagers roaming around--the businesses are protected with bulletproof glass. I didn't even know such rough places existed in Ireland--it was only after we checked out of our hotel and explored the town the next day that we began to enjoy our day. I felt sure I would be robbed or worse getting to and from the hotel. I feel utterly deceived that I paid a premium price for a supposedly premium hotel only to be dumped in a basement in a bad neighborhood. ##### Corey Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise Aug 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice indeed,staff very pleased and really helpful. ##### Louise Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony, Australia Jul 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Character hotel in nice grounds Mansion now converted to a hotel so has lots of character and nice grounds.

The mattress was ancient and the springs popped when you moved, and the TV was about the size of a laptop screen on the wall. I hope they do the rooms up soon as it would be a lovely room if it was fixed up a bit. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### lorraine Mar 9, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent location with great views Service brilliant.

The hotel is modern downstairs with a lovely restaurant and sitting area. .. Overall the experience good .. the restaurant menu very good. ##### Val Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Penelope M Feb 26, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disappointing/Tired old hotel The hotel is very tired in terms of decor and the two double rooms we had on the ground level were AWFUL - the beds wrecked, the bathrooms in dire need of replacement; the bedding was poor - infact the whole thing was AWFUL. I gather from speaking to the staff that some of the upper floors had been refurbished - so I would strongly recommend anyone booking this hotel to check out when the mattresses were replaced! The food was fairly average, but the staff were wonderful; could not fault their service. The other issue that I could not miss on leaving the hotel was the fact that the Fire Door was locked by the disabled exit at the front of the hotel........... I commented on it in a loud voice, and we noticed that the receptionist (who had worked there for 11 years, she told me) went to unlock it. Hmm........NOT GOOD. ##### Penelope M ### 10/10 Excellent #### David and Ciar, Louth, Ireland.

Heating appears to be turned off more than on resulting in the need for an additional heater in the room Wall TV was only slightly larger than my iPad! Needs an upgrade (the wall TV, not my iPad) Heated Bathroom towel rail was not heated With a few small investmemnts to revitalise the hotel I think this could eb a good one but sadly, right now, I would not recommend to you. ##### Antony Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Reuben Nov 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Lovely food but mattress was worn out and lumpy. ##### Reuben Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Oct 7, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Room not ready, and restaurant terrible The room was not ready at check in time, our beds were not the same height as each other's. There was a bus parked at our window all night. It was a terrible experience for us. We went to the restaurant and felt like we had been transported back to the early 90's. The food was edible and my drink was terrible. There were two big parties happening in the restaurant with us, that were loud. It was not a very nice place to eat. There was also a child playing notes on the piano that did not add to the atmosphere. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 2, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort we had a great stay at the Athenaeum House Hotel and Waterford too. We also took advantage of the restaurant for dinner and found the meal exquisite. Service and attitude from all staff that we encountered was also 2nd to none. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 18, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Needs a complete remodel Hotel living on past glory. Rooms last refurbished when Hector was a pup. Mattresses were thin and hard. An eight aging to a six. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobh-Hotels-Commodore-Hotel.h2226786.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Shannon Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Shannon-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Shannon-Airport.h1095.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Cong-Hotels-Ashford-Castle.h76936.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabra Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingscourt-Hotels-Cabra-Castle-Hotel.h114456.Hotel-Information) > > [Powerscourt Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Enniskerry-Hotels-Powerscourt-Hotel.h1680006.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Dublin Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Dublin-Airport.h1042443.Hotel-Information) > > [Dingle Skellig Hotel & Peninsula Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dingle-Hotels-Dingle-Skellig-Hotel-Peninsula-Spa.h5282541.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Limerick](https://www.expedia.ca/Limerick-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Spa.h898071.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Athlone](https://www.expedia.ca/Athlone-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h1076553.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochestown Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Rochestown-Lodge-Hotel-Spa.h1094620.Hotel-Information) > > [Abbey Court](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Abbey-Court.h13231806.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Grand-Hotel.h45673.Hotel-Information) > > [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Thomastown-Hotels-Mount-Juliet-Estate.h891736.Hotel-Information) > > [Trump International Golf Links And Hotel Doonbeg Ireland](https://www.expedia.ca/Doonbeg-Hotels-Trump-International-Golf-Links-And-Hotel-Doonbeg-Ireland.h1579827.Hotel-Information) > > [Ballyseede Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Tralee-Hotels-Ballyseede-Castle.h525340.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Hotel.h1453052.Hotel-Information) > > [Kilkea Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Kilkea-Hotels-Kilkea-Castle.h21240683.Hotel-Information) > > [The River Lee Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cork-Hotels-The-River-Lee-Hotel.h13650.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Hodson Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Athlone-Hotels-Hodson-Bay-Hotel.h2197837.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels.d4138.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Shamrock Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Athlone-Hotels-Shamrock-Lodge-Hotel.h4641300.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yul/vancouver-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Philippine Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Philippine-Airlines-Flights.cPR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal)
