The room was perfect, much more than we had expected! It was named Room, Margaret Maxon Power Room. It was a gorgeous Room! And the bathroom was divinely good, with everything, that we might need.
Dinner was good, but breakfast was perfect! The staff was extremely helpful!

Excellent location. Right on the wharf and quiet at night. Loved the towel warmer 💖

The location is great. 20-25 minute drive from Waterford, and the room looks right over the coast. You can walk straight to the beach. The staff who checked me in was super friendly and accommodating, even though she told me she wasn't expecting a guest. The sound of the waves at night had me asleep in no time. The restaurant part of the bar is closed during the winter season though. Room was a good size, bathroom was mostly clean and serviceable, bed was comfy. The heater in the room worked very well. (Pic of bed was taken as I was leaving.)
Waterford surprised us. The museums are great, we enjoyed especially the Bishop's palace. All the people we interacted with were very nice, kind and helpful. The Waterford people and city council have done a great job in this last 10 years. We will go again

I liked the fact that staff changed me to another room when I complained about the noise of the boiler. However the room we stayed in was freezing and this was February and it was cold.
The staff need to be a bit flexible about breakfast times. The receptionist would not accept that we would come down between 9.30 and 10am or even at 10 minutes to 10am. She said that we had to give her an exact time to book the table! We said 10.am, which she accepted but when we got to breakfast the tables were cleared and staff said that we could have a cooked breakfast only. We stood our ground given the night we had and we did get the breakfast we would have got had she allowed us to come down at 9.45am. We got a strong impression was that it was all about what was convenient for the staff as opposed to looking after the customer. Such a pity.

I moved to Dublin earlier this year.
I moved to Dublin earlier this year. I've been to most Irish cities at this point. I decided to get out of Dublin for the night and came to Waterford on fairly short notice.
Perhaps it was the (rare) nice weather, but Waterford is now one of my favorite cities in Ireland and was the perfect place *for me* to spend ~24 hours. Note that I usually race around from the moment of arrival to the moment of leaving, so others might enjoy all that Waterford has to offer - King of The Vikings VR experience, the Time Museum, the Irish Wake museum, some silly crystal place (albeit with an impressive company store,) Constitution Square, the Medieval Museum, Bishops Palace Museum, the Silver Museum, the river bank, building murals, etc. - for two or three days.
By the way, several of those museums can be seen for one ~15-euro pass, easily bought online the day of arrival (such as I did!) There might be even cheaper options; check before you go! I'm not a museum person, but even I enjoyed everything above. https://visitwaterford.com/vw_news/waterford-treasures-launches-freedom-of-waterford-tour/
I stayed at the Waterford Marina hotel which offered a great view of the river, albeit for 160 USD for my one night there. (Did I mention I decided to go with almost no notice? This was what was available!)

Drizzle rain and rain can happen, be prepared, it is Ireland. Lots of Touristy things to do if you like doing those things. Cost of regular clothing is inexpensive and easily obtained. The pints at The Exchange were 4.60 euro, a very good price. Tipping is not expected and does not show up on tap readers or bills. There is construction throughout Ireland however if the country side is your calling, it is not far away and is very, very enchanting.

Waterford City has a harbour front which is lined with parking and the highest rated hotels in the area (Granvilles, The Tower Hotel etc.) which all provide nice places to eat and drink. There are a number of museums in the area, one of the newest being the Wake Museum which is quirky as it's all about how the Irish celebrate death and features costumed staff so is well worth a visit.

Don’t be in a hurry to leave Waterford!
Don’t be in a hurry to leave Waterford! There are so many wonderful places and exhibits to enjoy, from the museum to Waterford glass, to the Viking trail…. and the Tower Hotel is the perfectly placed base for all these and more… and I mustn’t forget to mention the friendly local people too. Enjoy!
We were extremely satisfied with the hotel and the wonderful staff. The reception from the staff at the front desk was very pleasent and very helpful on information for the area . The staff from the restaurant was above helpful and the cleaning staff was very good and the room and rest of hotel was sparkling clean. We already have told friends to come to your hotel. The staff in the breakfast were a pleasure to be with. We felt very comfortable
Thank you.
It's in a good location for the old city centre at a reasonable price, the. room was spacious and the bathroom was fine. The bar/ restaurant was ok with a good selection of dining options. Staff were fine. It's only 5-10 mins walk to the Cathedral, Waterford Crystal factory/showroom and old town centre. There is good parking directly opposite the hotel, which if purchased in advance online is not expensive. Plenty of breakfast options.
Everything! We loved the beautiful design and history of the hotel. The location is perfect as you step out the door and the city centre is right there. The bedroom was so nice, comfortable and quiet. Above all, the staff were fantastic! From the first hello at the reception desk to the very busy wait staff in the bar and the restaurant, they couldn't do enough for us. We can't recommend it highly enough. ☺️
The location is key with this property - we were able to walk to all the sites we were interested in seeing, including the Waterford Crystal Factory (which is actually an exceptional tour). We ate unbelievably great food in this city and visited wonderful pubs. The bar in this hotel is fabulous - we loved the bar tenders and discovered their signature drink . . . a whiskey sour. Don't pass it up!
We booked this hotel looking at the amazing reviews and the location just 5 mins away from the city centre. The check in went so smooth, the staff were so welcoming and friendly. We wanted to change our room and we got it immediately without any wait. The best part about this hotel was the friendly atmosphere, the breathtaking view and the kind staff. Will definitely recommend this place❤
Friendly and helpful staff. Very welcoming. Nice quiet location, but near the city centre. Room facilities (tea/coffee making, good sized TV etc...) were hotel standard. Nice view from my room window. Good choice at breakfast (I wasn't expecting breakfast, didn't realise it was included).
It was amazing. They hotel was so clean and beautiful surrounding. Can’t believe it’s a 4 star. Should be a 5 star. Staff were so helpful and well mannered. Very organised and very friendly. Loved it from start to finished. Going to come back for a last weekend.
Beautiful hotel and the location is lovely, right on the water. Easy walk to the Viking Triangle and shops. Rooms were very comfortable and impeccably clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Also we ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was delicious.
I booked and committed to pay at the travelodge ,there was one non national on duty and was unable to take payment ,I left the property and booked the marina hotel . couldn't get a refund ,disgusted as I'm a frequent user of booking.com
The location was excellent. The staff at the Hotel reception were courteous and helpful. The chalet probably needed updating in some areas eg TV sound system.
