This is a clean well managed boutique hotel that has an excellent restaurant. The grounds which are 10 minutes from the centre of Waterford are well manicured and leaves you with the feeling of a country home.

2/10 Poor

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 The room was dark and outdated--the pillows were flat, the remote to the tiny television didn't work, the table was stained.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.

Disappointed
This hotel needs to be upgraded match the asking price. The rooms were quite old and it had, I think, a 12 inch TV ! Abit off the track from the main town and activities but breakfast was good.

Great Staff, hotel was old
The staff were fantastic, they were very helpful and the food at the hotel was fantastic, but the room we were given was old with peeling walls and smelt rather musty. 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.

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.

The room that we stayed for two nights was a bit dated and could have been given some TLC,But overall it is a nice Hotel that needs some investment on the decor in the bedrooms.The staff are friendly and polite too.
