Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good hotel but in the middle of a refurbishment so lift did not work on arrival
Good room and food so the rest was fine
The service was outstanding, the room was renovated recently, and in very nice shape, everything was clean and orderly, and the breakfast the next day was good.
Love the staff, great breakfast, and the other food is meant to be excellent. Carpets need a clean, stairs, hallways, and Room 204 ( maybe more).
Nicely situated and I use it as few alternatives
The staff couldnt have been friendlier. Nicely-appointed rooms and property. However, it’s a pretty noisy place. We heard mechanical systems through the window, doors slamming, even conversations of our neighbors throughout the night.

The hotel is really worn out. Old dirty carpeting. Misleading ad says it is 1mi from Waterford vs 7mi
Front end Staff were great. Very helpful. Room large with a King bed, Loved that the room had a tub, in room mini fridge and coffee station. Lots of room to hang clothes and storage for luggage. Restaurants was good selection, nice atmosphere.
A little further from the center then I realized so I did alot of walking to sights and other transportation as I did not have car.. (a me problem not theirs- lol.
The staff in the lobby were absolutely amazing. They were accommodating and helpful. The rooms were clean. Hotel is within a few minutes of the city center.
Much nicer on the inside compared to the look of the outside. Had to explain what a white wine spritzer was but food was good. Staff didnt always understand what we were saying. On an industrial site which we weren't aware of when booked.
nice hotel, but not close to downtown and other restaurants/pubs. Restaurant in the hotel was good, hotel was clean and staff friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Room comfort
Hotel is extremely noisy. Didn’t get any sleep on both nights. Manager unable to deal with drunk Gaelic team parents in reception. Meanwhile, children running up and down corridor banging on other guests doors. I thought it was illegal for children to be in the bar at 2am in Ireland. Complained on several occasions but nothing done nor apology offered until
I complained with other guests. Soft close needs to be placed on doors. No air conditioning in rooms either. Will not be back. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
The room was clean. The radiator was on and set to 20. Room was rather warm, it was 18 outside, so got a bit of a breeze when I opened the window. It has a timer to go off at 8pm and back on 8am. You cannot control the temp of it either. Took a few hours to cool down with the window, but by 11pm it was fine again. Overall it was ok for a night.
