I am guessing I am not the only one because they added a super bright light to the middle step against the wall, with NO off switch. I had to cover it with a pillow! The shower pressure was weak. My window on the first floor faced the main entrance so all night I heard the pew pew sounds of the cross walk lights and the noisy traffic. I did not sleep well. The best part of the hotel was the included dinner - the chicken was really good!

Our trip brought us to Waterford and the Granville Hotel. It faces Meagher's Quay as did our…read moreroom. Our window however while it faced the water was positioned so you needed to stand on tippy toe to see out it. It is an older establishment but was quite comfortable. If you are limber enough you may get a room like ours on the upper floor. Elevator is small and takes a bit of time to get. Dinner was in the hotel's dining room - Bianconi Restaurant. After dinner we were treated to an Irish Coffee demo. That was informative and delicious. I had hesitated to get one when they were being made but caved when I tasted SO's. Centrally located, historic quaint. Enjoy while in Waterford.

The bathroom was grand, I'd a lovely bath here before going to bed. Instant hot water that filled the bath in no time at all, lush. Having no bath at home, this was a real luxury to me. The bar staff make a lovely Sex on the Beach I must say :) The breakfast the next morning was quite good, I wish I wasn't so tender so I could eat more. The toast the highlight for me. I don't know what it is about baskets of toast that you get at hotel breakfasts, nom nom! I would recommend the Tower and I would definitely stay here again.

We spent one night here in the town of Waterford…read more I liked the bar area as they had several different beers on tap and for our main meal which accommodated over forty people from our bus group, we had a bar a few steps away with one server. There was a line there with a few people as we ordered and retrieved our own beverages, but it was nice to have a bar to ourselves. The food was very good, but I remember vividly my girlfriend asked for her bacon to be cooked well and when they brought it out and it wasn't to her likening, the server replied, "What, you won't eat it like this?" To which, my girlfriend replied, "No." We had a bit of a chuckle about it later as I guess the waitress was pretty perturbed that she had to instruct the cook to fry it longer. There is a favorite bread around these parts called, Blaa. I have included a picture of it. Description from Wiki - A blaa /bl/, or Waterford Blaa, is a doughy, white bread bun (roll) speciality, particularly associated with Waterford, Ireland.[1] It is currently made in County Waterford and south County Kilkenny. The Blaa was soft and delish. I have also added a pic of the Blaa at the local market. Final thoughts, the hotel is a bit dated and older, but I was impressed with the food. All in all, I was happy with the hotel. As always people SYOY!!!

*This review pertains to Dooley's Hotel's breakfast ONLY!…read more Part of tour group going around Ireland, we stayed at Dooley's Hotel for the night and had breakfast here. Overall, this was a solid breakfast spread. From their hot breakfast menu, do yourself a favor and order their "Local 'Walsh's Bakehouse' Blaa". This is a sandwich served in a Waterford blaa (bread/roll) with sausage, rashers (i.e. bacon) and a fried egg. The Waterford blaa is the standout part of this sandwich with how doughy and soft it is, while the contents inside were excellent! This sandwich, with a side of fruit and a cup of coffee, is an excellent and filling way to start the day!

Gum, lollipops and small packs of lovehearts. How wonderful. Staff were very pleasant and nice to deal with. We didn't stay, but from all accounts it's a pleasant experience.

Not only that, children and groups of people congregated in the hallways into the "wee" hours. This is literally our only complaint, but dang...like what the heck? - Waterford was our first stop after more than 24 hours of travel...we were really feeling the jet lag and were looking forward to getting sleep so that we could adjust. Trying to stay asleep with the constant noise was basically impossible. (Maybe it was like this because we arrived on Friday and stayed through to Saturday?)

Love the Irish Hospitality. The people at the front desk gave us recommendations and helped us plan our few days there. Rooms : Rooms were large and clean. The bathrooms were large and clean too. We stayed in a triple bedroom as we were three girls and we had plenty of room for our luggage as well. Breakfast : the buffet breakfast was fabulous! It had Irish specialities as well as other things. Fresh fruit and yogurt, cereal, bread... name it and it was there. Bar : the bar had live music the days we were there and it was nice to be able to enjoy a few Guinness and just walk upstairs to the room. Overall, if I ever go back to Waterford, Dooley's is the place I would pick.

Very old fashioned room, old furniture, not very clean and thin walls. At night it was noisy, our room was above the entrance of the parking and also a lot of noise coming from the hallway. Next morning we checked out, only thing the receptionist could say was 'room number', no interest in whether we enjoyed our stay or whatsoever, not even a goodbye. All with all, I paid a lot of money as I booked two weeks before, rooms old and not great, staff depends. Wouldn't recommend it.

Staff were super friendly and helpful, the rooms were pretty large. They're relatively plain in decor I think for a boutique hotel, but beds were comfy and the shower was great! We didn't need a big meal, but if we had, the restaurant had a very reasonable 3 course dinner offer which we would definitely have taken advantage of. Again, from a peek round the door, the restaurant looks like a nice place to go whether you're in residence or not. Our deal didn't include breakfast, although it is available. We chose to go to Waterford centre instead, knowing it'd be a bit cheaper there. Definitely would recommend this hotel- especially for the room price.
