Nice room, clean and comfortable. Two things that were a shame - it was cold. We stayed in November during very wet and windy weather and the heating in our rooms wasn’t on. Secondly, I would say 99% if the staff were lovely and attentive, and there were plenty of staff but the receptionist were not friendly a

We loved Waterford and the hotel. We almost couldn't fly home from Dublin and we were going to try to go back to Waterford and stay at Dooleys Hotel for as long as we were grounded! Unfortunately, we were able to fly out. Highly recommend!!

The hotel was beautiful. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was wonderful. We were served our food. We ate dinner in the bar restaurant. It was delicious and more than we could eat. Fabulous location as well.

A hotel lost in the bygone days

The hotel was a good size, with restaurant, bar, live music. The room was also a good size with a single bed besides the double bed. Overlooking the Quay at Waterford. The hotel did feel tired which was not helped by not having any water for the room, I had to nip to the local store. No safe in the room is unusual. We enjoyed our stay but probably would not return. This was not really a hotel for us. If it was brought back to 2025 then who knows.
