Waterford surprised us.
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.
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❤
The Breakfast was made of two parts cold i.e. cereal and Porridge. and a cooked element, it can only be described as Superb.
The Room was overlooking the River Suir, lots of interest there, The Waterford City and Country are building a new Foot Bridge across the River right outside the Granville hotel, awesome !.
Right beside the River, what could be better.
The breakfast was beautiful some much choices,the location was excellent 10 min walk to the centre of town,and the staff and food in hotel was exceptional, was our first time staying here and certainly won't be our last,highly recommend the marina Hotel we had ah fantastic time,
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.
Go on, prebook the the breakfast. They give several options other than a full Irish, which was good and comes with two eggs. The eggs Benedict are good too.
It's a great historic hotel with the modern amenities that are needed. Central to the downtown area.
A lovely reasonably priced hotel with welcoming staff always willing to help . The hotel is about a ten minute walk from the city centre , if walking is not your thing then there is a bus stop further up the road.
The Mews are run by the hotel, meaning you get access to all the hotel facilities, which is great. Spacious mews is definitely better than a family room with kids and having own kitchen was great.
Good location just on the edge of the city centre, easy to walk to centre; view over river (but with distillery in front); secure private parking; use of hotel garden
The location of the hotel was near all the historic attractions.All the staff were friendly and helpful.From the hotel to the city centre was within 10 minutes walk.
Cozy hotel, rooms were comfortable, bar/restaurant had fantastic food and was a nice place to relax after a day of wandering around New Ross, Waterford, and Wexford!
