Dooleys Hotel Waterford City

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!!

Very helpful staff on arrival. Clean and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast with plenty of staff so no delays.

Good staff. Good breakfast. Comfortable room.

Fantastic experience, staff so friendly and attentive.

Hotel is in a great location. You can walk everywhere. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. Good food in the bar. Would stay again if ever visiting Waterford.

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.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, great walkable location.

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.

Room was clean and comfortable but you can hear all the noise from neighbouring rooms and the corridors. The staff at the front desk were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very nice. Overall a pleasant stay.

Check in was very helpful and the breakfast setting and food were excellent

This hotel was quiet, comfortable and amazing. The property around the hotel was clean, tidy right on the waterfront and pleasant to walk around. The hotel itself was bright, friendly and clean.

Quiet and clean

Easy walking to most tourist sites in Waterford

We have stayed at Dooley's before and found it just as good this time. Very nice!

Great hotel to stay in

Great location.

Dooleys hotel is amazing the staff are so friendly and the hotel is spotless. The food is really good

Great 2 night stay. First time in Dooleys . Fab friendly staff. I'll be back !

Excellent hotel well placed in walking distance of City centre and bus station just across the road

We stayed here 3 nights with our 3 month old. From the moment we arrived the staff were very cheerful and accommodating. We don't usually go for breakfast when away but as it was included we thought why not?! Breakfast was tasty, good variety of options especially as I'm a vegetarian. The staff set us up a table away from everyone with our baby where there was plenty of space for the pushchair, definite bonus. The family room was spacious, the beds comfy and the water in the shower hot. I've seen a few reviews who said it was cold - if that was the case I'd say they have resolved that, we had to turn our radiator down. It was great that we could alter the temperature and even open a window. The only let down was that they did not have fridges available for the rooms and my daughter's milk. However they did provide ice buckets and allow us to store things in their fridge downstairs. We ate dinner and lunch in the bar, the food was tasty and generous in size. Our only suggestion would be to stock 0.0 Guinness. Overall a great stay - particularly for a 3*. We would definitely stay again.
