Noisy with Cold beans
Pros:

Check in was quick and friendly, food was excellent in the bar and staff were helpful.

Cons:

Room 201 was located right beside the double doors leading to the stairs and lifts, a few clumsy guests banged the doors against the wall and would feel like someone had kicked the door. Breakfast was OK, beans were unfortunately cold at 08.30am but everything else was passable. Oh and guest WiFi was very poor.

Best hotel in Waterford
Pros:

Amazing decor, very thoughtful bedroom design and nicest shower I've ever had.

Receptionist was very kind.

Cons:

Coffee machine, coffee not strong.

Pros:

La camera ben arredata e pulita era fornita di tutti i comfort. Colazione super! Dolce e salata, buona e abbondante.

Cons:

Avendo bisogno di una struttura con parcheggio abbiamo scelto questa soluzione che però era una po' defilata dal centro...con l' auto però nessun problema.

Great room food a let down.
Pros:

The room was great.
Comfortable beds, good size and bathroom was spotless.
Smart TV was a nice touch. We had our Netflix on.
Very warm but there was a fan in the room.

Cons:

The food wasn't great.
Breakfast was just ok, typical buffet. Cooked meats were warm at best and not great quality. Cheap, bland and the bacon was like leather.
We had dinner there the first night and the steak wasn't good. Not seasoned and not cooked well. Frozen chips, pepper sauce no flavour.
My daughter liked the chicken goujons.
