Pros:

Location Staff and Room

Cons:

Hotel had 18th Birthday Party booked on the Second night of our stay. Music was unbelievably loud and went on untill 1:30 in the morning. There is absolutely no way you could sleep when this was going on. The hotel should let you know before hand if party is booked because they would know that it is impossible for guest to sleep which is very unfair

Great room , terrible food
Pros:

The room was lovely and clean and very comfortable with great views, great room for thd price

Cons:

The food , went for a meal on the first night of our visit, ordered a roast dinner and a steak ciabatta, the roast came without mash and a sprig of broccoli, as they had no mash or veg left, but dud not tell us when ordering, and the steak was inedible, I physically stretched the steak in front of the staff to show it could not be eaten, they gave me a beef roll instead and charged full price for the original order, needles to say we didn't eat there for tge remainder of the stay

Kein Service und unsauber
Pros:

Nicht viel. Die Lage war ok und die Dusche auch.

Cons:

Das Personal war quasi nicht vorhanden. Das Zimmer schmutzig. Der Teppich voller Flecken. Es wurden in sechs nicht einmal die Handtücher gewechselt oder der Papierkorb geleert. Neues Toilettenpapier gab es nur auf Nachfrage wenn die Reinigungskraft gerade mal da war. Zusätzlich wurde uns kurz vor der Anreise mitgeteilt das es kein Frühstück gibt und man 7 Kilometer fahren soll um ein überteuertes Frühstück in einem Hotel nehmen soll, wo es dann 15 Prozent Rabatt gibt. Nicht empfehlenswert!

A super stay by the sea
Pros:

It’s a lovely accommodation by the sea, with easy access to Waterford by car and Wexford by ferry. The staff are great and dinner was delicious!

Cons:

N/A (as dinner was delicious, we look forward to a breakfast offering in the future!)
