Think before booking
My partner and I stayed at this hotel on the 11th and 12th May 2013.What you see on the website of this hotel is far from reality as the pictures may have been taken when the rooms etc were virtually new/refurbished.We found the room to be in a very bad state so much so that I met with the manager of the day on the 12th and reported the following, dirty bedspread,badly soiled pillows,used cups had not been cleaned, opened bottled water not replaced, glasses contained partly used water, dust behind TV may have been there for months, bathroom window could not be shut for fear of falling off to name a few. After my meeting with the manager he himself came to the room after which he came back to try to rectify things but it only slightly helped I informed him that i would contact the owners of this hotel with that he informed me that the owner would be on duty on the morning of the 13th our departure date. My partner and I met with the owner and put to the points to him and suggested the only thing to do would be to completely shut down and refurbish the hotel, we also informed him that we had had lunch out on the Sunday less expensive and the hotel we ate at was within one euro of what he was charging for accommodation, this hotel was in the Waterford Town centre and in comparison could be rated five star. At the conclusion of our meeting he reduced our charge by 120 euros and promised he would take on board our comments, it remains to be seen.

Nice hotel with some flaws
I brought my family for a one night stay in two rooms on May 9th 2013. The hotel is situated a bit out of town, but it has a nice old world charm to it. The staff are all really nice and professional.The rooms however have been allowed to deteriorate some. So in room 207 where my father stayed there was clear water damage in the ceiling with pain peeling off, not very invitingly looking, and should have been fixed. And the mattresses were in a poor shape, one of them was so worn when you sat on it you hit the bottom of the mattress. The bedrooms and beds simply need some work and investment and were a disappointment for us. (In fairness though we did manage all of us to get a good nights sleep.The restaurant and "library" were really nice, great food, great service, good wine list, and the rooms look fantastic, what you really want from a house hotel! Breakfast was equally nice, so all up that helped pull the rating to 3. Judging the rooms alone I would go more with a one or two!!!

Nice break away
Stayed here for a night and booked out the bridal suite for a treat. The room was very nice but I was expecting ALOT more for a bridal suite. Good thing we weren't getting married it would have been very disappointing. It was advertised with a Jacuzzi but on arrival it was only a normal 1 person bath with jacuzzi features.The food in the restaurant was gorgeous. The major downside to this hotel was that is was so so quiet. Even though there were many other guests there even in the restaurant there was no music at all and everyone could hear your conversations. No privacy at all. The hotel is run by very few staff and you will notice the reception is not always occupied as you will see the same people working in the bar / restaurant and reception.I would still stay again as it was good value for what it was.

Good deal
We stayed here for one night on a Living Social deal for ¿¿¿75 (I think) which included one night stay, a glass of wine each, chocolate dipped strawberries (one strawberry each sliced up), a voucher for the restaurant as well as breakfast the next morning. We definitely got value for money with this deal. The setting of the hotel is lovely, about 15-20 minute walk into Waterford city itself, it's a nice walk. The room we were in was a bit dark and was very cold when we went in. I asked at Reception if we could get heating turned on, she mentioned that it was on a timer and would come on later. When we came back from our trip into town they had put a blow-heater into our room which was nice but would rather they hadn't had to.My travel companion found the decor to be dated and dark (a lot of dark purple and dark brown wood), I didn't have much of a problem with it so I think it comes down to personal taste. I did find I woke up during the night feeling the cold though (this visit was in March).the meal in the restaurant was lovely, the service was great.We were divided on the question of whether we would return - he said definitely not, I said maybe BUT only if it was on a deal package with the extras included and more so to visit Waterford rather because of the hotel.

Good but dated
We stayed for one night and our room was huge, if a little dated. It just needs a makeover really. Little things like dated decor and a plug that had a broken chain were minor, and so didn't affect our stay too much. We had breakfast at the hotel, which was great and had plenty of choice; in addition, the service was equally good, if not better.In summary, we got a good price for one night in a town we wanted to stay in. The fact that we wouldn't return, has more to do with the fact that Waterford itself had little to interest us, more than the hotel.
