Breakfast was good value so we took this option when booking. Made a pack lunch ourselves at breakfast and the kitchen were kind enough to give us tin-foil to wrap it all up in. Functional and clean hotel at a fair, sensible and reasonable rate on a Bank Holiday weekend.

The setting is just absolutely beautiful. The hotel has a lovely charm. We were a little disappointed by the service level from the gold club, but the hotel staff made up for that. Especially the staff that served us at breakfast, greeting you by your name! Old world hospitality at it's best.

We only stayed 1 night. Liked the kindness of the staff, breakfast is abundant, quiet location.
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!
The location is key with this property - we were able to walk to all the sites we were interested in seeing, including the Waterford Crystal Factory (which is actually an exceptional tour). We ate unbelievably great food in this city and visited wonderful pubs. The bar in this hotel is fabulous - we loved the bar tenders and discovered their signature drink . . . a whiskey sour. Don't pass it up!
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❤
Fantastic stay @ Granville hotel, very friendly & accommodating staff, great to have an option of gluten/ dairy free breakfast on menu for breakfast, lovely spacious room, and great location for exploring Waterford city
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.
Beautiful old hotel. Enjoyed the bar lounge for dinner. Great service. Breakfast in the main dinner room was very good. It’s a short distance for Waterford but allowed us a chance to rest on vacation
Spacious four bed three bathroom house in grounds of exclusive golf hotel. Perfect secluded setting, but within easy drive into Waterford city centre. Great kitchen with full facilities in utility room.
The hotel staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. Live music at the bar, lovely ,breakfast in the morning,and a comfortable stay. Holly at the front desk is a gem.
Nice hotel close to city centre. Room was modern and well presented and relatively quiet at night considering proximity to a busy road and the hotel being fully booked.
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 was excellent. The staff at the Hotel reception were courteous and helpful. The chalet probably needed updating in some areas eg TV sound system.
