Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Property well located. 2nd time staying at Dooleys. First room wasn’t great..shower tray overflowed and room was quite small compared to 1st stay. They changed our room and got a great room. No complaints after this about the room.
Service and politeness of staff very good.
Only gripe with hotel was that we purchased bottled water to take to bed for two nights running only to find that the water BB date was 24th Aug 2024…and date of visit was nov 2024. It won’t make us ill as only two/three months old but makes you wonder what else could be out of date….?
Location is great - opposite bus station, 10 min walk to train station, Viking triangle.
Our favourite, regular place to stay in Waterford.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Nice comfortable room with stairs
Lots of stairs even with elevators, there was stairs up and down everywhere to get to the room and then in the room there were more stairs to lift luggage.
The staff were really helpful and friendly. The restaurant/pub food was very good and the breakfast was excellent. The room was comfortable and clean. A little old fashioned in decor. I enjoyed my stay.
Great hotel, probably one of the best in Waterford..... Parking is a bit confusing just... My advice ring before you land to arrange your parking situation.
I thought the hotel was beautiful and very interesting with all of the different staircases.
Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and the bar/restaurant food was very good.
