Parking across the road for 2.50 each time you want leave the carpark. Only little gripe was the lift was small and slow, especially when you're on the 4th floor. All... More

Having had a sleepless night on the overnight ferry from Pembroke the staff were very helpful and made a room available for us early so that we could get some rest, and tidy ourselves up, before exploring Waterford. The room was excellent, as were the public areas and the breakfast was really good. Overall we thought that Dooley's was excellent... More

We stayed here for four nights last week on a coach holiday last week. This has to be one of the best hotels in this part of Ireland. All the staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and a slight variation of the menu was no problem. ie ice cream instead of cream. We had a rear... More

Great family hotel, staff were really friendly and the service was excellent. Room was very comfortable and better than the 3 star rating, I was very impressed. The food was excellent and was one of the reasons for choosing Dooley's as I had read previous reviews. I wish to thank Renata, our waitress in the restaurant and also Rachael at... More

Very nice hotel with comfortable furnishings. Great pub-style bar and excellent breakfast. Only one night here while on a tour but really enjoyed our stay. Very nice, friendly people. Handy location in the city, walking distance to Waterford Crystal and on the river. More

This hotel is in a great location in Waterford, very central and parking across the road. The hotel room was comfortable however the hotel itself was a little dated. I stayed for two nights with my partner in this hotel. Staff on reception were not overly welcoming when we arrived. After the first night of staying there, I had a... More
