A classic hotel, a bit pricey but it's ireland. Staff was friendly so nothing to complain about, except for a better method to get into the hotel later at night. The beds are kinda short and not too confortable.

After the bar in 2024 for a splendid Fish and Chips, the hotel for a short stay in 2025. The rooms are spacious and well maintained, we had views of the Suir and Mershant Quay but good sound insulation meant that we were not bothered by street noise. Ideally located near the bus station and bike rental, Waterford's bustling city center is just a stone's throw from the hotel. The staff is, as in many establishments in Ireland, very attentive.

Nice hotel right on the river, very old fashioned yet nice. It's bigger than it looks though, don't get lost.

The staff are helpful and on my last visit the live music was brilliant.Found the drink reasonably priced for a hotel of the quality that it is.Again on the night in question even though the bar was very busy the staff made time to assist me in my enquiry.

Back when I was working in the city center, 'The New Ship Restaurant' at Dooley’s Hotel became my go-to spot for lunch. It was the perfect place to escape the workday rush for a bit, grab a good meal, and just enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.
The staff there were always super friendly and welcoming, making sure everything ran smoothly. Even when it was busy, the service was quick and efficient, so I never had to stress about getting my food in time. Speaking of food, I really loved their soup of the day - always fresh, flavorful, and served with delicious bread. But honestly, everything I tried was tasty, well-prepared, and served fast enough to fit perfectly into my one-hour break.
Another small but important detail? The place was always spotless, including the restrooms, which were easy to find and well-maintained - something you don’t always think about until it’s a problem, but here, it never was.
Looking back, I really appreciated having a spot like this where I could take a break, enjoy some good food, and just unwind for a bit. If I ever find myself back in Waterford, I’ll definitely be stopping by again!
