Top Waterford Hotel Reviews

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

8/10 Good
"Room was very spacious and comfortable beds and high quality linens. Conveniently located within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. Limited information provided on check in, particularly that there is a pool on site, and there are fees to rent towels and a swim cap which was reported to be required. The leisure center seemed more like a workout center or gym rather than a hotel pool."

Treacy's Hotel Waterford Spa & Leisure Centre

10/10 Excellent
"The room (143) was compact but everything I needed was there. The bed was super soft and comfortable with pillows the same. Tea and coffee making facilities were great. The room was beautifully clean and towels were soft and fluffy. At breakfast the staff were super attentive and nothing was too much trouble for them they worked efficiently diligently and with a great smile. I enjoyed three wonderful breakfasts and have to say I did over indulge because it was so nice. The pièce de résistance was the swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. I enjoyed using all of these each day before breakfast it was a great way to start the day. I will certainly recommend Treacys to my friends and look forward to staying again with you soon."
