This place is actually a dump and is not that great a place to stay. We were only here for a night and I'm thankful for that. The rooms are small and drab. The hotel charges for WIFI. This cheap place tries to squeeze every penny out of its guests. Even guests who paid for WIFI had trouble logging on.... More

We travelled to Waterford expecting to find a nice little B & B somewhere along the way, but they evaded us. Once we arrived at Waterford, we drove around for an hour or so searching for accommodation ad didn't come up with anything close to suitable. We were referred onto Dooley's by a guesthouse that did not have availability and... More

This may have been my favorite place I stayed during my trip to Ireland. Everything was top notch for a very reasonable price. The location was unbeatable. There was a car park directly across the street. It is usually 5 euros but the hotel gives you a discount at 3 euros per stay in the lot. ( they charge on... More

2nd time we have stayed here and we found it still lived up to our original stay. Ideal position for Waterford town centre being on the waterfront, we had a room overlooking the main road and river out the front, although a very busy road we didn't find it overly noisy. staff were very helpful.

Nice hotel.. The service checking in and out was easy no hassles .. The rooms were clean, the area very nice. The only thing that I didn't care for was the service for dinner. It could have been a little better. I would recommend your hotel.

Hotel is well located but dated. This is definitely an old world hotel. Great location right on the river. Clean rooms. Staff friendly but not exactly proactive. Online Internet provider instructions incorrect when trying to login, amenities book stated a 4 Euro charge, also incorrect as its free. Instructions missing on phone and no mention in hotel amenities book on... More

I received an invitation from my retired Financial Adviser friend to Dine recently. He choose Dooleys Hotel Restaurant because as he said he had listened to my forty years of praise on Dooleys food. My first meal in 1973 was followed by hundreds of meals over the forty years and last week I again so very much enjoyed their delicious... More

This is a very friendly hotel, staff are lovely. Wednesday night has a traditional music session with some ballads and is very entertaining and not intrusive on your conversation. Food served in bar is excellent and reasonable; nice pint of Guinness also.

I attended the FAB Women Business Awards on the 17th May and had the delightful company of Tracey (Dooly's Hotel) and Sue, great conversation, great setting, the room looked so elegant and compliments to the chef.
