Website photos greatly flatter this place - expect something a LOT less swish. It is a dated, faded, lacklustre and basic hotel. We stayed in room 312 and were less than amused to find multiple stains on the bed cover, a large snot on the wall of the in-bath shower and a fair quantity of grime on the back of... More

My boyfriend and I took a weekend break to this lovely welcoming hotel. Drama from the onset as I had been bitten by an insect while at a wedding the previous day before we arrived which turned nasty.

We organised a 2 day business seminar for approx 30 people at the Athenaeum House Hotel this week and we were delighted with our choice of location. The rooms and food were lovely and Stan and the staff did everything they could to make us feel welcome. I would have no problem recommending this hotel to others. More

A little piece of heaven in the heart of Waterford City.The food was of a very high standard and made from locally sourced foods. Customer service was to an extremely high standard and were all extremely polite and helpful. The rooms were large, spacious and spotless with very large beds. The showers were also amazing!!

Light over mirror broken. Cobwebs on ceiling. It's as if the room had not been freshened up before my stay. Food and service was top... More

From my first phone call I had a good feeling about this place. Trevor ( who took the booking ) offered me a complimentary upgrade - subject to availability - when he heard it was our wedding anniversary. He was really friendly and helpful and on arrival, true to his word, he had allocated us a suite overlooking the estuary... More

Not a 4 star hotel in need of a major up grade, wallpaper leaving the wall. toilet not fixed to floor, complained but still the same after two nights stay. I have sent to the dump better bedroom furniture. 16in TV. This is not what I expect in a 4 Star Hotel More
