Waterloo House is two adjoining properties and there certainly seem to be two very different sets of opinions about a stay there. From this section it's clear that a lot of people really enjoy the great location, the communal areas of the hotel, the breakfasts and the rooms. Worryingly though, there are other guests who consistently complain of the same issues: tired rooms, no hot water by 8:30am, and a lack of interest from the staff, and even the owner.
I stay in Dublin a lot, and these days in the midst of the credit crisis you can get a lot for around EUR90 per night. That was what I paid for a big, old fashioned, dingey room at the waterloo House. Thankfully the bed was clean and comfortable, but I was one of the unlucky ones to experience a cold shower. This sink was cracked, the tiles were coming up of the bathroom floor. All in all the whole experience left me feeling very little of the room charges was finding its way back into any improvements. The only apology I got was a voucher for money off a future stay! My advice - there are some real gems for EUR 90 per night. This place is over-priced and out of touch.
Room Tip: Avoid room 22 and shower well before 8am if you like your shower hot
