“Central and cosy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Spend a night there recently. The hotel is neat and the staff, as in most of Ireland, friendly and helpful. Was a bit disappointed that the restaurant was closed the evening since it was out of season although the lift and lobby had adds for dinner etc.. Breakfast was good and worth the money though. The hotel is situated quite centrally and close to the major attractions such as the Waterford Crystal factory. Several nice pubs and restaurants within walking distance although the pub in the hotel is quite nice as well.
The only complaint I had was that although the rooms are marked smoke free, our room really smelled of old smoke.. not very pleasant.

Room Tip: View over the river is quite nice

I would like to thank you for taking the time to review the Waterford Marina Hotel after your visit to Ireland. It is great to read that you found the staff in Ireland friendly and helpful, a trait that we Irish are well known for. My apologies that the restaurant was closed during your visit, we should have made it clearer that the Special Dinner Offer was also available in our Waterfront Bar.
I am also very sorry that you had to endure the smell of smoke in your room, I will certainly address this issue and tighten current procedures to avoid it happening again.
We would be delighted to welcome you back to Waterford City on any future visits to Ireland.
Kind regards

“Loud and basic!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Very basic room, two thin pillows and thin duvet, old clunky tv that had very poor reception. Seemed to be people coming and going all night, loudly! No hot water in sink. Not particularly great value. Underground carpark was full when we arrived.

Thank you for taking the time to review the Waterford Marina Hotel, I am dissappointed to read that you did not enjoy your stay with us, simple things like the pillows, duvets,tv reception, hot water and parking should have been addressed by our duty manager, he would have worked quickly to resolve those issues for you. I'm sure you can appreciate how hard it is to make amends after a guest has checked out but I would like you to contact me personally either by email or phone, which ever is easier for you and we can discuss in detail your visit to us.
Kind regards

“room with a view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Just back from a very enjoyable weekend in this lovely hotel,we were in a room overlooking the river suir very peaceful and relaxing,only a short stroll to main shops this hotel has very friendly staff,the food in the bar is yum yum,the entertainment on Friday night was fantastic not so on Saturday,no charge parking on site was very convenient,I agree with another reviewer it could do with some refurbishment but I have no hesitation in recommending a stay here.

“overnight stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

parking convenient and free. staff efficient and friendly, rooms not sound proofed. Extractor fan in bathroom could not be turned off. We went down for breakfast towards the end of service and the coffee I was served wasnt fit for drinking.... It had been diluted and tasted horrible. It was replaced somewhat reluctantly. There is a framed testimonial from Trip Advisor at Reception giving the hotel a "very good" rating. But not in my opinion !! . Will I be returning ? I dont think so....

Room Tip: top floor at the back.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Tripadvisor about the Waterford Marina Hotel, firstly I would like to apologise for the shortcomings you experienced during your stay with us, the issue with the coffee concerns me due to the fact that all of our guests receive the same product, it is a well known Irish brand which has never given us any complaints in the many years we have been using it so I can only presume it was incorrectly brewed and I will address this immediately. Secondly if you would be so kind to let me know which room you stayed in I would appreciate it as I need to get the extractor fan issue resolved by maintenance.
We really do try our very best to ensure that all our guests are looked after to the best of our ability and I am glad to read that you found the free parking convenient and the staff efficient and friendly, however the fact you would not return is disappointing for us all
Should you decide to return to Waterford City in the future, I would appreciate it if you could contact me via email or phone I would be delighted to look after you and hopefully we can look after you with our usual high standard of care and attention.
Many thanks
Kind regards
