“Couples night away”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012

I am sorry to say how disappointed I was with my stay in the Fitzwilton as I had heard only good things before arriving. Our room was very small and cramped and not fitting of a four star hotel.

Like most who are staying in a hotel, I was really looking forward to a relaxing bath but was disappointed to find that at half six on a Saturday night there was barely enough water for a tepid shower let alone a bath. The girl on reception advised me to wait awhile and the manager would reset the boiler. The water temperature never increased.

The television reception in our room was barely watchable, not a big deal really but worth mentioning.

The biggest problem for me though was the fact that our window did not open, as I stated earlier our room was very small and the fact that the window did not open made the heat in the room uncomfortably warm and unfortunately for me made it impossible to sleep.

On a positive note the location is ideal and all the Staff members from the bar to reception were very helpful and polite

Room Tip: Try not get room 317.

“Basic”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Stayed here for two nights while away on a Stag party. Catered for the group well. The room was okay, it was very good value. The hotel had a bit of a property bubble, neon gleam.

The bar was okay and we popped in and out intermittently. I can't comment on the restaurant as I didn't have an appetite while we were there.

“Great 4 star option”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

I believe this is the only 4 star option in Waterford but it isn't lazy because of that. Good location close to the waterfront with loads of nice restaurants. I also ate in the bar and the food was good, staff friendly and good service thought the seats are pretty cronic in the comfort stakes. Rooms were fine, breakfast good. All in all a good experience.

“Good Hotel for a city break, Both times!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

I have stayed in the Fitzwilton twice with both my partner and my girlies and both times were really enjoyable! The location is perfect if you want to be central to things but not so central that your awake all night with noise! The hotel itself is really clean and modern, LOVE the bar and the bar staff are really friendly.
When I stayed with my partner we had just bought our house and a family member had Champers in the room to great us, the hotel later provided another complimentary bottle as a treat which was lovely.
I ate in the restaurant and found the food to be good quality and menus had a good selection.
When I stayed with the girls I was unfortunate enough to loose my camera which had some photos of sentimental value and when I advised the hotel there was a thorough search for it and a follow up call a week after my stay to say it still hadn't been found,Disappointed about the camera but really satisfied with the above and beyond feel I received from the hotel staff.
I love Waterford and will return and when I do the Fitzwilton will be the only hotel I will stay in.
