Lovely hotel, big rooms, good shower, lovely view, great breakfast, fabulous location, walking distance to everything in the city centre. Stayed at 6 properties in Ireland and this was the best.
A haven of relaxation, this contemporary hotel and leisure centre is located on the outskirts of Waterford city centre and just 15 minutes away from Waterford Airport.

The hotel is perfect for a family as it is just outside the city centre but still so close to everything. The food, the room and the staff were all 10/10 and for a great rate. Swimming pool is included in the price and we were delighted to see the family changing room as the separate ladies/gents changing rooms doesn’t suit our young family. All the staff we met were helpful and friendly.

Waterford surprised us. The museums are great, we enjoyed especially the Bishop's palace. All the people we interacted with were very nice, kind and helpful. The Waterford people and city council have done a great job in this last 10 years. We will go again

I liked the fact that staff changed me to another room when I complained about the noise of the boiler. However the room we stayed in was freezing and this was February and it was cold.
The staff need to be a bit flexible about breakfast times. The receptionist would not accept that we would come down between 9.30 and 10am or even at 10 minutes to 10am. She said that we had to give her an exact time to book the table! We said 10.am, which she accepted but when we got to breakfast the tables were cleared and staff said that we could have a cooked breakfast only. We stood our ground given the night we had and we did get the breakfast we would have got had she allowed us to come down at 9.45am. We got a strong impression was that it was all about what was convenient for the staff as opposed to looking after the customer. Such a pity.

I moved to Dublin earlier this year.
I moved to Dublin earlier this year. I've been to most Irish cities at this point. I decided to get out of Dublin for the night and came to Waterford on fairly short notice.
Perhaps it was the (rare) nice weather, but Waterford is now one of my favorite cities in Ireland and was the perfect place *for me* to spend ~24 hours. Note that I usually race around from the moment of arrival to the moment of leaving, so others might enjoy all that Waterford has to offer - King of The Vikings VR experience, the Time Museum, the Irish Wake museum, some silly crystal place (albeit with an impressive company store,) Constitution Square, the Medieval Museum, Bishops Palace Museum, the Silver Museum, the river bank, building murals, etc. - for two or three days.
By the way, several of those museums can be seen for one ~15-euro pass, easily bought online the day of arrival (such as I did!) There might be even cheaper options; check before you go! I'm not a museum person, but even I enjoyed everything above. https://visitwaterford.com/vw_news/waterford-treasures-launches-freedom-of-waterford-tour/
I stayed at the Waterford Marina hotel which offered a great view of the river, albeit for 160 USD for my one night there. (Did I mention I decided to go with almost no notice? This was what was available!)

Drizzle rain and rain can happen, be prepared, it is Ireland. Lots of Touristy things to do if you like doing those things. Cost of regular clothing is inexpensive and easily obtained. The pints at The Exchange were 4.60 euro, a very good price. Tipping is not expected and does not show up on tap readers or bills. There is construction throughout Ireland however if the country side is your calling, it is not far away and is very, very enchanting.

Waterford City has a harbour front which is lined with parking and the highest rated hotels in the area (Granvilles, The Tower Hotel etc.) which all provide nice places to eat and drink. There are a number of museums in the area, one of the newest being the Wake Museum which is quirky as it's all about how the Irish celebrate death and features costumed staff so is well worth a visit.

Don’t be in a hurry to leave Waterford!
Don’t be in a hurry to leave Waterford! There are so many wonderful places and exhibits to enjoy, from the museum to Waterford glass, to the Viking trail…. and the Tower Hotel is the perfectly placed base for all these and more… and I mustn’t forget to mention the friendly local people too. Enjoy!
This place does not exist!
It is a rip off. Booking.com needs to remove it from their listing.
We found the pub below and they know nothing about rooms. The hotel across the street has been there for years and they don't know anything about it. The hotel clerk, who has worked there for over 20 years also found the listing and could not find the address because it doesn't exist.
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THIS RIP OFF. DO NOT BOOK THIS!!
The location is key with this property - we were able to walk to all the sites we were interested in seeing, including the Waterford Crystal Factory (which is actually an exceptional tour). We ate unbelievably great food in this city and visited wonderful pubs. The bar in this hotel is fabulous - we loved the bar tenders and discovered their signature drink . . . a whiskey sour. Don't pass it up!
We had a fabulous weekend in The Marina Hotel. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was spotless and we were near the lift for my mother which was ideal. We had dinner in the restaurant and bar food the second evening, we all enjoyed service was excellent we were a party of 7.
Friendly and helpful staff. Very welcoming. Nice quiet location, but near the city centre. Room facilities (tea/coffee making, good sized TV etc...) were hotel standard. Nice view from my room window. Good choice at breakfast (I wasn't expecting breakfast, didn't realise it was included).
I booked and committed to pay at the travelodge ,there was one non national on duty and was unable to take payment ,I left the property and booked the marina hotel . couldn't get a refund ,disgusted as I'm a frequent user of booking.com
Service was exceptional from Sharon and John Luke at reception. Great place to begin your cycle on the greenway. The hotel is 1km from the cycle trail in a quiet rural location away from the busy city centre. Highly recommended.
The hotel was lovely, staff were super friendly and helpful. Location was good, a little ways outside the city centre but close to the bus stop into town. The hotel breakfast was nice and carvery at the hotel was incredible.
Fantastic stay @ Granville hotel, very friendly & accommodating staff, great to have an option of gluten/ dairy free breakfast on menu for breakfast, lovely spacious room, and great location for exploring Waterford city
