I love everything about this property. Andrew is an exceptional host and his team are very polite helpful amd friendly.
The Saratoga must have the best chef in the Waterford area. The food is succulent and fresh. Not to mention the breakfast, absolutely gorgeous.
The beach is only a few steps from the property.
If you are interested in catching the early morning sunrise or sunset this is the perfect location for it.
Been to the Saratoga many times. Always look forward to going back. 5 star 🌟
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!
I and my husband spent 3 nights at the Viking Hotel and I have to say it was a very pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service better than any other hotel we stayed in.
The location is a little bit far from the city centre, but you can easily arrive there by car or by bus. A big plus for us was that the room was quiet and we could catch on our sleep.
All the staff we met were lovely. Food was gorgeous, we had breakfast two mornings and lunch, everything we had was tasty and well presented. The hotel is in a great location, very close to the city centre and the start of the greenway. The room was modern, clean, quiet and a good size. A lovely hotel to stay in.
Menu wasn't great and lunch was same as dinner but you could not complain about quality of food nor the portions. Thought the staff were very helpful and super friendly. Breakfast was eat as much as you want and we'll worth the price. All in all marina hotel was great value and we would definitely go back.
My wife and I had a great stay at the Granville Hotel. The hotel itself is very comfortable and well maintained in a traditional style. I’m my experience the staff were very pleasant and helpful. I would be more than happy to stay again.
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
Spacious four bed three bathroom house in grounds of exclusive golf hotel. Perfect secluded setting, but within easy drive into Waterford city centre. Great kitchen with full facilities in utility room.
The Mews are run by the hotel, meaning you get access to all the hotel facilities, which is great. Spacious mews is definitely better than a family room with kids and having own kitchen was great.
We had a one night stay and found the hotel spotless and room spacious - every need catered to. Lovely staff, nice bar and menu, great location. Overall a wonderful experience.
The hotel staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. Live music at the bar, lovely ,breakfast in the morning,and a comfortable stay. Holly at the front desk is a gem.
A very lovely hotel in a very good location in the city centre. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nicely decorated and had everything we needed.
Good location just on the edge of the city centre, easy to walk to centre; view over river (but with distillery in front); secure private parking; use of hotel garden
