I attended a function at Dooleys Hotel last Friday night. Being vegetarian my hopes are never high for a decent meal on these occasions and I expect to have little or no choice. I was so surprised to have a choice of Vegetarian Lasagne or Risotto on what was a set menu. I had the Risotto and it was absolutely... More

Very easy to find, just on the Quays with parking directly opposite so no flaffing around trying to find little sidestreets. Got a great deal when booking, and the front of house staff really made us feel very welcome with nothing being too much trouble. Room was spotless and bar/lounge very welcoming (with entertainment most weekends to kickstart your night... More

Having had a sleepless night on the overnight ferry from Pembroke the staff were very helpful and made a room available for us early so that we could get some rest, and tidy ourselves up, before exploring Waterford. The room was excellent, as were the public areas and the breakfast was really good. Overall we thought that Dooley's was excellent... More

We stayed here for four nights last week on a coach holiday last week. This has to be one of the best hotels in this part of Ireland. All the staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and a slight variation of the menu was no problem. ie ice cream instead of cream. We had a rear... More

Great family hotel, staff were really friendly and the service was excellent. Room was very comfortable and better than the 3 star rating, I was very impressed. The food was excellent and was one of the reasons for choosing Dooley's as I had read previous reviews. I wish to thank Renata, our waitress in the restaurant and also Rachael at... More

Very nice hotel with comfortable furnishings. Great pub-style bar and excellent breakfast. Only one night here while on a tour but really enjoyed our stay. Very nice, friendly people. Handy location in the city, walking distance to Waterford Crystal and on the river.
