“This hotel, crowned Boutique Hotel of the Year Munster 2024, stands out for its personalized service and locally inspired decor, setting it apart in Waterford's hospitality scene. The dining experience, particularly at Chez K's, elevates the stay, and it's clearly a draw for those seeking both comfort and culinary delight. Its central location places guests steps away from cultural landmarks.”

street noise air conditioning

the staff were helpful and the breakfast menu had a good selection.

The noise from the street at night was very loud. i could barely hear the tv unless the volume was very high. the hotel really needs to install air conditioning, particularly in rooms facing the street. A fan only blows air and does not actually cool the room.

The bar food tasted quite nice. However the room service breakfast had some issues. It lacked salt and sugar and also spoons. Coffee cups were not delivered with the coffee itself and glasses were absent when water was provided.

decent, but some issues

broken television stained towel

the bedroom was nicely decorated and the bed felt very comfortable.

I was disappointed with a few aspects. firstly, the television wasn't working properly. I had to call a technician to replace a cable. then, i discovered there was no hot water in the evening before going out (i was really annoyed). also, one of the bath towels had a black stain on it.
