Very beautiful castle hotel and property. It's on its own island and a free ferry brings you across the small river. Lovely. Food is fantastic. Extensive Breakfast is included (except my cappuccino). Staff is great. Romantic. There are large, modern "cottages" (like townhouses) for families or bigger groups.

Amazing time here! I highly suggest a reservation for dinner in the Munster room. Big shout out to Dylan and David who were inside bar area. They were so kind and helpful. The grounds are absolutely amazing. Definitely a 10/10 experience.

I loved the atmosphere of the experience, and it starts with the kindness, from the reception, to Mike who helped me with luggage, to fillipo the bartender! The whole time was enjoyable!

It is a lovely place to stay. Being on the island takes you away from the hustle and bustle. We took this as a “pause” from our tour of Ireland. David in the bar and Antonio in the restaurant go out of there way to make sure you enjoy your stay. Feel like an Earl!

The castle and the ground are magnificent and the rooms beautiful. I have traveled extensively over the last 40 years, and then that time I have had no finer meal, then was served at the castle for dinner. Clearly the work of one of the finest chefs imaginable.

Wonderful experience But dinner took an hour to be served !! If it were not located on an island I would suggest you eat out and only stay at castle

all staff working were very friendly, couretous and accomodating. I enjoyed the amenities, atmosphere and the food really impressive. thanks for a lovely night in your castle. what I did not like was booking through a third party to learn if needed of their cancellation policy being 42 days in advance!

The castle was amazing. We stayed in the beautiful room it was very spacious & comfortable. All the staff eas very friendly. We eat at restaurant in the castle waiter was excellent & food was amazing. We played croquet on the front lawn & walked the grounds. Was a great pkace. Would return on future trip to Waterford. Did tour at House of Waterford it is a must do if you are in Waterford. Great stay.

We've been traveling in Italy for thirteen days and now in Ireland for another nine days. The Waterford Castle has been by far the best hotel we've stayed in regardless of price (Rome was more expensive). The dinner was perhaps the best meal, all things considered we've ever had and I've traveled all over the world. If you want a unique experience where you will be spoiled beyond your expectations, book the Waterford Castle.

We stayed at the Waterford castle for 4 nights. Loved every minute of it. Gorgeous views and excellent service. Had breakfast daily in the gorgeous sun room where the meals were especially catered for us. The views from the castle were amazing, beautiful sunsets. Our favorite room was the Rose Suite. Spacious and such a comfortable bed. Staff would go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and to meet your needs. I would recommend staying at Waterford Castle.

It was very authentic like which was what our party was wanting, room on second floor was warm and no air conditioning so beware. They do have a fan. Very cool old building
1-night trip

8/10

Our room had an old style claw tub and the shower was an old style ring with a shower curtain that wrapped around you. Although very nostalgic, not practical. For such a luxurious hotel, in this day and age, the wifi was terrible. Beautiful hotel, beautiful grounds, and the staff are exceptional, but way too expensive for what you get.
