A few years ago I stayed with my husband in another Waterford hotel and was not impressed at all. So when business required a two night stay over I was quite anxious but need not have been at all.
My clients booked myself and a colleague into the Granville for two nights and the experience was excellent.
A beautiful hotel whose management has had the good sense to enhance the old world charm with sympathetic decor. Modern but in touch with the buildings history- all good.
The bed was heaven, room clean and well equipped.
WiFi worked with no issues- such a great find as so many 'business' hotels do not either provide free access or else the signal is very weak.
My one moan, and this goes for so many other hotels, is the blooming shower curtains. They blow in on top of you and cling hideously on you as you wash. It is a slimy feel, although at least here in the Granville they were spotlessly clean. Why can hotels not simply put in a good sized shower booth??
Ate there and food was absolutely fine- no big bells and whistles but edible, tasty and served by a pleasant team. Big positive with breakfast which was cooked to order- so much better than big tureens of semi-solid, cross contaminated plop in so many Irish hotel. I enjoyed grilled fish both mornings which was heaven.
So well done to all at the Granville. I now know where to stay when down that way again.

A really tasty meal in the bar. We picked a prominent seat to sit in as the last time we sat near the fire around the corner and service wasn't great. Service was much improved today though as we sat directly opposite the bar. Food was tasty and good value. It worked out very well as a pre-theatre snack.

Stayed there for a couple of nights just before New Year. Despite the fact that it was packed with hotel and wedding guests, the service was great (and friendly). Comfortable room, nice bar and central location (although good luck working out the cheapest of the car parks across the road!).

The Granville Hotel is situated on Meaghes Quay and is easily accessible from the N25. It is about 15 minutes from Waterford airport and 1 1/2 hours from Cork airport. A traditional building which has been established for many years. It is in close proximity to locals shops, pubs and other restaurants including the Waterford Crystal workshop.

Reception is manned 24 hours and the staff are very welcoming, professional and courteous. Check in is after 2pm and check out before noon. Rooms are accessed via a single lift or stairs. The main bar area and restaurant are adjacent to the lobby. The bar serves a wide selection of hot / cold food and drinks at reasonable prices. The service is excellent and the staff can't do enough for you.

The restaurant offers a high standard of cuisine and wide choice of wines. Again the service is excellent. Breakfast is also served in the restaurant as a self service buffet style and table service for hot food.

Rooms are tastefully decorated in a traditional style in keeping with the hotel. They are well maintained. Access is via a digital key card which is also used to control the lights in the room. Room facilities include: coffee / tea making tray, trouser press, free WIFI, satelite TV, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. A same day laundry service and use of iron / ironing board is available.

I have stayed at this hotel many times on business and it is always a pleasure to return.
If you are visiting Waterford and want excellent service with a warm Irish welcome, I would recommend this hotel.
