“Superb hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Having come from a hotel from hell in Tramore we booked into Dooleys.. The girl on the front reception was lovely. Couldn't have been more helpful and polite.( If hotel management read this you have a gem there). The hotel itself was lovely. We have stayed in many 4 star hotels that dont rate to this one. Great bar staff and service. Most of all we had breakfast in bed Sunday morning and may i say it one the best room service breakfasts we received ever.. Well done to all the staff...

“Reliable and perfect location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013 via mobile

Stayed here recently on a girls weekend away. The staff were pleasant and the room was comfortable. The food in the hotel was fantastic! Breakfast was one of the best iv had and we had dinner in the bar which was also good. Location is perfect for shopping or a night out

“Like a good wine”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

This hotel is like a Good Wine it improves with age. I have dined here for nearly forty years of the family run hotels seventy years in business. You will be pleased with what you will find at Dooleys. Quality fare is served all day from its famous and delicious Breakfast to its evening dinner and musical entertainment. Being family run is reflected in its staff. Make a note to visit Dooleys a household name in Waterford.

“Dooley's is always reliable...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

Have stayed here too many times to count, always reliable, very nice clean rooms, great food, friendly staff and a great location. Can be very reasonable, we got a room online at the last minute for a Saturday night for €59!

Room Tip: Car park directly across from hotel will be discounted at reception
