After driving around the Irish country side for the day my boyfriend and I ended up in Waterford. We had not booked a room for the night and ended up finding one available at the Days Hotel Waterford. The lobby looked nice and there was a pleasant pub attached. When we got to our room the happiness with our choice was long gone. It looked like something that was right out of a horror movie, the room that everyone gets killed in. It was not very clean and the door that was on our side to the connecting room was unlocked. There was also a ceiling access pannel - our room was on the first floor. We decided to stick it out since it was only for one night. About an hour later some type of nightclub opened up below our room. The music was so loud and you could feel the base. We called the front dest to change rooms and they were very nice about it. Even though the next room we got was much better than that first I would NEVER stay there again.

We stayed at this hotel last weekend, The hotel has a very relaxed athmosphere and very helpful staff. The amenities like the tea/coffeee facilities, flat screen T.V., free wireless broadband were excellant. The music in the bar was great and got a real old singsong going. Food was good and the bar menu was great good value for money. The hotel was only about 5 mins from the city center.

Overall a delightful experience!!!!!!
Would definitely stay there again

We travelled to a wedding in Waterford in September and needed somewhere to stay last minute. This hotel was recommended as being quite reasonable. The advertised price was 90 euros but when we arrived we were told there was only one room left and it was 150 euros. We did not mind paying extra but expected a nice room for this. As we were in a rush to the wedding we did not view the room until we returned at 1.30am. Outside the door was a non smoking sign but on entering our room the smell of cigarettes was very strong. There was an empty cigerette box and butt on the floor. The nose from the busy road outside was also very loud and we could hear our neighbours television through the wall at 2am. As we had been told this was the last room we did not complain until the following morning. The staff were extremely rude and abrupt and did not offer any compensation. This was a most unpleasant experience and I would definately not recommend this hotel.

The text below was the email I sent to Days hotel. I did not get any satisfaction at all from them.

let me start by saying that our holidays are spent around Ireland staying in various hotels in various counties.

We stayed in Days Hotel Waterford last weekend - arriving Sat 2nd June departing Mon 4th. This was the first time we stayed in any Days Hotels and I must say I was very very disappointed. We have stayed in many hotels around Ireland but this hotel really does not live up to what it advertises on the Internet.

Firstly, the phrase "you couldn't swing a cat" comes to mind when I saw the room. It was tiny. There was 2 single beds (the room was booked as a double). The staff changed the bedding to make it a double bed. There was no table, one chair which is very annoying considering we always have the breakfast in the room. The pictures on the Internet have all rooms advertised as having a table and chairs.

The staff in general were courteous.

On our last day, we ordered breakfast at 10 (which arrived at 9:45) just as I sat on the bed to eat my breakfast (nowhere else to sit!) there was a knock on the door (it was 9:55). I asked if I could help, it was the girls wanting the clean the room. They asked "when are you vacating the room". I really couldn't believe it, we just got the breakfast and they were asking us when we were leaving. by in mind checkout time is 12:00

I have photos of the room we stayed (room 253).

I really would like an explanation as to why the rooms advertised on the Internet are different to the actual rooms in the hotel.

I await hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
