Enjoyed my stay, very friendly staff.
Hotel was lovely food was amazing with both our evening meals and breakie and parking straight across the road. Unfortunately the shower wasnt working when we went to use it
What a great holiday in Waterford. Dooley's is in a great location near all the shopping, restaurants and cinema. There is no pool but the sea is near with great beaches. Parking was easily accessed directly across the street. The room was spacious with a King size bed and single. Walk-in shower was great. We ate in the restaurant most evenings and the food and service was good. Breakfast was nice too. Omniplex cinema had all electric recliners. I believe the Indian restaurant next door is supposed to be really good. There is a Centra very near too useful for 99s and drinking water. Staff in hotel are very pleasant. Would stay again.
Lovely stay at this hotel for night away with my partner our little break away from the kids. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was lovely couldnt find fault with it the only issue we experienced was the lady in the next room on a phonecall at 3am shouting and laughing down the phone. Other than that enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the city life of Waterford
Great location, friendly efficient staff, clean and safe environment, jolly manager on duty, we had a blast and will defo be back again

Dooleys is a lovely hotel Staff were very friendly and accomadating especially in the restaurant they were so pleasant and cheerful really they couldn't do enough for us... Rooms were clean and spacious with crisp white towels in the bathroom I will definitely be returning to dooleys in the near future
Staff were excellent.clean and spotless
Really nice Hotel, friendly staff. Front first floor room, view of the river. Very little or no noise of the road. Late for breakfast one morning, no issues from staff. The only issue I have is there no car parking provided by the Hotel. You have to use the Port car park across the street no option, which isn't cheep, €8 per day.
Very friendly staff. Nice spacious room. Hotel took a lot of covid19 precautions and we felt safe. Meal options could have been a bit better but overall we were happy. Greay location for greenway cycle. Would return to this hotel.
We booked this hotel on Lidl Breaks for less than half the price as advertised on booking.com. the family room was spacious, beds were comfortable, even the pullout bed was too notch. Staff were so friendly and polite, they were quite busy during our stay but they had time for anything we asked. Room, bathroom, halls, bar area that we visited was spotless clean, I have not seen a 5 * hotel as clean as this one. Food was too notch, I recommend the Cajun chicken burger and sweet potato fries. The only thing I could find improvement on is the heat in the room. It was roasting and the window only opened a little bit for safety reasons. We ended up buying a small fan and the kids slept brilliantly that night. Location is perfect, close to everything, highly recommend, and I will most definitely be back in Dooley's again.
Really enjoyed stay...Food was gorgeous and restaurant staff were so friendly..Every thing very much in place for covid.
Amazing staff and food was gorgeous
had a great night away food was lovely staff very friendly would stay again
Delighted with our choice, staff very friendly , rooms fantastic we got such great value. Hotel central to everything. Very happy with all would return without hesitation.
had a lovely stay at dooley's hotel last week-end. beautiful big room. dinner in restaurant was the best meal we had for ages. excellent breakfast. friendly staff. thoroughly enjoyed the stay. would recommend to others.
spent two nights in February at the hotel the room was lovely and warm and spacious staff were friendly breakfast was very good we hah a meal there on our first night there was a lack of atmosphere in the restaurant the meal was just OK.
180 km drive down to hotel, when we arrived at 5 pm, we discovered that they did not have a room for us, we had a small child with us, we were tired after our journey. They eventually sent us to Treacys hotel up the street, the receptionist at Dooley's wasn't too bothered. We had booked Dooley`s because we thought it would be a better class hotel- Treacy`s would not be in the same class. In short - a total disaster. We should be refunded in full.
Lovely warm inviting hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful which gives that extra touch that you get from a family run hotel that you can't get elsewhere. The food was absolutely delicious and buffet breakfast had everything and more.
We booked this hotel through today fm breaks for €103 bed and breakfast with two course dinner. We arrived about 6.30 it was horrible weather. The warmth the minute we walked in the door was so lovely . The receptionist was very nice and efficient gave us our room keys immediately . The halls and corridors were freshly painted and beautifully clean and warm. The room bathroom was very warm . We went down for dinner without dinner voucher which entitled us to two courses . The waiter said we could have 3 courses from the early bird menu. We are both vegetarian and we really enjoyed what we got. The barman was very friendly and all I can say is we will definitely be back here the breakfast was equally good . Tim and bridget Thompson co Clare
Lovely Hotel in a very central location. Our room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Very nice food served in the bar and for breakfast. Lovely music in the bar the Sunday night of the bank holiday week-end. Parking across the road at a reduced rate of €3 per day! Would highly recommend this hotel and would love to return again soon.
Very satisfied with our stay in Dooleys. Very clean and comfortable ,centrally located and very helpful staff.. Excellent breakfast. Eugene, Dublin.
fantastic hotel, great service and all round great experience :) Lidl Breaks are the way to go! I always use Lidl Breaks as we always get great value for money! Highly recommend both hotel & Lidl Breaks when booking your night away! :)
myself and 6 friends stayed in Dooley's on Saturday 26/04 it was just an overnight stay. The hotel is in a very central location, the staff were friendly and very helpful the hotel was very busy but still all the staff had time to see to any request that was made. We had food in the Bar which was very tasty and served quickly and the waitresses were pleasant and friendly and took care of our every need. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable and the beds were very comfy. All in all we had a very nice time and would certainly return to the hotel I would give the hotel a very good 3 star and that was the general consensus of all our group
It was a nice hotel, but the wifi didnt work and we were on the 3rd floorans there was no safety catches on the windows they opened straight out, as I had a 4 year old child with me I was nervous about that, over all it was nice and the staff were helpful & friendly
My husband and myself stayed here for Saturday and Sunday night of the October bank holiday, the room was excellent and very clean but the heat was not turned on until very late in the evening and only for a short period so we were cold most of the time we were in the room. We did enjoy the breakfast and the staff were so efficent and friendly also the welcome at reception was second to none. We bought dinner there on the Saturday night and it was most disappointing to say the least, the potatoes were reheated and were tastless and inedible. We would stay there again but steer clear of dinner.
myself and my husband stayed in dooleys hotel, waterford from thurs 19th september until mon 23rd september. we booked our break through lidlbreaks, and had a lovely stay. the hotel is lovely, and so are the staff. i really recommend this hotel, as it is very central for shopping, there is parking across the street, and the bus terminal is also across from the hotel. eilish bagnall
stayed 2 nights fantastic location excellent staff room was really lovely throughly enjoyed our stay
Very pleasant stay at Dooleys. Comfortable hotel with good food. Good sized family room, nicely decorated and furnished. Pity it doesn't have BBC or ITV tv channels. Recommended as a good 3 star hotel, in a good location.
Stayed here over the May bank holiday. We all found the staff to be very friendly, we were greeted with smiles on arrival. We booked a family room which I found very agreeable. The The New Ship Restaurant was a bonus to the hotel, the food was gorgeous and there was a great choice from the children's menu. I would recommend anybody to stay in this hotel
We really enjoyed our stay at this friendly hotel. From the moment we checked in, ALL staff we met had a smile. Our room was lovely and clean, restaurant staff were so efficient. Dinner and breakfasts were superb, with the result we only ate at Dooleys for the meals which were not included in the package. Will definitely return FIVE STAR
We would definitely give Dooleys Hotel 5 star rating as everything was just perfect. The staff were lovely. Great food. Room was spacious and there was entertainment in the bar on the night we stayed. We will definitely go back there.
