I selected this hotel just outside Waterford based on various reviews - I couldn't have made a better choice. Location is lovey, overlooking the estuary and the city. Slightly out of the centre but only a few mins drive. Large airy modern rooms with tasteful decor. But the best thing about the Athenaeum is the service. Stan, his daughter, wife... More

Me and my partner stay nearby at a family holiday home near the Hook Lighthouse twice a year, but decided to leave our daughter with the family and spend a rare night away. We booked a deal whereby dinner, bed and breakfast was included, and we upgraded our room to the four poster bed room, and was not dissapointed. The... More

Me and my wife really enjoy the two night we stay there, it's a bit outside Waterford city but well worth it, the staff are really nice and helpfully, the food is nice, when booking a room make sure you ask for a room with a view and not the car park that I got. Not a hotel to bring... More

Enjoyed this restored Georgian House. Although close to Waterford downtown, it's in a secluded spot surrounded by trees and a view of the River Suir. The bedroom was pleasant.

My boyfriend and I took a weekend break to this lovely welcoming hotel. Drama from the onset as I had been bitten by an insect while at a wedding the previous day before we arrived which turned nasty. The ower who had checked us in was at hand with directions and information regarding medical help. He was very helpful and... More

We organised a 2 day business seminar for approx 30 people at the Athenaeum House Hotel this week and we were delighted with our choice of location. The rooms and food were lovely and Stan and the staff did everything they could to make us feel welcome. I would have no problem recommending this hotel to others. More
