Brief stay, room lovely, staff friendly & helpful. Downside was that the bar was very cold, we were there for roughly an hour, hour and a half and it stayed cold, it was a Friday night and not too late in the night.

I have stayed in the Fitzwilton on numerous occasions as I have to work in Waterford quite a lot, but this time I was so disappointed that I will not be returning. For me, the most important thing is that the room is clean, and on this occasion it wasn't. The table was covered in dust and there were hairs... More

Dear reviewer, I am also disappointed to read your post. I have discussed this with house keeping who have advised that it would take a week for a room to accumulate the dust you express and we would never have a room go for that length of time firstly without being cleaned and also that it would have been refreshed/checked...

Good location and convenient parking. Rooms were good but could use a little updating. Hotel is within walking distance to many great pubs and the House of Waterford. A must stop is the Thomas Maher pub. Friendly staff and great history. Hotel bar was a great place to unwind after a long day.
