While on our road trip through Ireland, we were lucky enough to stay at one of Ireland’s oldest and most iconic hotels, the Granville Hotel in Waterford. What an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, we were swept up by the charm, history, and grandeur of this beautiful property. Everything about our stay was seamless, but what truly stood out was the exceptional staff. Their warm welcome and genuine attentiveness made us feel incredibly valued. We had dinner at the Bianconi Restaurant, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip. The wait staff were personable, engaging, and wonderfully interactive – they turned a great meal into a truly memorable dining experience. Our room was clean, comfortable, and cosy, providing the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. Parking was easy and convenient, which made our stay even more stress-free. If you’re visiting Waterford, the Granville Hotel offers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort – we couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Our two night stay at the Granville Hotel was excellent. Unfortunately we arrived on the day that roadwork was being undertaken (not something the hotel were responsible for) out the front of the hotel (which we weren’t made aware of prior to arrival at the hotel to check in). As a result, on the second night we requested a room change to a quieter location in the hotel. The staff were really helpful finding us another room which was great. Breakfast was very good with a large selection and great service from the staff. A great hotel, pub and right in the centre of town. The only suggestion we’d have is to request a room with an air conditioner if the weather is warm.
