Very convenient B&B in Waterford city centre. I spotted it whilst driving over the bridge so didn't have to spend ages looking for it. Friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast. It is an old building but that adds character!

Don't go!

Ghastly. No window,just a grimy skylight. Sagging bed with grey linen. Grubby, torn carpets and smelly surrounds. Looked like an hourly rent establishment. we left once we'd viewed the room.

thoughtful owner and very good service

The owner, Mike, has mistaken that i have reserved 1 day but in fact it should be 2. He helped me to find another hotel, paid the difference and drove us to that hotel the next day. He is very helpful and friendly. What's more? Full breakfast is offered! Mike is so generous. Very good service, i appreciate it very much.

Nice staff but that's about all that was nice

The carpets were threadbare, the room was dusty, the door lock was fidgety, the ceilings had damp stains, the floorboards made a lot of noise, the water was cold, the phone in the room didn't work, the facilities were very basic and at least 20 years behind the times and there were other guests there who were unpleasant and possibly taking drugs

Shame on you Hotel.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hotel.com-shame on you! You did not carry thru our reservations,although we received confirmation & #. The hotel was full! We had to stay in a Hostel/Hotel, 5 blocks down the road, thanks to the manager of Ancherage house knowledge & friend. We arrived @ 10pn @ nite & I was not happy with you! The Ancherage House has a beautiful view & the manager was professional, delightful. Thanks to Hotel.com, that is ALL I can tell you about the hotel.

Budget hotel, close to city centre.

The hotel was perfectly adequate for our short stay in Waterford. Our room was reasonably comfortable and the breakfasts provided were fine. As we were at the front of the building, there was some traffic noise, but it didn't really disturb us. People moving around or talking loudly in adjoining rooms, however, sounded,at times, as if they were in with us. Parking is in a public car park, across the road, at 4 euros per 24 hours.

Good basic original style accommodation

Friendly welcome. Just a walk over the bridge from the station. Close to several nearby options to eat out. Shower was nice and hot. Good basic older style accommodation in original building with stairs to upper levels.

Lost reservations.

The hotel lost our reservation and had no rooms available for the 1st night, but said we could come back for the 2nd night. The hotel manager tried to help us find another room, but they were even worse. We moved to another hotel for for twice the money, which turned out to be better. Cannot rate the rooms as we never saw them, only the lobby. The hotel looked very small although.

Excellent!

Comfortable and clean hotel with exceptional staff! The owner, Michael, went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable. I stayed for one night with my daughter while waiting for the keys for my own apartment. I would happily stay there again and again and recommend it highly. Thank you Michael :-)

Good location, busy spot

We had just one night at The Anchorage recently. It's an old place, bit run down but everything was clean and the owner and staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. It's in a handy spot, right on the waterfront just across from the bus stop (intercity) and across the bridge from the train stn. Just remember to pack the earplugs and you won't be disappointed.
