Staying in a castle?! On its own island?! In Ireland?! Could there be anything better? Beautiful property with lovely, accommodating staff. It was perfect. We had a wonderful stay!

The castle was amazing. The service at the restaurant was poor. Out of several bottle of wine we ordered and slow service. Food was ok. The pigeon was the best part. We only ordered one desert, but we were charged for 2 three-course meals. We were undercharged due to a server hitting the wrong button on the machine, but then we were hounded later that night and the next day to pay the $70 difference. We left a £30 cash tip and the server pocketed that too. Extremely rude and unprofessional. Not how you treat guests when mistakes are made by the staff.

all staff working were very friendly, couretous and accomodating. I enjoyed the amenities, atmosphere and the food really impressive. thanks for a lovely night in your castle. what I did not like was booking through a third party to learn if needed of their cancellation policy being 42 days in advance!

It is a lovely place to stay. Being on the island takes you away from the hustle and bustle. We took this as a “pause” from our tour of Ireland. David in the bar and Antonio in the restaurant go out of there way to make sure you enjoy your stay. Feel like an Earl!

We stayed at the Waterford castle for 4 nights. Loved every minute of it. Gorgeous views and excellent service. Had breakfast daily in the gorgeous sun room where the meals were especially catered for us. The views from the castle were amazing, beautiful sunsets. Our favorite room was the Rose Suite. Spacious and such a comfortable bed. Staff would go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and to meet your needs. I would recommend staying at Waterford Castle.

The castle and the ground are magnificent and the rooms beautiful. I have traveled extensively over the last 40 years, and then that time I have had no finer meal, then was served at the castle for dinner. Clearly the work of one of the finest chefs imaginable.

We've been traveling in Italy for thirteen days and now in Ireland for another nine days. The Waterford Castle has been by far the best hotel we've stayed in regardless of price (Rome was more expensive). The dinner was perhaps the best meal, all things considered we've ever had and I've traveled all over the world. If you want a unique experience where you will be spoiled beyond your expectations, book the Waterford Castle.

Our room had an old style claw tub and the shower was an old style ring with a shower curtain that wrapped around you. Although very nostalgic, not practical. For such a luxurious hotel, in this day and age, the wifi was terrible. Beautiful hotel, beautiful grounds, and the staff are exceptional, but way too expensive for what you get.

This is a truly beautiful hotel in a stunning location. It’s a castle so don’t expect all the latest mod-cons. The Restaurant is very good and the food is really top notch. Be warned there is only a ferry to access the hotel, no bridge so don’t arrive too late

The hotel and grounds lovely and nothing to complain about cleanliness or physical condition of facilities. Our 5th hotel on Ireland tour and this one all the service seemed "transactional". Checkin and out confusing, last dinner served 7:30, sommelier suggestion for beef course was "any of our red wines ". The island location accessible by ferry only is both romantic and isolating.

Fantastic location on a private island on the river suir. Requires a short free car ferry ride which takes 5 mins. Rooms are old world what you'd expect from a castle. Interior very ornate. There's a fabulous fireplace in the reception. I could imagine sitting there on a cold winters night with a couple of hot whiskeys! Staff are very friendly. Afternoon tea and dinner in the dining room were amazing. Overall a great stay and a great old world experience. Will definitely visit again.

Gorgeous secluded castle. Very classy. The food was amazing. The staff was amazing. The bathrooms are classic Victorian old bathrooms but fit the style of the hotel. Was a great way to end my vacation in Ireland. Was such a beautiful place and can not wait to go back. I highly recommend this property as a place to stay while visiting Southern Ireland

Such a beautiful place to stay the night. It’s an actual castle with beautiful grounds, a golf course and a very scenic walk. All the modern conveniences including good WiFi and a big bathroom. You take a ferry across onto the island and to the castle. Dinner was very good. We didn’t have breakfast because we couldn’t get anyone to wait on us so we left to have breakfast in town. That was the only issue with our stay.

I can't really rate the castle because some rich shit rented out the whole place causing us to be relocated to a townhouse by the country club. Now to be honest they had warned me that this would be the case after I made our reservation, however it was too late for me to change our plans...and the townhouse was nice. What was really disappointing though was that the shit also had exclusive use of the castle's restaurant and since the clubhouse only does breakfast on weekends, we were left without a means of breakfast during our stay... A situation we had not been warned about, otherwise we could have purchased food in advance.
