comments The hotel is really lovely. We enjoyed our stay very much and would happily stay there again. The staff are all very professional and the service in the restuarant as well as the rest of the hotel is above usual standard without being intrusive.

comments Wonderful food, wonderful service, large spacious room with a view of the river. Not really a "boutique" hotel, though, as all rooms were identical from what I could see.

comments This hotel is a little gemand our stay there met eveerything we had planned for the weekend. All the staff there were just brilliant. I don't usually mention individual names of staff members but I feel I have to pay particular compliment ti Annika (I hope I spelt the name right). Annika is everything I believe a good service provider should be, polite, couteous, knowledgable and yet good fun while carrying out her duties efficiently. Here is an example of the perfect barperson, waiteress. Try not to loose her.

comments we really enjoyeed our stay in the Athenaeum, staff were very attentive and the food in Zaks restaurant was very goodgood, also the breakfast rooms were nice and the only negative thing i would say is that it was a very cold day when we arrived and the fire lighting in the reception hall would have been very welcoming and also in the lounge, we will return as we liked the area and want to try some of the restaurants in Waterford city that were recommened to us

comments I have stayed in alot of hotels and the Athenaeum far surpassed all my expectations . The room was huge, with a cd player which was an extra nice touch. Upon arrival we were greeted by Marcus , who made us feel beyond welcome. The food was amazing , perfectly cooked and excellent portions , if only more hotels could aspire to be a fraction like the Athenaeum. The staff worked like a family together and their attention to detail was superb. I would recommend this hotel to anyone- and I have . This is a perfect location for a romantic weekend or just to relax and get away but at the same time being in easy access of Waterford City. We both had a fabulous time .

comments I found the hotel and staff to be very professional. My one comment is, according to the booking form and site, children were not allowed in the hotel. This was not the case upon arrival, I have children myself but we were looking for a quiet weekend, which we got as the kids were well behaved. The food and service were excellent and the rooms were well appointed and very clean

comments Our saty was very pleasant and the staff were excellent. however there was a mistake made at booking out where we were undercharged. We later received a letter pointing this out and informing me that a further charge had been made on my Laser Card. While I do not dispute the charge i was concerned that a further charge had been made on my laser card without my authorisation.

comments Leaves a lot to be desired in terms of its 4* status, more like a basic 3*. It feels like you are driving into someones back yard when driving into the hotel as the driveway is shared with several private houses.
