Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Fitzwilton Hotel is a centrally located option in Waterford, making attractions easily accessible, including a short walk to the Quays and the train station. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms and modern bathrooms, some featuring a great walk-in shower. The buffet-style breakfast offers a decent selection, and while some rooms have less appealing views of back alleys, others boast unique city vistas, sometimes overlooking a distinctive chapel that evokes the architecture of Italy.
