Waterford hotel for work in WIT

jaykay74 · 12-01-2009 08:36PM #1

I'm due to work in WIT for a few weeks around Feb/March time. Just wondering if anyone can recommend a hotel.

In terms of what I'm looking for closeness to the college would be handy but will be driving, broadband (in room or lobby) would be nice. Looking to keep the costs down to something reasonable. even if i got a couple of names to check out it would be great help.

Thanks....

The ramada hotel is just up the road from the college.Only been there for grub and a wedding and thought it was grand.Some one else here could probably give a fair enough review of it if you were thinking of staying there.
Here's a link to their site which probably has plenty of details for ya.

Its about €50 a night, why just the rent a house for the same price a week....

I stayed in this hotel and found it to be very comfortable. It's out of town though so if you wanted to go for a pint without driving I think it would have to be in the hotel. I didn't eat there though so can't comment on food. The room was €65 but that was over 2 years ago.

have you tried the travel lodge.

AFAIK Ramada charges for Broadband and it is well out of town!

If you are driving then stay in town as it's only a five minute drive to WIT - at least you have the option of going out around the town, restaurants, pubs etc!

Try the Tower Hotel or the Granville Hotel.

If you are staying for a few weeks, call them and do a deal - I'm sure they would be more than accommodating in these difficult times!

Thanks for all the feedback.

If you don't have a car you'd be better off sticking with the Travel Lodge. The Ramada is on the outskirts of the city and not really accessible by foot.
