A great hotel albeit dated - it has an old world charm about it, from the narrow passages leading to the rooms, to the paintings on the walls and wallpaper used. If old world charm impresses you, look no further especially since this hotel is on the main road. But since this review should be objective, here goes.
The washbasin faucets supply either hot or cold water - since there are two separate faucets and not one mixer. Consequently, there is no way you can mix the water to suit your taste, which in today’s day and age, is not acceptable.
The rooms on the front of the hotel tend to be noisy since the traffic noise, however less that may be, is clearly audible inside. Seriously the management should contemplate installing double glazed windows.
The partitions between the rooms are not very insulating to loud noise, so if you have, like we faced, a neighbour who snores loudly or talked/argued loudly, it is clearly audible. You can though ignore creaking floor boards from the rooms above since old buildings will inevitably have this problem.
The food on the other hand is very well prepared and service is excellent. If you are lucky to have an Irish coffee presentation by Jackie, it should be the highlight of your stay there.
All in all, a good hotel.

My fiance and I stayed here in late November as we made our way through Ireland. First, Waterford is a beautiful little city. While we only stayed here one night, the Granville exceeded expectations. We both agreed that everything about this place was done at the highest standards. The rooms were clean and tidy, our bed was comfortable, the view was lovely, and the breakfast the next morning was delicious. I will say, we were a little confused by the procedure of ordering breakfast, but that is a non-issue. The woman at the front desk gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne as we'd just gotten engaged. The high quality of the Granville helped make our trip special. If you stay here it's likely that you wont regret it.
