Cheap Hotels in County Waterford

For many, the main draw of County Waterford is its dramatic coastline, anchored by the Copper Coast European Geopark, a stunning stretch of cliffs and coves between Tramore and Dungarvan. The county’s heart is its namesake city, a historic Viking settlement where you can walk the medieval mile, see the exquisite craftsmanship of the 800-year-old Waterford Crystal, and enjoy a pint in the traditional pubs along the quays. It’s a region defined by a rich mix of maritime heritage, working farms, and quiet country roads perfect for a leisurely drive.

Waterford City offers the most convenient base, with a good selection of restaurants and all the major historical sites within walking distance. It suits couples and solo travellers looking for culture and easy exploration. For a more coastal or rural feel, consider staying in the seaside town of Tramore or around the charming harbour of Dungarvan. The county is well-connected, with its own airport offering UK routes, and it’s a straightforward drive from both Cork and Dublin.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find around 15 hotels listed across the county. The accommodation mix leans heavily towards comfortable, good-value guesthouses and mid-range hotels, particularly in the city, with a few modern budget options and some higher-end country house hotels set in the rolling green countryside.
