Beautiful breakfast and was so close to town. The receptionist was friendly and very helpful! There was a long hair on the pillowcase and one on the toilet seat. The place seemed clean but the hair was a bit off putting.
What a wonderful asset Lucy is. I couldn't have had a warmer welcome, although I am not sure she believed me when I said I wouldn't need the late access key fob. A wealth of information given, and help offered. Thank you
Room was small but big enough. Room and bathroom all seemed nice and new. Plenty of parking. Didn’t try the breakfast so can’t speak to food. Staff very friendly. Only problem was it was like sleeping in a sauna. Hottest hotel room on earth.
This place is a little jem in Donegal town.The room was so cosy and clean.zThe bed was really comfortable and i definitely couldn't fault it. The reception staff were so friendly and I would definitely stay here again.zThe breakfast is definitely worth the money as the restaurant is first class.
Loved the location. Very easy walk to shopping area and restaurants. Everyone was very pleasant and friendly . We also enjoyed breakfast very much at the lodge.
Friendly staff, easy check-in, clean room, quiet, comfortable night’s sleep, close to city centre & Donegal Castle, very spacious room & updated bathroom.
Absolutely brilliant stay. Friendly staff, huge spotlessly clean room and delicious breakfast. We would definitely stay again.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The main reason for my lower rating is that the sheets were dirty (dirt and hair in them), and when we called down to the night porter he didn't offer to change them and wasn't very apologetic. He did provide clean sheets and we changed them ourselves. In the morning the staff was lovely though, and otherwise a clean room.
My stay was a normal. We were traveling around Ireland. What happened after the stay was amazing. I left my iPad in the room and we were down in Galway. The folks at the hotel found my iPad and helped get it shipped to my upcoming hotel in Dublin. Amazing and the best customer service I have ever had when staying in at a hotel. Period. Thank you for your help.
