Staff were so helpful and friendly, the entire property is will maintained and stylish furnishings. Rooms are comfortable and clean, bathrooms clean. Shower lacks water pressure but found this in most places. The breakfast was the tastiest we have had on our four week journey across the UK so far. Donegal itself is a beautiful place. Highly recommend this place and town.

In a pinch
This place is fine for a night in a pinch but if possible I would recommend staying elsewhere. Staff is nice, but hotel and rooms need some TLC. A little expensive in my opinion for the condition of the rooms.

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, we didn’t do the breakfast as we thought it was a bit pricey. The bathroom was very clean and had lovely toiletries provided. I would definitely stay here again.

The location of this hotel was ideal-- right in the middle of Donegal town, near shops, pubs and restaurants. There were two things that made me not give the place a higher rating. The first is that we had an actual key for our room, which was a little weird, more of an inconvenience as our older kids like to do things on their own, but someone would need to wait for them, so they could get into the room (also no keycard meant that anyone could get on the elevator). The other thing was the noise from outside at night. The pro of being in the city center is that you have opportunities to get out and enjoy the town easily; the con is that, when you have thin windows, you get to hear everyone else have a good time late into the night. We did not sleep well here.
