The hotel is centrally located in Donegal, making it convenient for exploring the town. While the rooms needed a facelift and were a bit dated, they were warm and cozy on the second day. The service was attentive and accommodating, especially in the bar. The dining experience had some delays, but the menu items were satisfactory. Overall, a decent option for a stay in the heart of Donegal.

The dining experience was satisfactory, with a decent selection of breakfast items. Overall, a mixed but decent stay.

The hotel's rooms, while basic and in need of an update, were surprisingly clean and comfortable despite a faint smell of smoke, which was slightly off-putting. The service, although mostly helpful and accommodating, had a couple of instances that lacked attention to detail. The location was absolutely perfect, within walking distance of shops and pubs, making it a convenient choice. The dining experience, while a bit hit-or-miss with some service issues, offered decent options. Facilities were satisfactory, providing the essentials for a comfortable stay.

The rooms are clean and tidy, though dated in decor, with a comfortable size. The service was friendly and helpful, with a slight noise issue in the evening.

The hotel location is ideal, right in the center of Donegal Town, welcoming, and updated. The views over the harbor estuary are stunning, but the rooms didn't match the photos online. The service, from the reception to the manager Louise, was top-notch, although they seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. The dining experience was a bit underwhelming, but the local fresh products were a plus. Overall, the reasonable price paid was fair for the convenient location, despite the need for refurbishment in some areas.
