The hotel's location is excellent, being right on the diamond and convenient to all shops and restaurants. The rooms were satisfactory, but facing into other parts of the building. The service was attentive and enjoyable, with some room for improvement in cocktail making. The dining experience had its downsides with a limited breakfast selection. The hotel's facilities were in good condition, making for an overall pleasant stay.
The hotel provided a mixed experience. The rooms were clean but outdated and uncomfortable, though the location was lovely in the morning. The service was helpful overall, despite some issues with communication. The central town location was convenient, but the dining options fell short in quality.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were comfortable and warm, they had old furniture, and some parts of the service were lacking. The location was convenient for exploring the city, but the dining experience was not impressive for the price paid.
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.
I had the most fun, relaxed, and delighted stay at this hotel! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and I will definitely be returning very soon. However, the lack of a 'welcome' booklet was a minor downside.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located near charming pubs and restaurants, although the outdoor noise was a bit bothersome. The service was swift and accommodating, especially in the upper deck bar. The room, while basic and in need of refreshing, offered a lovely view of the kitchen roof. 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 hotel is centrally located for sightseeing trips around the Atlantic Coastal routes and offers parking nearby for a minimal fee. 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 dining options were satisfactory but had a minor noise disturbance. Overall, the hotel provides good value for money with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were extremely dirty and noisy due to an event on Friday night, but the receptionists were lovely. Breakfast was a bit of a mess, with a used table and staff not being attentive. The cost at the weekend was also a bit high for the experience.
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.
