This is a very old hotel and we knew that but it is very dated looking and could use a refresh in some areas. The carpet in our room was disgusting.

Love this hotel in the heart of Donegal. What a cool little town. So close to everything. 3 carparks in the area, and so many little shops, pubs and restaurants. The hotel was great, room was fine in size for the night we stayed and amenities were fine.

Market restaurant was excellent. The property still maintains a dated, fusty atmosphere, nowhere more so that in the reception/lobby area. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Location very central.

This hotel is in need of a coat of paint and a warning that there is zero place to park. The rates for street parking are outrageous. The expensive breakfast was terrible. No shampoo. The beds are terrible. Avoid this property at all costs

Das Zimmer war nach hinten raus deshalb auch ruhig, es war groß und sauber. Das Frühstück war gut das Personal freundlich. Die Lage war sehr zentral und die öffentlichen Parkplätze um das Hotel sehr günstig.(ca. 3 € pro Tag, der Sonntag war umsonst) Schrecklich fand ich die Musik im Hotel, hatte wenig mit Irland zu tun.

We had a member of our party with an accidental fall and the staff were very helpful with what they had of a first aid kit and ice. Parking is nearly impossible in the area but otherwise it is a quaint area that feels lovely and very safe.

Great location. The bus stop right outside may either be a bonus or deterrent as lots of people hang out there.
