Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is in a great location, but very mundane overall. We had a relatively small room for the price we paid. Small matters such as plastic cups in the bathrooms, lack of conditioner in the shower or skin moisturizer in the bathroom are notable in comparison to other hotels where we have stayed. Very limited television options, even just for news. Overall, the hotel serves a purpose and was safe, but it’s not a place I would go out of the way to use again.

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.
