Lovely large room with spacious and clean bathroom. Easy to get to with loads of parking and quick walk into Donegal to see the castle or a local pub (The Forge is 100m away and also excellent). Would highly recommend getting the breakfast (12.5 Euro pp) as it was delicious and excellent value.

We stayed here one night while driving the Wild Atlantic Way. We were extremely pleased with our stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. No AC but they did have a fan.Looks to be a newer building. They are in a good location and have a big parking lot. You can walk a few blocks into town to most of the restaurants. The bathroom was new but it was very small and the water pressure wasn't that good. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

The room was simple and spotless, the breakfast was delightful, and the person checking us is was happy and bubbly! The whole stay was a joy! Only thing missing was a face cloth. We learned that many hotels in Ireland don't have face wash clothes, so nothing specific against this hotel. Otherwise, it was perfect!

Beautiful breakfast and was so close to town. The receptionist was friendly and very helpful! There was a long hair on the pillowcase and one on the toilet seat. The place seemed clean but the hair was a bit off putting.

What a wonderful asset Lucy is. I couldn't have had a warmer welcome, although I am not sure she believed me when I said I wouldn't need the late access key fob. A wealth of information given, and help offered. Thank you

Room was small but big enough. Room and bathroom all seemed nice and new. Plenty of parking. Didn’t try the breakfast so can’t speak to food. Staff very friendly. Only problem was it was like sleeping in a sauna. Hottest hotel room on earth.
