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.

Don’t book!!!!

Horrible. Not what I thought. Should have looked better at the pictures but they were misleading. The entire hotel was filthy. And the room…even worse. Gross, filthy, made my skin crawl. There was a greasy handprint above the bed and the chairs were ripped. I didn’t stay. I left!

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

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.
