Staff and food are great. The bedrooms themselves are barely a 2 star and im not exaggerating. The whole hotel needs a makeover ASAP.

This hotel was charming. There was live music and the staff were overly hospitable. On the downside, our sink didn’t drain, the WiFi didn’t work and the room was stuffy. The rooms could use some updates. But can’t say that I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Quick stay no to 4th floor
Quick 8pm to 11am stay on path elsewhere. Preface with hotel under construction but prices the same. Got given 4th floor room. Clearly a room they have not got to yet. Bathroom decent- room old musty no Internet and no tv channels paint peeling off wall. Walked past 3rd floor room as elevator goes to 4 only. And it was nicer. Superb location for a quick stay in donegal town. Centrally located.

Noisy rooms beware
Room was noisy with an extractor fan just outside our room. Even with the window closed it was noisy. We complained and even though it was turned off it still made a noise. We complained a further 3 times before we were reluctantly moved. If you get this room complain immediately you will know as it is noisy when you enter the room, don’t accept that it will be fine when it is turned off later in the evening, as we were told.

Room too hot, area very loud late at night
Our room was uncomfortably warm at all times during our stay (late June and it was NOT a heat wave). No A/C and a window that could only be opened a couple of inches. The loud late-night noise from the pub and club goers who hung around in front of the hotel until well after 3 AM after the bars closed made it hard to sleep, especially if we needed to open the window to try to cool the room. Overnight staff was unsympathetic to our situation.
