Great location for a lovely town

This hotel is in a great location. The town of Donegal is quite lovely and very easy to walk in. I was driving throughout Ireland (over 900 miles on the trip), and this hotel was easy to find, had free parking, and was a eight minute walk from the center of the town.

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.

8/10 Very good

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.
