Reviews and Ratings
I had a great stay at the hotel, even though there were a few minor issues. The location is superb, right in the heart of Donegal Town, with plenty of things to do and eat nearby. The rooms were nice, but a bit noisy when the window was open. The service was good overall, although the bar staff in the evening could have been better. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown, but there were plenty of options to choose from. The facilities were decent and met my needs.
The hotel is in a great central location, close to many eateries and attractions. The rooms are pristine, cozy, and the staff deserves commendation for their excellent service. However, the noise from the air conditioning unit can be bothersome. Overall, good value for money.
The hotel has a superb location at the center of Donegal town. The rooms, although a bit dated, offer a glimpse of the beautiful river behind the hotel. The service was very accommodating and informative, yet the need for staff to escort guests to the toilets was a minor inconvenience. Dining options were varied but the quality was not consistent. Overall, a great location with some areas needing improvement.
I couldn't have asked for a better location! It was right in the town center, making it incredibly convenient for my stay. The service was top-notch, with staff like Adam in the bar and night porter Darren going above and beyond to make my experience so enjoyable. The rooms may have been a bit dated, but that didn't take away from the overall fantastic atmosphere. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a buffet-style breakfast that could use a bit of improvement, but the menu still offered tasty options. A great spot for a guys' golf trip with friends!
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were of good standard, spacious, but the quality of the bedding could be improved. The service was a bit inconsistent but mostly friendly. The location was great being in the center of Donegal town, although some decorative aspects were disappointing. The dining was a letdown with some disturbances. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs.
The hotel was comfortable and spotless, although the bathroom could use some updating. The music played quite late into the night, but overall, it's a decent choice for a stay in Donegal town.
The hotel is right in the center of town, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The staff were accommodating and friendly, providing a nice buzz to the place. However, some noise from large groups and the fan in the bathroom made it a bit difficult to sleep at times. The breakfast options were a bit limited but overall good value for money.
The hotel is ideally located in the town center, perfect for exploring bars and restaurants. The service was lacking clarity on extra charges, but the staff was friendly. The dining options were somewhat limited, but the Abbey bar staff were efficient and welcoming. The facilities were decent overall, providing a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful overall. The rooms were a bit warm, but I prefer that over being cold. The food was impressive, and the staff went above and beyond, even giving us a complimentary wine and prosecco to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
