    Nothing really. Would have been convenient to have a laundry facility on site but we had fun using the outside laundromat at the Circle K.

    The room was huge! Loved the decor and esthetic! It was by far my favorite place that we stayed in our trip to Europe. The breakfasts were amazing as well. The staff was so helpful and answered all our questions and made sure we had what we needed.

    Everything went well so I'll definitely comeback to this place if I have to. If there is any minor detail is to have more herbal teas in the room and not only black tea and coffee with the kettle.

    The location is perfect, minutes from city centre but in a more residential area so it's very quite at night. It has a parking if you're doing a road trip so that's very handy. The breakfast is great, the food is fresh and good quality, nice variety of options for everybody. I believe is one of best options for value you have in Donegal town.

    Property is well situated with comfortable beds.

    Not much space for luggage in room. Room is a little dark because of the overhang due to access via an external walkway. The latter might not appeal to everyone as it felt a bit exposed both from a weather and security perspective though the receptionist was at pains to emphasize the presence of staff at their desk at all times. Dark shades on admirably-placed bedside lights are too dark to be useful for reading.

    Very comfortable bed and excellent shower. Convenient location both for Donegal Town and visiting West Donegal. Really welcoming reception staff who explained access very thoroughly and was reassuring about availability of night staff also.

    Only a tiny thing, but no air conditioning in our room. The weather was exceptionally warm though, I can't imagine this would be a problem at all 99% of the time!

    Excellent location, easily accessible but a quick easy walk into Donegal centre. The staff were excellent, and our room was comfortable. Breakfast was good, and had some options for dietary requirements.

    We were greeted by cheery staff and this accommodation is conveniently located within a 5 minute easy walking distance to Donegal Town. It has a lift if you’re staying on the first floor and the room is spacious and clean, with excellent amenities. The restaurant at the facility is open until 5pm and the breakfasts are amazing with a wide choice of options. You won’t need to have lunch! Highly recommend.

    I really can’t think of anything.

    Firstly, the welcome on arrival, the young lady was so pleasant and informative. The room was gorgeous with a large comfortable bed and great shower. The hotel is very clean and the cleaning staff very helpful and obliging. We had breakfast each morning, and once again were met with happy upbeat staff. The breakfast was really good and plenty of choice.
