Upon entering the room immediately hit by loud humming and clanking noise. Talked to the front desk person and asked what could be done for the noise, they offered to send a handy person to check it out while we were out for dinner. After dinner came back to the front desk and they assured me that the noise was from the kitchen fan and would stop as soon as the dinner service was over which would be soon. We went up to our room where we realized there was only one cup for tea. Having had an unfriendly exchange with the front desk, my husband went down for a second cup. While we we’re getting ready for bed the toilet paper holder fell off the wall and I noticed that there was a sticky substance on my bedside table. The noise continued through the night and I was woken many times. In the light of the next day noticed many additional things about the room that were unclean: all surfaces sticky, crumbs on the chair, and the most disgusting was a used bandaid stuck to the headboard. While checking out I informed the person at the front desk about all the issues. They told me that there were many rooms and I should have requested a room change. I explained that that option wasn’t provided the previous night when I asked about the noise and we didn’t notice most of the uncleanliness until the morning light. The front desk person continued to blame me for not getting a new room. Shocking lack of customer service.

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

Old but well maintained property. We got a nice room with terrace view. Heart of the city center. No issues except for the parking. Parking was tough as to be expected in city center area. Loved our stay.

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.
