"Depending on how much you pay, this is a good place to stay if looking for somewhere near Donegal Town with parking facility. As a guest house it mainly has classic decor/furniture style and although it feels homely, maintenance needs were evident. Security is relatively basic for a quiet location out of town, particularly room doors operated by key alone. Breakfast service is good as were the staff helpful and welcoming."

"."

Mill Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The whole place was spotless.. amazingly clean... bedrooms spotless... we had dinner in hotel and went with graemes recommendation... fantastic service from graeme .. highly recommend this hotel... enjoyed pool and jacuzzi... fantastic"

Atlantic Guest House

8/10 Good

"The room was very adequate for my family of four. The beds were very comfortable and we had a great sleep. I knew there wasn’t an en suite so that was fine. We had a lovely breakfast in the morning and the staff were lovely. It reminded me of staying in guests houses when we were younger around Ireland and there’s something lovely about that. It was perfect for our budget and needs."

Gateway Lodge Donegal

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect"

The Cliffe at the Quay

10/10 Excellent

"The outside is very well maintained and beautiful. Loved the ease of checking in and how you could just use a simple key fob. The suite was clean and had a lot of nice little touches throughout! We enjoyed the fireplace in the living room area as well. The only issue we had was with the shower. The water didn’t seem to stay hot long enough for two people to take showers and it got the floor wet more than expected."

Great Northern Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful place with good places to walk, staff friendly and helpful, easy walk to town. The only problem was very low water pressure in the bathroom especially the shower."
