    wonderful view
    thoughtful surprises
    dated decor
    noise disturbances

    Brace yourself for this review!

    Fantastic experience celebrating my husband’s and son’s birthdays! Our family room had a lovely view, and we were surprised with complimentary bubbly and a delicious dessert. Staff attention made our stay special, despite some dated decor. The hotel is lively and central, but noise could be an issue for light sleepers.

    great view
    spacious room
    good breakfast
    dinner delay
    noise disturbance

    The room had a great view of the town square. Clean, spacious, and the decor was charming. Breakfast options were good, plenty of choices and tasted fresh. Though, we experienced a delay in dinner service one night due to a wedding, which was a bit frustrating. The noise from outside was bothersome, especially at night, which made it hard to sleep. Additionally, the staff could have been a bit more attentive during peak times. The hotel is in a prime location, easy to explore the town and nearby sites. Parking was affordable, a nice perk. Overall, the stay had highlights, but the noise and service issues need addressing.

    helpful bartender
    satisfying food
    welcoming atmosphere
    inconvenient parking
    noisy room

    I enjoyed my time exploring the town. The bartender helped me with maps and recommendations. The food and drinks were satisfying, and I felt welcomed. It made my stay better as a solo traveler from New York.

    I found parking to be inconvenient, and my room had issues with noise from the air conditioning units outside.

    Beautiful views from rooms facing the River Eske, unique character of the hotel, live music and entertainment

    The outdated fixtures and musty smells made it hard to enjoy my stay!!! Plus, the inconsistent WiFi and parking situation need serious attention to prevent future frustrations.

    lacking amenities
    limited dining options

    The Abbey Hotel Donegal offered a central location that made it easy to explore the castle and local shops. The clean room was comfortable, allowing for a restful night after a busy day. The staff showed great professionalism, encouraging me with recommendations for dining and local attractions.

    A few amenities were lacking, and I found the dining options limited.

    Memorable Stay with Delicious Dining Options!

    Our family enjoyed a cozy night with beautiful views of the river from our room. Dinner exceeded expectations, particularly the lamb dish! For a fun outing, stroll to the nearby public park. Just be prepared for limited parking options.
