Really enjoyed our stay here, staff were friendly, our room was very comfortable, had good facilities ( including a proper hairdryer!) and we had the most amazing view from our room. It was good value and in the heart of the town , so not far to walk anywhere. Great recommendations for food and drink from the hotel staff. Would stay again!

Great Stay in the Heart of Donegal We recently stayed at the Central Donegal Hotel and had a really good experience. The location is perfect—right in the center of town and close to everything we wanted to see. The room was comfortable and clean, and while parking wasn’t included, there was a paid lot nearby that made things easy. We opted for the paid buffet breakfast, which was tasty and convenient before heading out for the day. Like many places in Ireland, the room didn’t have air conditioning, but we were able to open the window and get enough ventilation to stay comfortable. Overall, a very pleasant stay. We’d definitely recommend the Central Donegal Hotel to anyone visiting the area.
