The menu in the bar for lunch had a great selection, however, what was produced for both my wife and myself left a lot to be desired, chips burned and not a great taste, same for my wife, we ordered 2 different dishes and to be honest we should have sent both back, it was that bad
Mcgettigans is a lovely Hotel in the Centre of Letterkenny.The hotel is very clean,the staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are comfortable and clean.The breakfast here is great .We will definately come back here . I would highly recommend this hotel.

The night staff were ever so friendly. Only downfall is that the air conditioning in the room was not working, the window barely opened for air and we had to ask for a fan. We were kindly given a fan at reception, however the desk fan was so loud and hardly worked.
Unfortunately our nights stay was so uncomfortable due to the heat, we did mention this on check out, but the morning staff appeared to be quite busy and shrugged it off. The woman behind the desk was trying to put the blame on us for not working the air con, when we tried lots of options and had also asked for help during the night to cool the room down. Neither of us barely slept.
The bathroom also, wasn’t clean. The shower had multiple blonde/grey hairs around the switch of the shower and also black hair at the bottom of the bath.
We did also have to send back drinks due to lipstick stains on the glasses.
The furniture in the bedrooms does not match reception, it’s quite dated and the bathrooms are mouldy. I wouldn’t come back to stay another night unfortunately, quite pricey for what we’d got. The hotel looks gorgeous online and from the outside and we were so excited to stay.
We came for my husband’s birthday with our one year old son. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were brilliant. My son has wheat allergies and the chef serving breakfast noticed me pick up a GF cereal for him, and then offered other GF items including bread and sausages. The next morning when we came down for breakfast, as soon as she saw us she went and made him some more sausages! It was the nicest hotel breakfast we have had in ages. My husband who doesn’t usually eat or enjoy breakfast particularly loved it. The hotel and rooms were lovely, and the restaurant attached to hotel served delicious food and also catered to his milk and wheat allergies! The beds in the rooms were also super comfortable. We would usually have a different go to hotel in Letterkenny, but this is definitely our new hotel now!
Close to local bus station 5 minute walk. Bed and pillows were the most comfortable, in fact Im going to contact the hotel and ask where i can buy the pillows. Free wifi and the restaurant food was fab.
Just a shame there was a fire alarm when we were in bed being a false alert
Glad the alarms work though
Room was lovely warm and comfy
Very clean
Staff very welcoming and friendly
Will definitely come back
Excellent hotel with friendly staff. Check in was 3 p.m but our room was available from 1. Spacious room, really clean and comfortable with the added bonus of air con which was brilliant with the weather being so hot. Would highly recommend staying here, right in town so you can walk just about anywhere
We booked this hotel last minute. It was a great spot to stop for the night. The bar was great! We had some nachos and drinks (they make a great mojito). Parking was not ideal as the lot was small so it took us a bit to find a spot. Overall it was a good stay!
