Unfortunately not a great stay. Quite an odor in the hotel not sure what it is. The pillows were terrible, the lighting in bathroom was like a hospital. Couldn't get help with bags down from our room so we likely wouldn't come back. Just not a comfortable stay compared to others on our trip.

The room was clean, though the carpet had some stains. Being Canadian, would have loved the room to have a mini fridge. Breakfast was hearty and delicious. Lively lobby, bar and restaurant. Great location for a stroll through town.

We enjoyed the central location of the hotel as it was right in the center of everything. There was convenient parking. Our only complaint would the rooms were quite stuffy A ceiling fan would have been a wonderful addition. The breakfast was excellent as you can add it onto your stay.

Atrocious check-in--loud music playing and the attendant chose to talk over another conversation rather than let herself be heard.

My wife and I had a tremendous weekend in Donegal Town. The Abbey Hotel was a perfect base with the square right out front of the Hotel. The room was huge with a very comfortable bed. We were there to see Onoir, but the hotel also had live Irish music playing in afternoon and evening. It was great. But the real star is the Hotel porter, Patrick. He could not have done anymore for us, always stopped to chat and ask if we needed anything. My wife was feeling the heat, Patrick went out his way to put a fan in our room πŸ‘Œ. People like Patrick are what makes your Hotel so good, he goes out his way to meet your needs. Thanks, Patrick πŸ‘ We will definetly be back. And Onoir were sensational πŸ˜‰ Stevie and Donna

The hotel was advertised with air conditioning. The bar is air conditioned. The rooms do not have fans. Apparently they only have a few and should be reserved in advance. The room had no tissues. I would never recommend

Nothing! One person checking in with the 20 minutes to be served. Specifically requested a quit room was given a room on the third floor, where the exhaust fans go into the middle square area, seagulls fighting at 5:30am in Morning. I won’t be staying here again.

The room surfaces were clean but the air quality was poor: air circulation was poor, and there was a strong mouldy smell that originated from the bathroom. The hotel felt safe and the beds were fine, and the location is great. Overall, it feels like good value for staying right on The Diamond, but Donegal is small enough that perhaps staying slightly away from the centre would be fine too.
