Clean rooms, lovely staff, nice food in the bar, nice brekkie. One gripe was the music was so insanely loud in the bar we couldn't bear to stay there even to finish our drinks - totally uncalled for in a hotel bar (nightclub level volume)

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!

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
