Stayed here for two nights, never again, people having parties in the hallways at 3 in the night, knocking on doors, breaking glasses, singing and shouting, all in the middle of the night. Restaurant was like faulty towers, total farce, booked for 8, no table til half 8 (whats the point of booking???!!!!) Got someone elses food, asked for a... more

If your going to Donegal...........dont stay here!! A tent by the river would have better service!! Hotel staff very unfriendly. Bathroom was very poor and shower had a mind of its own! Food was just OK at best. Iron Board in the hall, even thought it states in the hotel services that there is an iron/board available to be brought... more

We stayed in the Central Hotel as part of an offer. It was a false economy as the hotel was dingy, noisy and smelt damp. The crowning moment was the meal on Saturday night where the 'manager' (a cross between a bouncer and a particularly bad-tempered dinnerlady) scolded me for asking a question about the menu options. I was loudly... more

Just back from the Central Hotel and must say the hotel was great, room was lovely and clean and the location was great - right in the centre of Donegal. The reception staff were very friendly but the breakfast staff weren't overly. Not rude or anything but just doing what they had to full stop. I would recomend this hotel... more

We stayed in the Central for one night because we were attending a function there. We were given a group rate but any sort of discounted price would not excuse the quality of the accommodation we had the displeasure of spending the night in. The room was dark and dingy - facing an inner courtyard,the bed sagged and the quality... more

The hotel is centrally located, right on the triangle of shops. The girl at the front desk was very unfriendly the entire time, and the hotel is a little run-down, but the manager was very helpful and there was traditional Irish singing at night in the bar, which made it worth it. In the hotel, you have to walk a... more

We were part of an Urquhart Tour leaving Glasgow on 5th November and staying for five days. This was one of the best tours we've done (we've been doing Urquhart Tours for over 25 years). The Central in Donegal was wonderful, the hotel, staff, service, rooms, entertainment was first class. The Central Hotel gave everyone a welcome and the food... more
