This hotel is a little overpriced at 100 euros per night given the extremely dated rooms, sagging mattresses, and ancient bathroom fixtures, but it was clean, the location is wonderful, the staff are very pleasant, and the view over the water is fantastic (hence the price). The "car park" is a joke of a tiny little postage stamp of a... more

Donegal Town is very small but lovely, as they say in Ireland. The hotel is nice - WiFi, a gym, decent restaurant and, of course, a bar. A lot of people come from around Ireland for the weekend. Many of them sounded like they were all in the next room. Ocassionally, people would knock on my door mistakingly - but... more

I booked 5 weeks in advance of my holiday and asked specifically for a quiet room as I am a very light sleeper. When we arrived we were sent (no bellboy employed) to the very back of the hotel and put in the pokiest room with a generator outside the window! I got the noisiest room possible so no-one paid... more

I keep reading the good reviews of this hotel and have to draw the conclusion that there must be a magic floor that they keep nice for really special people. I stayed here with a group of friends, and presumably they gave us a crappy room in the assumption we'd to loud, annoying and too drunk to notice this shabby... more

I booked directly with Central Hotel over the phone about two weeks prior to our stay. On the arrival of my roommate at the hotel at 6.15pm she was advised that the room had been let go!! At no time were we advised that our room might have been let go if we were not there by a certain time,... more

Booked in at 3.30 and were given the keys. There were empty bottles and glasses outside several doors along the corridor, the floor had not been hoovered and there was a musty odour. Cigerette butts and empty boxes, and empty glasses were strewn outside every exit. When we got to the rooms they were in a mess, just the way... more

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
