10/10 Excellent

Love this hotel in the heart of Donegal. What a cool little town. So close to everything. 3 carparks in the area, and so many little shops, pubs and restaurants. The hotel was great, room was fine in size for the night we stayed and amenities were fine.

Jennie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Market restaurant was excellent. The property still maintains a dated, fusty atmosphere, nowhere more so that in the reception/lobby area. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Location very central.

Wanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We had a member of our party with an accidental fall and the staff were very helpful with what they had of a first aid kit and ice. Parking is nearly impossible in the area but otherwise it is a quaint area that feels lovely and very safe.
Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Abbey was a nice quiet hotel in the center of the town square which made it convenient for shopping, touring, and dining.

Great location easy bus access out front. and friendly & helpful staff. Simple, but clean room. Too warm & stuffy with no temp control in room. Door to room hard to open with key.

6/10 Okay

Had requested an accessible thew yourselves as my husband is an amputte, but that didn't happen and the lift was broken so we had to go to the other side of the he hotel and use a twin room (2single beds) the shower was a nightmare for my husband to get into
Janet, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

he Abbey Hotel is centrally located in Donegal Town, which made it incredibly convenient for walking around, sightseeing, and enjoying local restaurants and shops. The staff were kind and helpful, even during what seemed to be a busy event happening on the property the day I arrived — things were a bit hectic, but they handled it well and remained courteous throughout. That said, there are a couple of things future guests should be aware of: the hotel does not have air conditioning, and unfortunately, this isn't clearly stated on Expedia. My room was very warm, and with the window barely opening, there was little airflow to cool things down — especially uncomfortable for those of us who tend to run hot. This definitely affected the comfort level of my stay. Overall, the location and staff were great, but the lack of A/C and limited ventilation in the room are important factors to consider, especially if you're traveling during warmer months.
Christopher, 1-night trip
