Nice midweek break and decent prices - except for the wine, but that seems to be a problem everywhere in the South!! However we had a quiet room and the breakfast is of an excellent quality. I think thats nearly 200 characters... What about now? Still not there. Maybe now...

A group of sixteen of us stayed for two nights in the Abbey Hotel. I cannot rate this hotel highly enough. Staff were so welcoming and dealt swiftly and efficiently with various requests for help and information :) The breakfasts and dinners included in our package were fantastic and there was very enjoyable bingo and musical entertainment each night.

My friend and I were only there for a night but had a great time! The breakfast was good, the rooms were comfy, and the location was ideal - we had a great view of the river and the trees beyond. The best thing though was the unbelievable service that we were welcomed with and the women at reception who... More

A friend and I stayed at Abbey recently, while there were bus strikes on! We were feeling that it would be almost impossible to get to Northern Ireland in time after our stay! The reception was so helpful! They organised a taxi with a great deal! Printed out bus times in Northern Ireland for when we reached the border! We... More

There were 16 of us staying ranging in age from 20 to 50s. The hotel is a good three star, all our rooms were spacious and clean with free wifi and a flat screen TV. The public car park is only about 300 yards from hotel, so if you can park outside hotel to drop off your bags and you... More

Stayed here in January with a group of friends. Had a lovely time until the second night when we were stuck in the lift for 25 mins. Staff never acknowledged the incident when we finally got out, not as much as a drink of water was offered. On checking out the receptionist was very rude and argued that the lift... More

The hotel was very, clean, tidy and food was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you. The only downside was the noise outside in the square at night when the nightclubs are chucking out time but that's not the hotels fault and parking is very limited round the diamond but the hotel give you a...

This hotel is right in the centre of the town, where you can experience the fab bars and restaurants, the water boat tour, the tourist information centre, the shops , the tour buses, but most of all the craic and the great Dongeal people . Reception staff are welcoming and friendly. Breakfast is a 'help yourself buffet' which I'm not... More

Right in the centre of Donegal town, lovely warm welcoming hotel. Me and my boyfriend just landed and woman at reception was helpful and fuss free. Bar down stairs was nice and comfy. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. Rooms telly was wee bit fuzzy and old but not important.
