Ritorno al passato (da dimenticare)
Pros:

Posizione nel centro città e pub interno la sera dopo le 20.30

Cons:

La camera un disastro: molto vecchia con moquette maleodorante e mobili brutti, tenda alla doccia consunta, letto e materasso improponibile, la vista dalla finestra consisteva in una corte interna di 3 mq con il tubo della cappa della cucina a 40 cm da essa... cattivi odori e rumori tutto il giorno... meno male ci siamo rimasti solo 2 notti.

Perfect location for a short stay in Donegal! Clean room, friendly staff, and walking distance to everything you want to
Pros:

Location was incredible! Helpful staff. Clean and comfortable room.

Cons:

Very noisy. Bars and clubs were right next door so people gathered and chatted loudly until 3am underneath our window.
