Pros:

The room was comfortable & cosy, close to everything (walking distance) in Donegal town, staff were friendly & very accommodating when needed. I loved Donegal Town, the people were so friendly as I was travelling solo! ☘️

Cons:

The noise from the street was a bit loud ( because I had to leave the window open because it was a very hot summers night & there was no air con/fan in the room) they may need to invest in some pedestal fans for the rooms during the summer months, other than that I enjoyed my stay at O'Donnell's of Donegal.

Cons:

I would have thought the parking would have been free with the cost of the room..as being from the US I had no coins.

Part of our epic Ireland tour!
Pros:

The location was fantastic, staff were helpful and the room was clean with plenty of tea and coffee.
Cheap and cheerful!

Cons:

I didn't like sharing a bathroom or being on the 2nd floor. I have mobility issues and struggled to get up to the top floor. There was no TV, which would have been handy to have your 'own' noise.

Pros:

Posizione ottima, in centro, con parcheggio a pagamento (2 euro).
Camera pulita e spaziosa.

Cons:

Un po' difficile da trovare... Ci è stato dato l'eir code, quindi siamo arrivati nel punto esatto, ma per capire come funzionava abbiamo dovuto chiedere al pub.
Praticamente accanto al pub c'è una stradina, alla cui fine c'è questo famoso parcheggio. Posata la macchina, a metà della stradina sul muro c'è una teca con i lock. La porta di ingresso sta sempre nella stradina di fronte alla teca.

Zentrale Lage
Pros:

Zentrale Lage direkt im Zentrum von Donegal. Leistungen und Zimmer entsprachen der Beschreibung. Wir waren auf der Durchreise, da war die Nähe zu den Bushaltestellen und den Gaststätten sehr gut.

Cons:

Mit den Betreibern hatten wir ausschließlich per SMS kommuniziert. Etwas schade, aber das hatte zumindest problemlos geklappt.

Pros:

Room was really nice ,clean and comfortable

Cons:

Walls were very thin The people next door kept us awake until 3am just by talking ,which wasn't their fault to be honest
When booking it was not made clear we would be sharing a bathroom with the other rooms which made it a nuisance trying to have a shower the next day
It was stated parking was included but didn't tell us until we got there it was €2 each time to exit the car park staff also had to pay if they parked there we were told

Pros:

Muy buena ubicacion, parking comodo, surtido de cafe, azucar y te y calentador de agua en la habitacion.
Cama de matrimonio muy comoda y grande

Cons:

La habitacion incluia una cama de matrimonio y una individual que estaba muy incomoda el colchon se undia y la base no era firme, quizas para un niño pequeño pero para un chaval mas mayor muy incomodo para dormir.
