Nice place, good location
Pros:

Location was great. View of the harbor was pretty.

Cons:

For whatever reason, we thought it had air conditioning. It was a hot time of year, and where our room was, we didn't get any wind through there, so it was difficult to sleep.

Enjoyable stay, lovely views of the harbour in the centre of Killybegs.
Pros:

Hotel is gorgeous, room was lovely with sea view and balcony and very clean. Breakfast was fantastic. Very accessible to Killybegs town with shops and restaurants and the boat tours. We were booked on a boat tour on the Friday and it was right across the street. Pier Bar was also lovely, the barman was really nice and made us feel welcome.

Cons:

No air conditioning in the room which made the room a bit uncomfortable during the night as it was very warm. Staff were pleasant but could have been a bit more welcoming at reception.

Pros:

Jeg havde bestilt et luksus værelser med havudsigt og terrasse og det fik vi de havde dog glemt at skrive at vi skulle dele terrassen med 3 andre værelser det betød så at vi var nødt til at have trukket for
Morgenmaden og personalet der var rigtig udemærket

Cons:

Værelset var slidt og beskidt og virkede billigt med plastik vægge og gulv,der var ingen bløde klude som der er på de fleste hoteller her måtte man bruge toiletpapir hvis man skulle pudse næse
Vi spiste 2 aftner i restauranten og første aften var egentlig ok
Aften 2 var en fuser vi fik et bord med udsigt fra den ene side af bordet jeg bad om at få et andet bord fordi aircondition blæste lige ned på min ryg , tjeneren sagde at hun ville slukke så vi kunne blive siddende, det skete ikke og jeg måtte have fat i en anden tjener der fik slukket for aircondition i kort tid før den igen blev tændt, det var bare ikke i orden da jeg lige havde været syg og der i forvejen var meget koldt i restauranten
