This is a very old hotel and we knew that but it is very dated looking and could use a refresh in some areas. The carpet in our room was disgusting.

Don’t book!!!!

Horrible. Not what I thought. Should have looked better at the pictures but they were misleading. The entire hotel was filthy. And the room…even worse. Gross, filthy, made my skin crawl. There was a greasy handprint above the bed and the chairs were ripped. I didn’t stay. I left!

This hotel is in need of a coat of paint and a warning that there is zero place to park. The rates for street parking are outrageous. The expensive breakfast was terrible. No shampoo. The beds are terrible. Avoid this property at all costs

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.

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.
