    Bar could have been more comfortable. It was not very inviting.

    Comfortable bed. Good breakfast - it was hot and served on hot plates.

    Only stayed one night but it was fabulous. Really can't fault the Waterfront at all. Beautiful location, wonderful staff and probably the best breakfast I've ever had in any hotel...ever. Will definitely be back. 5 stars.

    Beautiful, cosy hotel overlooking the sea - a perfect getaway spot!

    I loved my stay here but if I had to get really picky, there were a few areas to improve my experience; The Receptionist was friendly and helpful on check-in although I didn’t get the WiFi password details or asked to give a credit card to make charges to the room. I did find the bedroom a little cold before bed and wasn’t sure how to work the heating. Breakfast was tasty and the Chef catered to my fussy needs, although I’d like to have porridge made fresh to order (rather than pre-made), a nicer selection of more premium breads (sourdough for example) and fruit options that aren’t drowned in juices (although a lot of hotels still do this).

    Beautifully situated overlooking the water, this cosy hotel was perfect for a solo staycation in the heart of Donegal. Perfectly based to explore Donegal and the staff here were wonderful and so friendly. I did get a change of room to a sea view which was so appreciated - it’s the little things :) I had a late lunch when I arrived. Fresh fish, wonderfully cooked with a sea view to die for. The bedrooms were comfy and cosy and had a kettle to make tea / coffee, bottled water and a decent hairdryer. Breakfast Chef was really helpful for all my (fussy) needs. There’s also a great gym behind the hotel that guests have access to. When the weather allows there’s outdoor seating with a lovely view of the sea! I’d definitely come back to stay here in a heart beat and only I had work to go back to, I’d have checked in for another night! Can’t wait to come back.

    no swimming pool, sauna or steam joint. To be fair, I went on word of mouth... should of done my own research,

    The staff were 100%, receptionist, chefs, and bar staff were all good craic... knowledgeable about the local area like where was best place to sea swim, where was good for a session and they knew cocktails and food! food and drink was unreal, a hungover breakfast looking out over the sea was brilliant. plenty of parking with a descent wee smoking area. Very close to the town which has a couple of nice pubs close by. Hopefully be back in the not too distant future.

    We upgraded to a "deluxe room" which was £80 extra - we were very disappointed to find it was exactly the same size and decor as the standard room the only difference being you had a sea view. If we had known the rooms were identical we would have not paid for the upgrade as I don't think it was worth it due to the size of the room.

    Hotel was spotless , staff were friendly and food was delicious! Hotel located close to main street which had great pubs/restaurants. There was entertainment on Saturday 2 guys playing guitar and fiddle who sang a good range of songs and were brilliant! The hotel was very quiet but this was likely due to it being the end of the Easter holidays. All in all we had a lovely stay and would recommend for a nice quiet break.

    Nothing it has everything for a great stay.

    This hotel has everything to ensure that you have a wonderful stay. The staff is amazing. Great wine recommendations for a dinner that was super. We had wine that I would never try myself. Breakfast was amazing. The bed is so comfortable. A great night sleep is guaranteed. The place was so clean. A lovely walk into the village as recommended by the receptionist.

    The shower pressure wasn't very powerful.

    Everything was fine. The breakfast was very nice. We chose the 'mini' breakfast off the menu, which was more than enough for us and very tasty. The rooms are fine, and comfortable. We only stayed one night, and it was totally adequate for us. The staff were all extremely pleasant, particularly the lady on reception, and the lady who served me my first pint of Guinness in Dungloe, and also served us breakfast. We were also able to check in to our room early, which was very convenient for us. Great views over Dungloe and the bay from the front of the hotel.
