Óstan Loch Altan (Loch Altan Hotel)

Well, it’s your basic nothing special roadside hotel. not near town or anything! It’s only a few feet from the main road so I wouldn’t want to stay in any of the rooms at the front of the hotel. From the photo it looks like it’s right on the water, but it’s not close to the water at all. I asked for a quiet room at the back, it had zero view except for the kitchen roof of the hotel. But it was quiet. A very small room couple of feet on each side of the bed. There was lots of parking and it had a large restaurant, bar. And breakfast was included, which was good. It was so basic and plain. I never took a single picture. There was nothing to take a picture of.

We visited the hotel for a sunday lunch birthday celebration and was very disappointed to say the least. We had 2 starters of brie and mushrooms. The brie was old and you could taste the aged rind. The mushrooms were undercooked and the contained cheese was not melted. The accompanying salad was wilted, browning and turned over. ||We thought a good main course would make up for it but we were wrong. The poached cod was cold... as in cold cold. The chicken was microwaved to the max both dishes atop lumpy reconstituted mash that was at least 1 or 2 days old and again so microwaved you could taste the burnt butter in the mash. The ham was really poor quality and undercooked. The glasses were covered in greasy fingerprints and lipstick. ||The time taken between the starters and mains was excessive and we were the first of 2 tables dining. We discussed what to do and we left our meals mostly intact.||We were not asked how the meal was when I went to pay and even when I outlined the issues, the bar staff did apologise and then charged us the full fee (€79.50 including 3 drinks). We left and what we assume were the supervisors were at reception and didn't speak to us despite our food passing them less than 5 minutes prior. I rang the hotel afterwards to raise the issues and they did offer a refund which we declined as we were already driving home and this should have happened before payment in full was made. ||We will never be back primarily for the quality of the food... shocking!

We stopped by for a light lunch. It was expensive and very poor quality food. We ordered seafood chowder which was a small bowl of mostly veg., a few frozen prawns and tiny fish pieces. It was drowned in cream. Each bowl cost €11:95! The serving staff were very pleasant, but the food very disappointing.

It’s situated right On the main road, but we had a Room on the road side. It wasn’t noisy at night time. There are two menus One for regular diners And one for Groupon customers, With smaller selections.

We have been here a few times now for a meal and we really enjoy the friendly service and comfortable relaxing lounge bar, a great pint and good food.

All the staff were so professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, nothing was a bother to them. ||Our large bedroom and bathroom were both very clean and warm. (Bathroom had a shower and a jacuzzi bath, heaven)||Great breakfast, both continental and cooked, really sets you up for the day. We didn"t need to eat until dinnertime. ||Evening meals were beautiful as well, there was a great choice, we ate the 3 nights we stayed here, each night we both ordered something different from the menu, every dish we had was so tasty, well cooked with local ingredients. all lovely. No complaints at all. ||This hotel is a great, quiet location for visiting all the spectacular scenic local spots including Glenveagh Park & Castle, Errigal and Muckish mountains, the harbour and the beautiful beaches along the Atlantic Way.

Stayed here in lovely Gortahork recently for a weekend stay. Firstly I must compliment the friendliness of the staff, always pleasant and helpful. Food was lovely and drinks reasonably priced. The rooms are a little bit dated but bed was comfortable. Bathroom spotless and plenty of towels. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

A very nice 4 star hotel with great service. Located on the Main road, this property serves well if anyone wants to stay in and around this area to visit Mount Errigal, Magheratoy beach and many more places. Staff too is very friendly and helpful - going beyond their service for guests. Recommended to anyone who is looking for a nice stay and food.
