The Abbey Hotel Donegal

I stayed in the Abbey Hotel in November. The stay was overall very nice and the breakfast was really rich, lovely breakfast , greeted by a lovely lady on the door and she seated me and took my coffee order as soon as i sat down. The girl on the hot plate was really helpful with my gluten allergy and she made sure that there was no cross-contamination. The abbey bar has lovely live music and really lovely staff. Reception was really welcoming and helpful with the surroundings. The only things that threw me off is the room was sort of dirty, the room was average but the bathroom was filthy. Very rude room staff, i smiled and said hello and got completely ignored. I was leaving early in morning at 7am and there was no one at the reception. I had to leave my key on the desk and the lights were off i could hardly see where i was going, the place was in darkness. I couldnt figure out how to get out as the front door was locked. There was no porter or receptionist anywhere to be seen. Thank you for my stay.

I had the most extremely amazing weekend staying for my 50th on the 22nd November nothing was a bother to staff. Thanks for the bottle of bubbles an card in my room an also another from the restaurant which 11 of us dined and again couldn't do enough for us. The entertainment went on to the wee small hours everything was perfect. We will be back very soon. You should be proud of all your staff .

All I can say what an outstanding stay! We came here before and had an awful experience and we were invited back and what a great time we had. Food was 10/10 service was 10/10 and the room was superb honestly couldn’t fault it.

The staff at this hotel are the friendless hotel staff ive ever encountered... really lovely.|I waa there on Saturday night the 29th of November 2025... |The entertainment was soooo good!!! ||A 2 piece band called The Silhouettes came on and totally rocked the place. Playing hit after hit to perfection!!! I had such a great time. I hope they come Back! They were fab. Played so many nostalgic hits from my youth I just had so much fun! Thank you Abbey Hotel and the Silhouettes

Staff was lovely and friendly. Food was outstanding due to me walking with crutches a member of staff helped me carry my tray of food to my table(now thats what you call great service). Room was massive, clean, room with a view. Great shops on door steps. Im disabled and found it very easy to get about in hotel and to the shops as they were very close. I was part of the bus travels with lomond travels. Now Im home I cant wait to visit again. Bar staff very welcoming and friendly...well done to all staff for making my trip worth it

Today I went into the Abbey hotel with my partner to have a cup of tea, I asked a member of staff for milk for the tea. He went to the kitchen to get milk and didn't appear back with the milk. Very disappointed. We have been going to the Abbey hotel many years without complaint

About 40 of us arrived to the hotel for the Micheal English dancing weekend. And what a hotel. The chorizo chicken pasta is amazing. The bouncers were very friendly. One downfall the heat in the place when it was a full house. But overall a fantastic weekend.

Great hotel central to all pubs and places to eat. We had a triple room 1 double & 2 single beds room is big and a nice toilet only complaint the shower pressure is not the best. But everything else was spot on.

Posh. Reminds me of an early 1900s Titanic era hotel with all of the decor. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but this hotel is certainly a lot bigger than you think it is and conveniently located in the middle of town and next to various restaurants/ shops. (Interesting that it is literally in the middle of town and blending into the buildings around it). Beds were a little uncomfy (and no washcloths what??). We ate in the bar one night (noticed that not many others were). The wait was a little longer than usual. My dad ordered the sliced beef sandwich (a generous portion) and I the seafood chowder. Filled with mussels, shrimp, huge hunks of fish, and Calamari (the broth maybe a little too much for a sensitive stomach). A bang for your buck at 8€ . Next, our tour group was treated to a private concert in the banquet hall by the Elders. A breakfast buffet was provided for us overlooking the River Eske- a generous portion of eggs, tomato, beans, sausage, porridge, yogurt, bacon, and croissants. Our dinner the first night was also provided banquet-style. Bread, bbq chicken goujon with a pesto salad, cod over a white wine sauce and potatoes, veggies, and a lemon cheesecake sampler. Great efficient staff. (The free wifi is also great to keep in touch with the states)

Charming hotel in the heart of town. Furnishings were slightly dated, but everything was clean and tidy.... and you can't beat the location! Staff were friendly and accommodating.

We stayed here in early May, 2018 for one night. Reception was gracious and helpful. We went up to our room and it had a funny smell, reminiscent of exterminator spray (spraying for insects or rodents?) We went back downstairs and were given keys for 3 other rooms and all smelled funny to varying degrees. We ended up taking the first room and got used to the smell. There is no parking for the hotel but they recommend that you park in the public lot down the street and they sell you a 1 pound parking token which saves you maybe another half-a-pound (as I recall the regular 24 hour parking is 1.5 pounds.) It was odd that they asked us to request a dining table in the somewhat separate restaurant at the reception counter. So, we did, and reception asked "When?" I answered "right now" and got a funny look. But, when we walked into the restaurant, we were the ONLY customers there. The meal was pretty good and we went to bed happy. This hotel is centrally located on the town square and there's tons of shopping right there.
