The Central Hotel Donegal

Booked the restaurant but ended up in the day cafe part, maybe as overflow as they were busy? It was evening and it was too bright and loud and felt a bit run down. The food was not great, in fact it barely reached average. I had a stir fry that was just tasteless tbh. Real reason though for the review is purely for the amazing staff. If you need good staff this is where you should poach them from. We had 3 men serve our table. A young man, an older man and another in a suit I assume was a manager. They really were amazing . Incredibly efficient, courteous and knowledgeable. 1 spotted me cleaning up a small mess I had made on my table with noodles and came to do it telling me he would do it and I should just enjoy my meal. I didnt spot a name badge on the younger man or manager. The main waiter did, but I didn't write it down, it was an eastern European name, Ivan, igor something like that. I hope he recognises himself in the review and managers take note. Service was brilliant but felt with being so busy food quality slipped.

Just spent a fabulous 4 days at this delightful hotel. We had a bay view room with stunning views over the bay. The room was spotless with really classy decor fitting for a hotel of this period. We really enjoyed the food that we had during our stay. The location was perfect for all of Donegal's sights... the castle, the riverbank walk, the traditional Irish shops and charming craft village. With all this said the very best aspect of our stay were the staff...incredibly polite and friendly always checking in with you to make sure all was okay. Breda the manager was brilliant, so helpful and knowledgeable advising on places to visit and places eat if you wanted to venture outside the hotel for food.

This hotel is a good one in town! We stayed for one night, and the experience was delightful. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making our stay truly enjoyable. The room was spotless, and the breakfast was fantastic, offering a wide variety of delicious options. Highly recommend this place for a comfortable and pleasant stay!

We are a tour company Milliken Tours Ireland & we use the Central Hotel in Donegal town quite alot. |It is a very comfortable hotel with good food and outstanding helpful staff, especially Eilish in reception. We have been there at times when the hotel has been exceptionally busy, however Eilish has dealt with the queue of customers in a friendly professional manner, giving each person her undivided attention. |The Hotel has a swimming pool, jacuzzi & steam room.|Thank you Central Hotel.

We had a really fantastic stay here. The room we were assigned was massive and had a stunning view of the bay. The staff were all lovely and very accommodating. There was entertainment every night we stayed which was a unexpected bonus. Can’t wait to stay again!

Spent 5 nights at this place recently and really nothing to complain about. Super comfy, clean rooms, and good value for money. Nice view of the harbour and all the girls on the front desk were great. Would come again for sure.
