Location is incredible. Not much around the hotel and a taxi into Donegal is €40 each way. But the hotel itself is clean, staff are some of thw best iv ever witnessed.

No fridge , shaving mirror, no safe.
Beautiful older hotel located directly on the beach. Hotel room was of good size and beds were very comfortable. Can’t say enough about the location of the hotel. Hotel excellent for couples get away. Ate dinner at restaurant which was delicious. Beautiful views of sunset while dining.
Honestly there was very little to dislike. One negative is we had a very early check in and there were no breakfast options nearby. Hotel is older however well maintained.
The beautiful sea front is really beautiful. Rooms are big and confortable.Lovely breakfast and delicious food served on their restaurant.
When looking more attentively you can definitely see it needs better maintenance. A 4* hotel with plastic shower curtain, on a rusty pole on the toilet doesn't really suit. No smart tv with streaming services, no fridge.What they advertise doesnt match reality.
Everything location staff rooms bar restaurant. Breakfast was amazing
Stay was too short
Room, beach very close, lovely place to stay, staff amazing and helpful
Missed vegetarian food
Paying really for the view, breakfast and dinner were excellent as were all the staff
Hotel was tired, would not have called it luxurious. Bedroom furniture old and mismatched ,coffee/tea rings and water stains on bedside tables.Limescale stains on taps and shower head in bathroom, shower head need fixing. If luxurious then there should have been a cable duct over the wires going up the wall to the tv. No water in the room and no little biscuits with the tea making facilities. Wall beneath the window needed painted, marks on the wall.. had the wow factor with the view but that was all.
The breakfast looking over the sea with bread basket. All meals gorgeous at night too. Bedrooms comfy and spacious looking over Rossnowlagh Beach. A beautiful stay and will visit again soon!
The location was hard to get to but incredible upon arrival. Literally on the beach!
The lights were too low for reading at night
The location! It was gorgeous. The staff was incredibly accommodating and pleasant. The rooms were spacious and we'll appointed. The food was great.
