Lovely functional room with a large bed.
Small bathroom.
Room had no suitcases stands so everything was on the floor, no dressing table to put toiletries etc on and it was a little dark.
Good location near the town and a

Ideally placed for visit to Donegal
Easy to park and short walk into town. Great breakfast if you want it. Some minor maintenance issues need sorting.
Would stay here again.

Bored receptionist who couldn’t be less interested in guests if she tried. We said we would pay for breakfast separately but despite this we were charged for three full Irish. When we questioned this we were told it was all the same. Won’t be back!

Amazing breakfast, well worth the extra $$$. Good location for accessing town centre. Only down side is the hot water in the shower could be hotter. Highly recommend staying there.

Annie at reception was amazing. Outstanding personality. Breakfast was superb and the staff were excellent. Great location. Nice to have free convenient parking. Only things I wish they included was bottled water, conditioner and body lotion.

We stayed at the Gateway Lodge in Donegal during our travels in Ireland. The onsite parking was convenient and easily accessible. Hotel is just a short walk to town with several dinner options. We ate at The Olde Castle Bar - seafood was fantastic! Donegal castle is just a few min walk from the hotel!
