Clean bedroom and ensuite, beds comfortable great nights sleep, staff friendly and helpful
Emma
This is our go to hotel when we visit Newcastle a couple of times a year. All the staff are lovely and friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely and the beds are so comfortable. There is a choice of breakfast but we always have the buffet, which is included in the price, as we dont really like a fry in the morning.
Cant wait to go back!

Jeff
Staff were beyond friendly and accommodating. A little noisy when the pubs let as it’s on the Main Street, but great location.
Patrick
Exceptionally great value for a busy seaside town such as Newcastle. Check-in staff was excellent as were the rest of the staff we met. The continental breakfast was absolutely adequate and free, so great value. Room facilities were adequate as well and the bathroom was great with plenty of hot water and shower get, shampoo etc.. Great location, free parking right outside and nearby. Highlight was The Donard being so dog friendly and dog welcoming. Definitely now my place of choice to stay when we visit Newcastle.
steven
Lovely hotel in the middle of Newcastle handy for whatever your plans
Donna
Staff at the hotel were excellent, nothing was too much trouble.Stayed in triple hotel room, while the view was disappointing the room was fine. Bed’s comfortable and comfortable old definitely stay again.
Michelle
Couldnt have got a better room room 201 lovely views of the town and mountains just wish had more than a night to stay... did not sample food so cant comment on that... small critique the windows on outside could be cleaned other than that perfect bed was comfortable as well
Shirley
Great
Stephen
Absolutely excellent service, room, and staff!! Recommended. Will be back
Martin
One lovely night away.
Stayed just for 1 night having stayed the same time last year. Staff were superb, friendly and welcoming, they acknowledged they remembered us! We noticed the small touches like the amenity kit in the room containing toothpaste, razor etc etc - just about anything you'd have forgotten! Lovely big bed, everything felt clean and loved in what's clearly an older property. Breakfast was continental, seems more choice with mini pastries added alongside cereals, breads for toasting, fruit, yoghurt, tea, coffee and a pot brought to our table - it's possible to upgrade to a fry. Only issue we encountered wasn't the hotels fault - lots of noise from cars revving on the road and the pub downstairs - wasn't the easiest to sleep with a front facing room, but once we did we did well! A shout of thanks for calling me promptly to say I'd left my jacket!
William
The Donard is an older property that is well positioned on the main road in Newcastle. Very friendly and nice staff makes up for the older rooms that are not air conditioned and a bit noisy due to the cars, trucks and motorcycles going by on the road.
Susan
Easy walk to the seafront & local shops & restaurants
Lovely breakfast in spacious dining room.
Glad to have a King bed
Great base for our Game of Thrones Tollymore forest walk.

Great stay at the donard. Excellent facilties and a professional and courteous staff. Fantastic games room which my children really enjoyed. Room exceeded expectations. Will definitely return.
Lisa
Overnight stay
The room was spotless and the staff were welcoming and helpful. There was a complimentary continental breakfast which was nice. The decor could probably do with updating, but this didn’t really affect my stay. This was a lovely hotel at a good price.
Jennifer
Excellent
First time I stayed and staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Great room and very clean, and hotel also in great location. Overall highly recommend
CHRISTINE
Great Staff and Friendly Atmosphere.
Arrived earlier than expected and we were greeted by friendly cheerful staff who checked to see if our room was ready. To our delight the room was ready and we were able to check in. All the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.The beds were great with really good mattresses.The continental breakfast was plentiful and really set us up for our journey home.The rooms are a bit outdated but they are clean and spacious and well worth the money paid. If you didnt bring your car there is a bus station and a taxi service located a short walk from the hotel which can be a real bonus at times. We thoroughly enjoyed are stay at The Donard Hotel and would definitely return.

ALAN
Great value for money.
Only small teeny weeny thing that only effected the male sex! The toilet seat did not stay up when needed, but sorted it with a piece of folded toilet paper jammed to keep it up, so no problem. the staff were brilliant and the continental breakfast was great. Nice quiet bedroom and comfy bed. We'll be back. Many thanks Donard staff.

Christopher
The Donard was such a wonderful stay. The room was a little dated compared to our other recent stays in Ireland, but the staff's friendliness and helpfulness made us feel so at home. We really loved the concierge staff and the warm and friendly Irish way of making us comfortable. The continental breakfast was a great start to the day. We would definitely book again!

Gayle
Whilst the staff were excellent and the main areas and breakfast were pleasant, the room was disappointing and not as expected based on the website photos. We were shown bright, modern and airy rooms online but we were given a dated and dark one instead. The views outside are of flat roofs with dead plants and a broken aerial. Our bathroom had an avocado green suite with very old fixtures. It was very clean but came across as dingy. We slept well and the beds were comfortable. However, I would not have booked if the online content had been completely honest. It didn't feel like a treat. Tonight we are in a different guest house along the coast in Warrenpoint, at a similar price. It is head and shoulders above the Donard with a balcony and sea view. Sorry, I am just being honest. I feel bad because the staff were lovely.
alwyn
Great hotel will definitely stay again
Cakers
We loved the room size and staying at front of hotel was fab. Dog loved his stay too! Staff very good, very helpful & friendly. We will definitely stay again, very reasonably priced too and we got continental breakfast free of charge! Joanne 💜
