Simple but clean room. Friendly staff at front desk and cafe. Great location to visit Donegal Castle and the town. Plenty of parking space.
The best part of the hotel is the breakfast at the hotel cafe for a very reasonable price of €12.50/perdon. Best breakfast throughout our entire Ireland trip (see photos).

The room was comfortable and they had convenient parking. The breakfast was lovely.
My only complaint was that the hotel had no air-conditioning, and it was extremely hot in our room to the point where it was challenging to sleep both nights. We asked for another fan on the second night,but we’re advised that the hotel did not have any additional to offer. I would stay there again during cooler months, but not in the summer.

Excellent hotel 5 minutes walk from centre of Donegal town. Plenty parking, welcoming staff, comfortable, clean rooms and the best freshly cooked breakfast you could hope for with super friendly staff. Some rooms accessed from an external walkway motel style which may not be everyone’s choice but it’s still quiet and comfortable. Would certainly stay again.

The lodge is in an excellent location. Parking at lodge was great and free . 5 mins from town, restaurants and bar. The only downside was there was no shelving in room or bathroom to put anything on (clothing) or no place to put toiletries. As well did not provide suitcase rack m (s) so had to use chair to have suitcases open, as stated already no shelving to place things. Also no Kleenex provided. All of this is pretty basic and should not have to live out of a suitcase for three days. If one was just staying overnight, then it would be an ideal place.

Firstly, I read on Expedia that there is a restaurant serving international cuisine. This appealed to me as I am business traveller and need convenience. They stop serving at 5pm. This should be specified
The photos are clever and i thought I was going to a hotel. However it is more like an American style motel. Worse still, they have office style vertical blinds which incredibly have small gaps in so that people can look into your room. I found this unnerving.
The lady offered to change my room but I failed to see what would change as all the rooms have the same blinds.
The mattress is rock hard and I barely slept but that is a subjective opinion and some may like that.
On a positive note the rooms were spotless.
I was really looking forward to my stay but I felt very let down and somewhat hoodwinked by the description on Expedia.

First time at the Gateway

First time in the Gateway, reception was very friendly, check in was easy. room was a good size, chairs and table meant you didn't have to lie on the bed to relax. Bathroom was well equipped. Room was hot even with radiators off. The Gateway was very handy for town centre, 4-5 min walk. The Bistro is excellent, very friendly and helpful staff and nothing was too muvh trouble. Were going to book again for our next break but fully booked at the time we would like. Definitely recommend a stay here. Well done to all the staff.

Too focused on catering events

Too many events scheduled during this time. Although hotel did inform us of this, since my booking was non refundable I felt that I didn’t have much option to stay elsewhere. Had to wait for our rooms to be ready while the locals were given their rooms without any wait. Kids were running up and down the hall banging on doors. Music was playing loudly into the wee hours of the morning.

We stayed here one night while driving the Wild Atlantic Way. We were extremely pleased with our stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. No AC but they did have a fan.Looks to be a newer building. They are in a good location and have a big parking lot. You can walk a few blocks into town to most of the restaurants. The bathroom was new but it was very small and the water pressure wasn't that good. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

This place is a little jem in Donegal town.The room was so cosy and clean.zThe bed was really comfortable and i definitely couldn't fault it. The reception staff were so friendly and I would definitely stay here again.zThe breakfast is definitely worth the money as the restaurant is first class.
