Pulitissimo dappertutto, letti finalmente comodissimi, e con una super colazione self service. Piena privacy e super gentilezza del personale incontrato che ci ha consigliato un evento che altrimenti avremmo perso.
Breakfast is help yourself even though staff is there to help you if needed. Loads of cereals,fruit,bread,eggs,pancakes and yogurts,tea coffee milk etc. they had gluten free stuff as well which was great as one of the girls is celiac so that was added bonus.
Didn't have Separate toaster for celiac only thing
Excellent accomodation and service, great host (Thomas). Comfortable room and plentiful choices for breakfast.
Availability of spaces for street parking outside.
Very large rooms so lots of space to spread out with a decent sized ensuite. Easy to get free parking on the street outside. We were given a code to get into reception but didn't need it as one of the owners was waiting to great guests at check in time. He give us good suggestions for pubs and dinner. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet which had good choices, though people did get under each other's feet a bit. Ardara is a very friendly town.
Our room only had a small window opening onto a narrow alleyway, which appreciate was the building design.
Really welcoming host. Spotlessly clean. Really comfortable room. Great bathroom and shower..Superb.Great breakfast selection. We will be back.
There was nothing we didn't like. It was fabulous.
Very central and clean - fantastic range of breakfast items . Bed was very comfortable
Such a beautiful hotel, on the main street and walking distance. Rooms are spacious and exceptionally luxurious. Very comfortable. The kitchen and dining areas are well equipped with plenty of choice and lots of space, including large screen TV for entertainment. Laura & Co were very friendly,helpful and sociable taking time for a chat. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.
Nicely finished upmarket guesthouse. Room was very comfortable and modern bathroom. Breakfast is continental, no hot items, but ok.
Room unfortunately overlooks nothing. Nothing else.
Mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet. Super sauber, es fehlt an nichts, der Kühlschrank ist gefüllt, man kann sich bedienen - außergewöhnlich! Das Selfservice Frühstück war auch sehr lecker - man kam sich vor, wie daheim
Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln - wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt
Everything was excellent, and hosts were so welcoming and helpful.
Beautiful accommodation! Had everything we needed! The self service breakfast was a lovely touch! We really enjoyed our stay
Nothing. Everything was great!

Very clean and comfortable. Host very accommodating. Lovely snacks/coffee and continental breakfast
We liked the layout of the building, which provided for snacks and coffee/teas on the first floor, where our room was. The main dining room was downstairs, with an excellent choice of plentiful food, in an unusual layout. The hosts were there to greet us and to look after us in the morning. The rooms were comfortable and to a high standard. It was great to see the building, which was a supermarket and fell into disuse, being re-used and renovated, bringing life back to the main street of Ardara. It was an excellent case study of adaptive re-use of a building which could have been derelict. The owners deserve great support for their work.
Because of the re-use, there were a few quirks, but these did not in any way take away from the positive experience.
Hotel molto confortevole e curato nel centro dell’incantevole paese di Ardara. L’ambiente è distinto, pulitissimo, e il personale molto socievole e disponibile a fornire informazioni e suggerimenti utili per i turisti. Colazione self service ovviamente abbondante. Una sala comune con tavoli di cristallo, divani, televisori e anche tanti libri da leggere. Un hotel eccellente
Lovely comfortable room and bathroom. Excellent self-serve continental breakfast with great gluten free options available for Coeliacs (bread, cereals as well as yoghurts, fruits, eggs etc)
We were in a lovely ground floor room, no complaints on comfort but I did wake to the sound of people going for breakfast in the early morn. I am a light sleeper! It wouldn't stop me staying here again.
Fantastic clean value for money
Modern great location
Ideally located on main street, so you could walk to pubs and restaurants. Very clean, recently renovated. Really friendly staff, with lots of advice where to visit in the area.
No storage for suitcase in the room, just a few hangers on the wall.
La struttura è pulitissima, sembra nuova! La modalità di colazione Self service è geniale. Super consigliato
Nulla
The place was spotless and very comfortable., check in was easy , efficient and Laura was extremely friendly. The kitchen area for tea/coffee and selfservice breakfast was immaculate and well stocked. Very close to a shop and a few places to eat and drink. Would highly recommend.
Friendly staff, pool with great views, great breakfast, rooftop bar. Check out was at 12 which is great. Our flight was at 7pm and the hotel let us have a shower in the spa after checking out which was particularly welcome. It meant that we didn’t have to board the plane for our long haul flight sweaty! Thank you
We received a warm welcome by the owner Anne and shown around this spotless modern well maintained property The kitchen/dining facilities were excellent Our large room was bright spotless and beautifully decorated the beds were so comfortable we had a peaceful sleep and a fantastic shower The kitchen is self service with ample continental breakfast of fruit yoghurt cereals juices etc ideal for us I also observed gluten free cereals were avaliable and there was a little machine for anyone wanting a boiled egg or 2
Nothing - everything was above our expectations highly recommended
Alojamiento centrico, antes era un supermercado y se ha transformado en un bonito bed and breakfast, el desayuno es self service
En el desayuno no habia casi nada caliente
Struttura eccezionale. Colazione super.
Nos encantó todo del alojamiento, las habitación muy bonitas y limpias
Zeer gastvrij, fijne schone grote kamers. Eigenaren zijn super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ardera is een heel fijn dorp en deze accommodatie ligt er midden in.
Niets
Wunderschön, mit viel Hingabe gestaltete Unterkunft. Von außen wie innen wirkt die Lodge sehr schön. Frühstück muss sich selbst zubereitet/ genommen werden. Dafür gibt es große Kühlschrank und Ablagen mit allem, wirklich allem, was man benötigt. Tolle Auswahl - viel Früchte, Joghurt, Saft…..Eier… Müsli, Flakes usw. Der Besitzer ist unglaublich nett, gibt tolle Tipps. Mindestens zwei Nächte bleiben- der Ort und die ganze Umgebung lohnen sich. Toller Strand, Wasserfall… gleich in der Nähe.
Great accommodation, spotlessly clean, great location and owners lovely and friendly and helpful. Highly recommend,

A pristine place! Soooo comfortable! Able to make proper tea or coffee whenever you want!
Hôtel très confortable, cosy, deco superbe, très propre et en plein centre du village. Idéal pour visiter la région qui est superbe. Petit déjeuner parfait aussi, fruits frais très appréciés.
The shower
The description of “deluxe” doesn’t match the cardboard towels, the inclusion of earplugs to ward off noise and the basic breakfast where you serve yourselves fruit, croissants and cereal. We cleaned up after ourselves, filled dishwasher, cleaned table - an expectation as per the host’s notices but a first for us. There is also an ongoing issue with Booking.com where my original booking was cancelled where I paid for two rooms but only used one (Booking. com cancelled the first booking, emailed me that they would refund but despite many “chats” with their ibot, that has not been resolved).
It was excellent! Clean, comfortable & location is great.

Nous avons apprécié l'accueil, le décor, le confort, les équipements et le petit déjeuner avec un choix important de produits Et l'emplacement est très proche des commerces et pubs
Le parking peut être difficile et, la chambre donnant sur la rue, c'est bruyant si on laisse les fenêtres ouvertes
Great location. Confortable beds. Friendly staff. Excellent hot shower. Good breakfast
Everything! Room, cleanliness, attention to detail, bed, shower, location, breakfast, availability of coffee and tea around the clock, helpful and communicative owners
Can think of nothing
La chambre et la situation de l’établissement dans le centre de la ville
Le petit déjeuner, nous n’avions pas eu d’explication
The Lodge certainly exceeded our expectations. Lovely room, Lounge and dining areas. Friendly staff/owner and very clean facilities. We’ll be back

Très propre. Installations neuves. Petit déjeuner complet en self service.
Kühlschrank voll Essen und frischen Früchten fürs Frühstück. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber.
super eingerichtetes B&B, alles vorhanden, was man braucht, in der Küche und an der Bar steht alles zur freien Verfügung, was man braucht, ohne an Zeiten gebunden zu sein
Self service breakfast was superb with so much choice. Although wouldn’t suit anyone wanting a cooked breakfast. Comfortable room and en suite bathroom. Hosts lovely people and very helpful.
Only one concern: the air freshener in the room was a little too powerful!
Stanza ampia, moderna, arredata bene e completa di tutto. Letti comodi e con piumini di qualità. Riscaldamento attivabile in autonomia. Bagno nuovi con grande doccia e soffione. Prodotti da bagno di qualità. Parcheggio sulla strada davanti all'hotel e in caso di assenza, ampio parcheggio a pochi passi vicino al cimitero. Colazione fantastica: self-made, grande cucina dotata di ogni ingrediente dolce e salato, attrezzature nuovissime per ogni tipo di colazione. Grande spazio dedicato alla colazione.
È stato tutto più che perfetto!
Excellent location. Super comfy bed and I loved the self service option. Best to go on the early side of breakfast as it can get busy people in and out of fridge and waiting at toaster and coffee machine.

*Atlantic Lodge, Ardara – Review* I had an excellent stay at Atlantic Lodge in Ardara and would happily go back. The accommodation was spotless from the moment we arrived. The rooms are big, with comfortable beds and plenty of storage, so it never felt cramped. Everything was clean, modern, and well-maintained. Facilities are great too — everything you need is provided and it all works well. It’s clear they take pride in keeping the place in top condition. The location is a huge plus. Right in the heart of the town, you’re just a short walk from pubs, restaurants, shops, and the famous Ardara tweed stores. Perfect for exploring without needing the car. Friendly service, big clean rooms, and a central base for Donegal. Atlantic Lodge offers excellent value and a really comfortable stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ardara.
Nothing .Can't fault it Staff friendly and helpful.Would definitely recommend to others to try First Time
Top Lage. Mehrere Pubs nebenan, auch Musik! 🏍️Parkplätze hinter verschlossener Türe. Individuelles Frühstück selbst zusammenstellen, etwas zeitaufwändig, aber gut.
Kein Fenster/Licht im Frühstücksraum; nachts etwas (!) laut von der Straße. Ohrenstöpsel liegen bereit.
Anne was a wonderful host ! The hotel was very clean and aesthetically pleasing Good set up with breakfast and coffee/tea etc Breakfast was great Location was good
Parking was on street which was not ideal but ok We were at the front of the hotel and so had traffic noise very early morning which did wake us up unfortunately, the front room needs some secondary glazing/soundproofing to manage this , this was the only reason we did not give it 10/10 as it was a great place
Handy location for beaches and areas to visit
Limited parking. Very small bed. Noisy in morning. Busy in communal kitchen in morning
Layout of kitchen & rooms excellent
We were in a room beside kitchen and people were in and out of kitchen all night..the light from kitchen area would light up our room everytime someone arrived in that area. Not hosts fault that people were very chatty ect. Maybe need to put seal around bedroom door to block out light..
Brilliant from start to finish. Loved it

Nothing
Everything was great!
The room was clean and they had a fan.
The Hotel is located on the main strip but has no wifi or air conditioning. Staff did not like to be bothered with questions like "what time is breakfast or how do we get in the hotel" even though you had to get a code from them to enter the hotel. We had to contact they via the what's app as no one was there. The noise from the street below was horrendous and unsured no sleep. Hotel does supply ear plugs though, no joke (2) sets on the night stand. Bed was not comfortable and hurt our backs. Upon check in we asked about breakfast and were told it would be in kitchen from 8 to 11, we left at 8:30 and there was no breakfast or staff, we did not see anyone in the hotel our entire stay.
Frühstück, hilfsbereiter Gastgeber
Die Lage war super Bad war in Ordnung Alles sauber Lebensmittel für Kontinentales Frühstück frisch und gut sortiert
Raumduftdefuser waren unerträglich, Schlafraum (und Küche) mit Blick auf Mauer, Aufenthaltsraum ohne Fenster, Alles sehr unpersönlich und digitale Abwicklung
Location on the Main Street. Tea and coffee making facilities were super. Breakfast the next morning was top class. Lovely coffee. Room was super clean and nicely decorated. Host was friendly and full of local knowledge. Highly recommend

zentrale Lage
Durch die Lage an der Hauptstraße war es laut. Der Parkplatz ist öffentlich an der Straße.
Nice large room. Intimate atmosphere. The owners are very fantastic. Warm, welcoming. Just very nice people who you wish all the best. In the middle of the village. Great pubs and eateries.
Very friendly people, very comfortable beds, great breakfest. We enjoyed our stay there.
It was not easy to find a parking spot on the street.
L'emplacement de l hôtel, le petit dej
La salle de petit déjeuner est sombre. Il y avait quelques odeurs d humidité dans la chambre
Our rooms were ready, and we checked in prior to listed checkin time. Staff were friendly and the room was exceptional. We had the continental style breakfast which was great and fitted the bill. Thank you
Great location in the middle of the town. Room was spacious. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was warm. Very good selection for breakfast. Highly recommend staying here.
An excellent place to stay. Great room which was very clean, tidy and modern. Located on main street with easy parking. Breakfast was included and had a great variety to choose from. We would highly recommend this lodge. Staff were very helpful.
Nothing - perfect place
Convenient location. Friendly welcome. Uncooked but great breakfast. Late check out.
