Great location food very good
Nothing every thing was great
Pleasant stay, right in the heart of Ballyshannon.
Breakfast service was terribly slow. As a single traveller, I felt I got missed. The staff were very busy, so maybe needed an extra body. No WiFi coverage in the room.
Friendly staff. Spotless clean. Big room with comfortable bed that had a top sheet. Definitely will be back.
Nothing
Location, service, clean and spacious room
Tap leaking and no hot water in the morning for shower. Way too expensive for what it is.
Excellent breakfast! Friendly hosts& staff!
Very steep street & steps up from car park.
Hotel very clean Staff so helpful Food fantastic Lovely bar
Excellent Hotel filled to bursting with olde world charm and elegance. Upon arrival we were bowled over by the quality of the reception and furnishings - the bedroom did not disappoint it was large and spacious with plenty of cupboard and wardrobe space - bathroom was also large with good lighting. We had dinner in their magnificent dining room - the furnishings drapes and chandeliers made it a stunning and enjoyable experience. It felt like going back in time when dining was not just a meal but a journey of delight - the meal was delicious and exceptional - service and friendliness of staff made us feel part of the family - the owner Mary made us feel very welcome and unstinting in generosity.with her time. This Hotel is unique in the sense that they have time for everyone and should be rightly proud of their hospitality product - the owner Mary pointed us in the direction of their family pub the Thatch just a short five minute walk from the Hotel. We had a very enjoyable evening listening to traditional.music in this thatched pub in immaculate condition . The breakfast the next morning was excellent with all tastes catered for. All in all I would thoroughly and highly recommend a stay in this Hotel dating back to 1781!

Lovely comfortable clean hotel, we arrived earlier than check in time but the lady checked us in no problem, very helpful and staff were very attentive and friendly, very tasty breakfast also! Thanks
Great dining room and really lovely staff.
In the middle of the town so location great. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Breakfast good.
Hotel classico vecchio stile, camere enormi e pulite. Ottima colazione. Zona centrale.
Niente wifi, accettazione alla vecchia maniera con fogli di carta... Prezzo un pò alto.
Very clean
I Had a wonderful happy stay. The people and facilities were excellent. I met with such kindness and friendliness on my visit to Ballyshannon.
Nothing can be improved on. Everything was excellent.
Location was perfect because we wanted to be able to walk around. It offered parking. They have good hairdryers which is a plus for someone with long hair.
This hotel was very well run and staff were very welcoming.
I enjoyed everything

Lovely big room
Very clean and staff well very pleasant and helpful
WiFi not in the rooms had to sit around the reception area
I liked the old fashioned feel of the place and the very personable and helpful staff.
Nothing. Maybe some of the pictures in the dining room could do with a little updating as they were quite faded blue with the sun.
This hotel is lovely. The staff are lovely and the setting was perfect. You could not ask for more.
There was nothing to dislike.
Nice clean old fashioned hotel with friendly staff
The beer and minerals at bar and orange juice in morning were warm fridges must be turned down to lowest so only had 1
Very comfortable. Owners are lovely people. Staff pleasant and courteous. Good value for money. We stay there quite often and will again.
Nothing really to dislike.
We stayed here for one night & although the hotel is old & the furnishings a bit dated it was spotless & beautiful. Bed was comfortable, room was large & staff were very friendly. We had an excellent meal in the bar and breakfast was great. Definitely recommend and a good price.
All good
We came late that night and the man was so helpful. I asked for water and it so no bother to him.
Nothing.
Spacious room, clean spacious bathroom, bath, very friendly family run business, friendly staff, great location, the feel of old world. Very unusual to find individual attention to guests.
Slight too high price, which is now typical in Ireland
love thw nostaligia of this elequent place
Nice food and especially the wonderful fresh breakfast. The owners and staff were wonderful people. Stay at this hotel and I’ll promise you that you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely family run hotel. Staff excellent and eager to please at all times.
Bit pricey to be honest .
Breakfast was really good , and dinning room was well presented
Felt and looked like it stepped out of the 1980’s, everything was tired. No hot water for a shower when I arrived late afternoon. Expensive for what it provides.
Very noisy room to the front traffic ongoing
The rooms are so out dated the shower very dangerous having to step in over a bath serious health and safety toilet kept blocking
Lovely breakfast with all Irish produce
If we had a walk in shower I fell recently and broke my hip.
Very charming, lovely staff.

Lage ist zentral, günstig gelegen. Personal ist sympathisch.
Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Wasserhahn hat durchgängig getropft, sowohl Waschbecken als auch Bad.
I liked everything from start to finish I was very impressed
Nothing as every thing and every one were exceptional
Great location. Spacious and clean rooms. Lovely breakfast with great choice and friendly staff
A little noisy with traffic
Lovely old hotel with beautiful welcome. Ideally located in centre

Located in Bally Shannon
Very tired. Left in the 1980s. No amenities in the room. Wifi in lobby only.
The opulence, history and obvious love the family have for their hotel. Off street parking. The beautiful decor and furnishings. Central location allowing us to walk everywhere.
Great hotel off road parking. Breakfast lovely... Bar has a very friendly feel enjoyed our stay here highly recommend this place
We loved the style of the hotel, the friendliness of the staff and cleanliness of the hotel
It was slightly confusing at night to get in as you have to ring a bell but nothing other than this! Even with this they answered very quickly but it would be nice to know
Shower was fantsatic - great water pressure. Breakfast was excellent and bonus was we were able to join a Saturday night live Irish music show that was being hosted in the pub up the road that the hotel owns.
Husband reckons bed was too small and prefers doonas/quilts to sheets and blankets
Staff are lovely; food is excellent great facilities I would definitely stay here again.
Everything was brilliant.
Beautifully located in the heart of Ballyshannon, this classic and elegant inn was a delight to be in. The owners were charming and gracious and made us feel we had at home and comfortable. The staff were friendly and efficient. Best pub in Ballyshannon and the food was fantastic!!
I honestly cannot think of anything.
Old world charm. Staff and owners welcoming, friendly, helpful but not intrusive. Spotless and food really good, fresh and cooked to order. Great location to attend events in Abbey centre.
Keys a wee bit difficult to work but that goes with the older hotels that we like most.
Everything. Very comfortable..room was fab..staff so friendly..breakfast was excellent...best coffee I ever got anywhere
Liked everything
Lovely period hotel
Traditional full Irish breakfast freshly prepared, but with healthy options of good quality fruit and cereal and wholemeal bread too.
WiFi could have been better, but as a plus, it stopped people from being on their phones all the time.
Overnight stay, very close and convenient to where I needed to be.
Smaller breakfast than expected.
It’s was warm, comfortable, lovely dinner and breakfast very good. Staff were extremely friendly. Bar staff were quick serving, reception lady has big smile and restaurant staff were all so nice and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable.
Not the most modern hotel that wasn’t important. I have no complaints or dislikes about this hotel.
Great location and plenty of parking. Reception and bar staff very welcoming and friendly.
There was quite a bit of dust on the furniture in the bedroom. The curtains and general decor is quite dated and the beds are on the small side.
Great, Nice to get table service at breakfast time...made a nice change.
It was perfect for what I needed, so I won't be complaining.
Nice Comfortable hotel, Friendly staff and nice breakfast. Lovely Coffee
Everything was satisfactory for the cost
