This hotel would be difficult to navigate if you require mobility assistance. Stairs everywhere. No AC. I brought Small fan. Do not know if fans are available for the room. Rooms were clean. No washcloths. Requested extra hand towel for washing. The pub had live music the night we were there. Cute downtown area. Right in the middle. The view of the water was beautiful. Self parking in paid city parking. Does have an indoor pool and workout room.

Staff was very helpful. The location is excellent...right in the city 'diamond'. Parking was confusing at first, but is inexpensive and easy once you know what it entails. The fitness facilities are first-rate and a welcome feature while on a trip. Lots of charm in this classic beauty of a property.

Great Stay in the Heart of Donegal We recently stayed at the Central Donegal Hotel and had a really good experience. The location is perfect—right in the center of town and close to everything we wanted to see. The room was comfortable and clean, and while parking wasn’t included, there was a paid lot nearby that made things easy. We opted for the paid buffet breakfast, which was tasty and convenient before heading out for the day. Like many places in Ireland, the room didn’t have air conditioning, but we were able to open the window and get enough ventilation to stay comfortable. Overall, a very pleasant stay. We’d definitely recommend the Central Donegal Hotel to anyone visiting the area.
