Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.

Highly recommended
The Donard Hotel in Newcastle fitted our needs for an overnight stay exactly - a centrally located hotel with good sized rooms, a very comfortable bed and very friendly and helpful staff. The team worked well together but a special shoutout to Kevin who went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The town of Newcastle is an attractive seaside town but also an excellent starting point to climb Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland's highest mountain, which was the reason for our stay here. I am pleased to say we achieved our objective and rewarded ourselves with large ice cream sundaes from Morelli's wonderful establishment on the seafront.
