Donard Hotel in Down

What a great find ,from the moment we walked through the door we were welcomed by Natasha who couldn't enough for us, The rooms were lovely ,in the morning the breakfast was lovely continental breakfast ,one of the staff was asking us about our plans for the day ,and went and checked the websites to see what time opening was Everything you'd expect from a family run hotel and more

A wee mid week break just perfect. Comfortable rooms and great beds.staff were so friendly and manager Kevin couldn't do enough. Continental breakfast totally adequate. Will definitely return Heather and Mary

Great location and friendly staff. Had the most comfortable sleep here

Very affordable hotel.Clean, comfortable room. Continental breakfast. Saturday evening we stayed. Big party was in the pub. They supply earplugs if you need or just enjoy the party yourself.

Great location. Clean and comfortable beds. Friendly staff. I hope I get to visit again and when I do, this is the place. Very convenient.

Couldn't fault it, lovely hotel in a great location, staff were very helpful and attentive

Staff were lovely. Would 100% recommend for anybody visiting the area

This is a wonderful locally owned hotel and I would absolutely recommend staying here. It is not luxury but you couldn't ask for nicer people and a more comfortable stay. It is right in the center, close to the intercity bus station, and nearby to food and drink. Also, hikes are an easy walk from the front door.

I would love to give this hotel better reviews but as it failed to provide the one thing you want from a hotel, a place to sleep in, I can't give more stars. The only thing that is stopping me from giving one star is the service. Everyone in this hotel was super friendly and very welcoming but unfortunately the noise insulation is so poor in this hotel that we could only sleep when there was no traffic outside the window and when the bar was closed. And since the hotel is very centrally located and on a busy street there is constantly noise outside and hence we barely slept. The hotel in itself was very charming, even if somewhat outdated, but that didn't bother us. But as also the restaurant was closed down the hotel felt a bit tired and sad. The continental breakfast wasn't even really that, I've never seen a continental breakfast that basic, so we ended up eating our breakfast elsewhere. I'd love to see this hotel thrive but unfortunately I cannot see that happening until something has been done to the poor sound insulation that will definitely make more and more guests stay somewhere else.

A beautiful stay in the Donard Hotel. All staff so friendly and welcoming. They even provided dog bowls for my wee dog and a comfy dog bed. Breakfast continental was nice, would have liked ham and cheese with it, however a wonderful stay and would definitely return 😋 👌

Great music and the best pizza. Lovely staff too.
