Great Staff and Friendly Atmosphere.
Arrived earlier than expected and we were greeted by friendly cheerful staff who checked to see if our room was ready. To our delight the room was ready and we were able to check in. All the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.The beds were great with really good mattresses.The continental breakfast was plentiful and really set us up for our journey home.The rooms are a bit outdated but they are clean and spacious and well worth the money paid. If you didnt bring your car there is a bus station and a taxi service located a short walk from the hotel which can be a real bonus at times. We thoroughly enjoyed are stay at The Donard Hotel and would definitely return.
Only small teeny weeny thing that only effected the male sex! The toilet seat did not stay up when needed, but sorted it with a piece of folded toilet paper jammed to keep it up, so no problem. the staff were brilliant and the continental breakfast was great. Nice quiet bedroom and comfy bed. We'll be back. Many thanks Donard staff.
I had a great stay. My room was huge with beautiful views! The staff were friendly and very helpful. Also the location is perfect amd convenient for walking everywhere.
Excellent stay. Excellent rooms, well worth the money. Very central.

The Donard was such a wonderful stay. The room was a little dated compared to our other recent stays in Ireland, but the staff's friendliness and helpfulness made us feel so at home. We really loved the concierge staff and the warm and friendly Irish way of making us comfortable. The continental breakfast was a great start to the day. We would definitely book again!
The room was great with a large bathroom and a comfortable bed. The hotel itself was beautiful, great location, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious
Its very well located and surprisingly quiet once your in the rooms the staff we dealt with kevin and Katie were very friendly and onliging kevin offered to help us with our luggage on two occasions the bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water in the bathroom the continental breakfast was good and its complimentary it has something for everyone a selection of cereals ,breads ,pastries and fruit etc
