Ideally placed for visit to Donegal

Easy to park and short walk into town. Great breakfast if you want it. Some minor maintenance issues need sorting. Would stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

perfect stay!

The staff at Gateway Lodge is AMAZING, with hospitality to travel-weary guests without sleep for 24 hours above and beyond expectation! They got us settled, and we enjoyed a wonderful late lunch at Blas Cafe, in preparation for a solid night's sleep our first night in Ireland. Appreciated them all more than we could say. Spacious, lovely room and bath were a great welcome and so comfortable,

Small quiet town. Great option for a one night stay.

Great location for a lovely town

This hotel is in a great location. The town of Donegal is quite lovely and very easy to walk in. I was driving throughout Ireland (over 900 miles on the trip), and this hotel was easy to find, had free parking, and was a eight minute walk from the center of the town.

Carolyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was small but big enough. Room and bathroom all seemed nice and new. Plenty of parking. Didn’t try the breakfast so can’t speak to food. Staff very friendly. Only problem was it was like sleeping in a sauna. Hottest hotel room on earth.

David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was simple and spotless, the breakfast was delightful, and the person checking us is was happy and bubbly! The whole stay was a joy! Only thing missing was a face cloth. We learned that many hotels in Ireland don't have face wash clothes, so nothing specific against this hotel. Otherwise, it was perfect!
Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Small rooms
Alana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed here one night while driving the Wild Atlantic Way. We were extremely pleased with our stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. No AC but they did have a fan.Looks to be a newer building. They are in a good location and have a big parking lot. You can walk a few blocks into town to most of the restaurants. The bathroom was new but it was very small and the water pressure wasn't that good. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Amazing Customer Service

My stay was a normal. We were traveling around Ireland. What happened after the stay was amazing. I left my iPad in the room and we were down in Galway. The folks at the hotel found my iPad and helped get it shipped to my upcoming hotel in Dublin. Amazing and the best customer service I have ever had when staying in at a hotel. Period. Thank you for your help.
