Short Break
Our two night stay was very enjoyable overall apart from initial room having a joining door to room next door. When we explained that we didn’t like that, we were given a much nicer room without an adjoining door - it would have been better if this had been sorted at booking.

Friendly welcome from reception and breakfast staff. Hotel was very noisy as I think there was a stag party or sporting event so we didnt sleep too well. Overall was a nice visit to a seaside resort in low season. Close to the beach.

Lovely hotel
One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in Ireland. Clean, fresh rooms. Very tasty seafood in the restaurant both dinner and breakfast and good selection for gluten free and lactose intolerant. Dungloe is a sweet little town with good choice of shops. Lovely coastline and sunsets

The staff was very, very good. We had a late check-in and the receptionist called us while still in transit and asked if we wanted the Dining Room to stay open. At our early AM check-out, it was before breakfast was open. They opened early for us for a continental breakfast and then served eggs, sausages, etc. In this era, INCREDIBLE service. We highly recommend the Waterfront!!!

Hotel and staff were lovely. Unfortunately following an event in the hotel, there was a party in an adjoining room and due to the noise it was impossible to sleep. We were unable to contact reception so we had to leave the hotel at 05.00 in the morning.

A hidden gem
Lovely time, staff in the bar/restaurant were very friendly and helpful. Really nice food . The room was very nice and very well finished and had everything you could need. The only two things was the lady on reception at check out on Monday morning wasn’t as pleasant or friendly as the other members of staff. Also the outside of the hotel lets its down, its a hidden gem inside but you would drive past it . We would stay here again if in the area

Bathroom Odor
The staff was kind and the service was great, however, the bathroom had a very strong odor of mold/mildew. We changed rooms and the second room (still second floor) smelled the same - to a point where we kept the door shut and used it when/as needed.
We travel frequently and have never experienced such a horrible odor. Would not return/recommend as a result.

Rooms nice but lack of cleaning. Spiders and ants in first room given after changing rooms the floors not cleaned. Windows and patio doors need a good clean or updated. Short staffed at dinner time not good.
