Go for Linda. She's the most charming woman around. A lovely fireplace, easy access to town -- just a wonderful way to spend your nights in the charming little city up North!

Cant tell you how nice this place is, The owner is lovely and very helpful. The hostel is a 5 minute walk from the town which is really handy. The place is clean as well. I would recommend this hostel and stay here again. Ive stayed in lots of hostels and while this one is quiet its up with the best.

After reading the reviews I was expecting something amazing! But for the price it was quite good. The staff were very friendly and the place was very clean. Was not mad about our room (ensuite) .There was no window and it had a strange smell and felt damp as well. But the room was very big and the shower was good. My only problem was with regard to the internet. I specifically wanted wifi which they said was available in the rooms. It was not. Available in sitting room. Please be accurate.

No frills here but nice place to stay for the money. The owner is very nice and welcoming! It was a little farther from town than we were hoping but was only a quick 10-15 minute walk from center city.

We had a brilliant time in Donegal. The hostel is pretty close to the town center and it is a lovely place to stay in. The staff was really, really nice and we felt absolutely secure at all times. I will definitely come again! The room was quite big and the bathroom very clean! There isn't really anything bad to say! Thanks for the great time!
