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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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
