Summary: Good hotel and a great location. Some of our group’s rooms did not have a/c and that was not great. I feel that the decor could use an updating. But service and check in process was solid.
Murtaza Oct 3, 2026 10:40:05 PM
Summary: Rooms outdated. Food ok Not good value for price
Peter Sep 26, 2026 11:19:45 PM
Summary: We enjoyed our stay, staff were lovely but the only thing was that our bath had a layer of scum around it and the bathroom door paint was peeling off.
Sandra Sep 21, 2026 03:40:05 PM
Summary: A beautiful historic hostel with an amazing view. Beds very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. Lovely areas to relax, read a book or enjoy a drink. Spa areas were excellent and not too busy. Would definitely recommend a stay at this beautiful hotel.

Summary: Room was clean, nice bed. Could use a bit more lighting. Breakfast was good. Close to golf course and easy walk into town.

Summary: The Slieve Donald is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful setting and the staff are amazing. We had a beautiful comfortable room with a great view over the sea and mountains. However there were a few issues with the room. The only mirrors in the bedroom were long narrow ones on the wardrobe doors. There were no electrical sockets near these mirrors. The addition of a mirror close to a socket to use a hairdryer would have been appreciated. The bathroom lighting above the wash hand basin is poor, better lighting and/or a magnifying mirror would be a great addition. Breakfast: buffet with good selection of fruits, youghurts, nuts, cheeses, cold meats etc and porridge is also offered. However the cooked section was very disappointing - good selection but bacon so overcooked my husband couldn’t eat it, eggs and fried bread very poor! You have to make your own toast, white bread only offered and it had to be put it through the toaster three times before it was toasted! I would expect a 5* hotel to offer a freshly cooked breakfast made to order. If they could get these few issues sorted I’d be back again in a heartbeat.

Summary: Beautiful hotel in stunning setting! Breakfast and dinner were amazing and room was gorgeous. It was a shame that the TV in the room didn't work. We were told someone would come up and look at it but they never did.
