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

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

Staff were excellent and friendly in all parts of the Hotel. I also liked the discipline shown to combat the virus. Whilst the dinner menu was shallow and repetitive the food served was excellent. I would stay at this Hotel again.

Relaxing stay in Dungloe
The room was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The included breakfast was great. We ate at the hotel restaurant both evenings that we were there and we were not disappointed. The restaurant seemed to be popular with the locals as well. The really enjoyed the views from the hotel.

Great place to stay
Super Hotel with great views across the water. Well named. Lovely sit-out area at the front. The bedroom was very comfortable with a window that could be opened if desired. A wonderful good size tv was secured to the wall with super crisp reception, colour and choice of stations, including radio, which I always avail of when away. The food was delicious and the fresh fruit salad on the first morning was superb. The second morning did not live up to standard as there was an absence of strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry that it contained the previous day (a large amount of apple was included on the second day). All in, a most enjoyable experience and the staff were fantastic....

Stayed in the O’Leary Suite and had a fantastic time, great location, staff where excellent. GM provided 2 free drinks and the bartender helped us order breakfast room service for the next morning. Staff couldn’t do enough for us even offering to drop us the town which was only a short walk from the hotel. Very pleased with our stay 5*****s

Had a most enjoyable short stay at this modern comfortable hotel. Friendly ,efficient welcoming staff. Room and bathroom spotless and comfortable bed. Food scrumptious .. ... Only 1 small suggestion ..the bathroom shelf and soap dispenser could be lowered to facilitate those of smaller stature like myself..The Waterfront Hotel Dungloe is our new Favourite Place

The hotel rooms are very modern, clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and we're extremely helpful as well as enjoying the craic. With the poor weather a pool would have been good but that will be there next year, but it meant we got a walk into the town. The food is beautiful in the bistro. Well worth a visit
