Ideal for a couple of nights as we stayed in Donegal for golf. Perfect location within easy walk of the triangle and couldn't fault anything. Good size rooms, clean & modern and as with most of our experience in Ireland, very friendly.

Lovely inn located very close to the town square. Our room and bathroom were huge. A king sized bed—what a treat in Ireland! The whole place was full of charm. Parking was right out front and free. The breakfast was 12 euro per room—our friends had a full Irish, we just grabbed some coffees.

Located within walking distance of the center of town, the Gateway has nicely updated rooms and bathrooms that are spacious. There a few missing necessities like luggage racks but other than that no real gaps in the property. Breakfast was quite nice with lots of different options. The Gateway lists as a B&B but seems more like a botique hotel.

We stopped in the Gateway for a coffee break whilst out for the day on Bank Holiday Sunday. I'm writing this review purely on the fact that the scones were the best I've tasted in s long time. Crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth softness when you bit into them. We had blueberry and absolutely delicious freshness. Friendly staff, great location. Food looked very tasty. A gem 💎

We stayed at the Gateway Lodge in Donegal during our travels in Ireland. The onsite parking was convenient and easily accessible. Hotel is just a short walk to town with several dinner options. We ate at The Olde Castle Bar - seafood was fantastic! Donegal castle is just a few min walk from the hotel!

Great location for a lovely town This hotel is in a great location. The town of Donegal is quite lovely and very easy to walk in. I was driving throughout Ireland (over 900 miles on the trip), and this hotel was easy to find, had free parking, and was a eight minute walk from the center of the town.
