Mcgettigans is a lovely Hotel in the Centre of Letterkenny.The hotel is very clean,the staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are comfortable and clean.The breakfast here is great .We will definately come back here . I would highly recommend this hotel.
We came for my husband’s birthday with our one year old son. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were brilliant. My son has wheat allergies and the chef serving breakfast noticed me pick up a GF cereal for him, and then offered other GF items including bread and sausages. The next morning when we came down for breakfast, as soon as she saw us she went and made him some more sausages! It was the nicest hotel breakfast we have had in ages. My husband who doesn’t usually eat or enjoy breakfast particularly loved it. The hotel and rooms were lovely, and the restaurant attached to hotel served delicious food and also catered to his milk and wheat allergies! The beds in the rooms were also super comfortable. We would usually have a different go to hotel in Letterkenny, but this is definitely our new hotel now!
Close to local bus station 5 minute walk. Bed and pillows were the most comfortable, in fact Im going to contact the hotel and ask where i can buy the pillows. Free wifi and the restaurant food was fab.
Just a shame there was a fire alarm when we were in bed being a false alert
Glad the alarms work though
Room was lovely warm and comfy
Very clean
Staff very welcoming and friendly
Will definitely come back
Excellent hotel with friendly staff. Check in was 3 p.m but our room was available from 1. Spacious room, really clean and comfortable with the added bonus of air con which was brilliant with the weather being so hot. Would highly recommend staying here, right in town so you can walk just about anywhere
Really comfortable beds, rooms were quite spacious and clean although the furniture was a bit dated and scratched. Food in the restaurant was good, lots of choice and staff were very friendly. Would definitely stay again.

Great Location .. Friendly Welcome At Reception & Food in Hotel was Good with Steak Nite on Thursdays & Good Entertainment Too ..Beds Very Comfortable & Rooms Bright & Modern
Our hotel room was gorgeous, big comfy bed, lovely sofa in the room. Very spacious and clean. Shower was amazing. Staff were lovely. Left our do not disturb sign on door and the housekeeping still left us clean towels and toilet roll etc. car parking on first day was very busy, had to park on nearby street but was able to get one early the next day - most likely due to summer sessions on in town.
Staff were very helpful. Would definitely stay in this hotel again, great location!
Room was very tired looking, bits of trim had fallen off, a ceiling panel looked as if it could fall, missing remote control in bedroom and TV could not be used and then very noisey plumbing , was woken by rattling pipes at 5.30am when mentioned it at check out I was informed that maintenance would be asked to check look into it, I would not recommend a say here
Room was not ready we went away came back in an hour and it was still not ready they wanted us to wait longer for the room. also the dinning area for breakfast does not look great. Very old fashioned rough around the edges and needs to be modernized. the breakfast buffet looked like something from the 70's
