Fish and chips was nice and good service. Room was but dated and I had to pay 15 to use spa and closed at 6 which was a little misleading as that’s why I chose to stay outside Letterkenny in first place. This needs to be clearer on websites

Clean, comfortable hotel. Very pleasant stay.
Very comfortable stay, polite staff. I didn't eat dinner in the restaurant, but did have breakfast, which was ok. A good nights sleep and clean room, so I will happily stay again.

Convenient location
A pleasant one-night stay. The hotel is central to the town and there are lovely woodland walks beside the river Finn. Room was adequate. There was no air conditioning and limited ventilation. Bar was very busy. Staff were under pressure but very pleasant. Parking was limited though we did eventually find a space.

A rose amongst the hotel thorns
I arrived late but the receptionist was absolutely lovely. (Blonde haired lady) I got a call on my commute to see if I needed any assistance and to see was I still coming, which was a very nice touch. The leisure centre looked fantastic but sadly I arrived too late to try. Even though it's a bit out I will definitely visit this hotel again.

A must return
Stayed at the Villa Rose for a friends funeral. Staff there couldn’t have been more helpful, the room was beautiful, quiet and very well appointed. Breakfast the next morning was fit for a king. Thanks a million folks, you all made a very sad occasion easier to bear.
