Guest reviews
Inishowen Gateway Hotel averages 4.5 out of 5 across 1,419 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
A beautiful hotel with amazingly welcoming staff. I can't speak highly enough of them. The rooms were immaculate and modern. Dinner was delicious however breakfast was a wee bit of a let down. Not the best quality of ingredients and the buffet style was not to my liking, but I understand breakfasts cooked to order are not viable in such a big hotel.
Lovely staff. Everyone was so nice, friendly and helpful. Food was OK. Got a bit boring after the 2nd night when it's the same menus. Even though the coach parties had a different and varied menu. Bedrooms are a good size. Beds comfortable. Shower left a bit to be desired. Over the bath. Not very powerful And a pet hate of mine, a shower curtain which always blows in on you and sticks to your wet damp body. WiFi slow Overall a decent 3* hotel.
