Myself and my husband and our four year old son stayed in the Great Northern Hotel during the bank holiday weekend. It is the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in and over many years i have visited many hotels both here and abroad. From the moment we stepped inside the door we could feel the warmth of the hotel as it was chilly out and every radiator was piping hot from downstairs to the rooms upstairs.the warmth also radiated from the reception desk with the smiling faces of the girls who greeted us. the entire hotel is child friendly especially the stairs as they are wide and safe. It is like a huge big house and eeryone is treated as part of their family. The decor is old world and so tasteful and the diningroom is breathtaking. We loved the antique style paintings around every corner and the big cosy couches. The food was so delicious especially the duck, my husband is still raving about it.I especially want to commend the young girls and the red haired boy in the diningroom. They were so attentive to our needs especially with a young child.Thank you all so so much.we will be returning again and again please god.

The staff were fantastic and went out of their way to organise a delicious dinner for my vegetarian girlfriend.
The room was lovely. Would definitely stay there again.

Yes we had a lovely relaxing week end in the Great Northern Hotel in Bundoran. There was a great buzz around the place. The temperatures outside were very cold but the hotel was very warm and cosy. The dining room service and food were excellent. We would definately go back again. Perhaps next time we would look for a longer bed as I felt the bed was short!!!!

The hotel is in a great location, decor is extremely dated, the meal was ok the restaurant staff were unfriendly and unprofessional and were more interested in clearing tables than they were serving customers. However reception staff were extremely friendly and willing to help. Rooms were a good size and had good facilities. Breakfast was good. Its definately value for money however it did not fufil the standards of a four star hotel and I would not stay again.

<p>The hotel's 'four star' rating is wildly exaggerrated. Staff were friendly but let down by the dated decor and questionable kitchen. The package was value for money, in that breakfast was included both days and we made good use of the leisure centre (which was nice if not very small). We chose not to eat in the hotel the second night. The cooked breakfast was substantial value for money but really on the salty/reheated side of things and was accompanied by mouldy bread on one of the mornings. The hotel itself would benefit greatly from a fresh lick of paint and a general update in terms of entertainment .The average age of the guests staying here was quite elderly also so wouldn't recommend the area or the hotel to younger couples or families.</p>

<p>The Great Northern Hotel Bundoran is on one of the most spectacular locations in Ireland. We had a room on the second floor with fantastic views over Donegal Bay.
The room and service were excellent and the golf course is challenging and enjoyable.
A cliff walk from the hotel to Tullan strand (a mecca for surfers) is something to be experienced.
Breakfeast each morning was excellent and service left nothing to be desired. Dinner while maybe not gourmet standard was very edible and well presented. The athmosphere was added to by a few visits from Mr McEniff to enquire into how we were enjoying our stay and encourage us to return. The weather for our stay was superb which is reallya bonus.
All in all I would recommend this hotel and hope to return
