Andrea

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff at hotel reception and manager are completely unhelpful. Any requests were met with the response that because I used a third party website for booking they accepted no responsibility for anything. The hotel should not be included on third party websites if the same standard of customer service cannot be expected. Reception staff and manager were rude and unhelpful. I will never return and would advise others to seek alternative accomodation.

Waterfoot Hotel weekend

Reception check in, housekeeping was very good. Staff in restaurant & Bar were super good. Breakfast & other meals were delicious. We had an excellent stay. Also lady at reception gave us directions to a pathway alongside the Foyle which took us into the City, there is a bus service which stops just before Caw roundabout if you don't fancy the walk back.Hotel is a hidden gem.There is a busy roundabout just before access to the Hotel but the pathway into the city is really pleasant & gives a good walk. There is good access for cars over the Foyle bridge to the City, Letterkenny erc.
