Nice hostel, ideal to explore Donegal

Camera spaziosa, bagno di dimensioni ridotte ma tutto molto pulito. Forniti in camera snack e acqua fresca. Disponibile piccola cucina per colazione e spuntini. Dispone di un servizio breakfast a pagamento (molto buono). Nella città sono presenti 3 ristoranti raggiungibili a piedi. Di buon livello i due che abbiamo sperimentato.
