Nice enough - could use a deep clean.

Staff was great - very welcoming and helpful. Our room had some kind of mould, as we both woke up with very sore throats...

Our stay at the Grand Central Hotel.

We found the staff very friendly and helpful. The food was very good.The hotel could do with updating, the beds wasn't comfortable. The carpark was public about 60 yards away and no credit was given by the hotel for it's use.

Bundoran

Bundoran was a disappointment - a cross between Bognor Regis, Blackpool and Southend but smaller. Hotel was functional but curtains coming off rails, tv didn't really work and the constant noise from the lift left a sour taste for us.

very close to local and short-distance away touris

Very satisfactory. excellent value. three areas that might be improved are: 1) heat control of shower in room 108 2) full irish breakfast although enjoyable was inclined to be colder than is satisfactory - perhaps because I had it twice at 8am before things 'hotted up'. 3) someone to bring heavy luggage to bedrooms (and of course receive tip)

Hard to see how this is a 3 star hotel.... More like student accommodation.
