The Ostán Lock Altan is good value for the money. It's also the bus stop for several bus services. Because I was on holiday, but did not rent a car, I found the hotel to be very convenient for me to make a bus connection to Dublin. My only disappointment was that the mattress in my room was the lumpiest I have ever slept on. I hope the hotel will replace the mattresses soon.

Lovely hotel
Great wee hotel in a lovely location. Staff were brilliant. Just one issue. We had a battered fish, very tough as if frozen? Complained but no reaction from kitchen. Otherwise, faultless. Thank you.

When we arrived we were given the key to our room only to discover that not only was it not ready but there were still items of clothing in it presumably from the previous guest. We were then given a different room but our intended room had a much nicer view. The food was not great and the emphasis seemed to be more on quantity rather than quality. The staff were pleasant and helpful but would probably do with some additional training and the kitchen could do with some input from an expert and experienced chef. One other guest likened the hotel to Faulty Towers. In summary not a disaster but certainly could do with some improvement.

friendly and relaxing.
Conveniently located small hotel for touring beautiful North Donegal. It is situated within the village of Gortahork in a Gaeltacht area and its ambience is provision of a hub for the local people while catering to the passing trade of the many tourists visiting this area of stunning natural beauty. Staff are very helpful and food is lovely and reasonably priced. Great breakfast. The hotel does not have a pool or leisure centre.
