KellyUnited KingdomGreat location comfortable bed, friendly staff
The door creeked in the bathroom. Door to room also made a noise could have been from the draft in hallway. This was minor but annoying.

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.

- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about The Donard
What time is check-in and check-out at The Donard?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Donard allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at The Donard?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does The Donard have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Donard have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at The Donard?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book The Donard?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
