Great hospitality and location.
Stayed at this hotel lots of times over the past few years and was happy to return. Martin went out of his way to get us a suitable family suite which was brilliant. Was great having the pool to use on a wet day. The hotel room was lovely and warm and the dining rooms were comfortable and inviting. Staff were really accommodating and dealt with any queries efficiently and to our satisfaction. The hotel is in a busy small town and close to Fintra Bay and Slieve League cliffs which are spectacular. Would highly recommend a break at the Central Hotel for its homeliness and its locality.

Very disappointing hotel. The main lift was out of order! The room was cold but they did send a heater up! The walls near the kettle was splattered with tea or coffee. In need of an uplift!
