What guests think

Armagh City Hotel draws consistent praise for friendly, efficient staff, comfortable modern rooms, and a convenient location, while reviews note enjoyable dining, ample parking, and leisure facilities, though access to the pool can be limited at busier times.

Several guests found the pool and spa areas restricted by lesson schedules, occasional closures, or extra charges, with some facilities reported as tired or out of order. Rooms are generally spacious, modern, and quiet, though a few noted no air conditioning, weak irons, or noise from events. Food and bar meals are widely liked, but pricing can feel high and breakfast quality ranges from excellent to disappointing. Expect a comfortable stay with standout service and some facility and dining variability.

Nice short business trip. Nice hotel, good gym, rooms are modern. The iron wasn't the best. Not the cheapest of hotels as in room price. Nice Friendly staff.

Great friendly hotel , I have stayed there many times , the only thing is the swimming pool is booked for swimming lessons just when business people like myself would like a swim after work. So for me this let’s a great hotel down.

Parking area very safe with plenty of disabled bays. Reception area busy with afternoon teas and people relaxing and socialising in the evening which gave off a good vibe. Very professional staff. Bar and tables cleared quickly and efficiently. Friendly staff. Singer on Saturday night very enjoyable.

Good breakfast. Leisure facilities obviously tired, no locks for the lockers and pool very noisy with young ones. But apparently there are plans to upgrade the pool and sauna areas which will be good.

We were expecting to use the spa facilities however we had to pay for the facility separate and then the hot tub didn't even work. Very disappointing.

We were staying on a Friday night and we were told that the hotel was very busy with Christmas parties. To avoid the rush, we booked a table in the restaurant for the earlier time of 6.30pm. However, when we went down to use the pool and leisure facilities at 5pm, we were told that the WHOLE pool was closed to residents until 6pm as it was all being used for swimming lessons. 6pm was no good to us as we had dinner booked at 6.30pm. To make things worse, the pool didn't open until 9am on the Saturday morning and HALF of it was then closed to residents because of swimming lessons. With breakfast finishing at 10pm, we were very rushed to be able to use the pool, sauna and jacuzzi at all (also the steam room was out-of-order!). I don't think this is an acceptable service for residents, who have paid a substantial amount for a one-night stay.

Attended an event here. Staff were friendly and really helpful. Room was spacious and very clean. We had a meal for 14 people. The food and the service was excellent. I would especially like to mention Cornelia and Sarah in the restaurant who were very professional and made sure everything went to plan. From event booking to check in to the meal I can honestly say everything was well above standard and I would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Armagh or holding an event there.

My friend & I stayed one night,staff friendly and helpful. Rooms beautiful,hotel was very busy as a lot of diners. There was only one bar tender & he appeared to be under serious pressure. When checking in to hotel we asked could we books a table for dinner but were told it was walk in. When we arrived at the dining room we had to join a queue with non residents to wait for a table. Food very good but service slow. With self service breakfast the eggs have to be ordered separately ,one would expect the egg to be cooked fresh but this was not the case for me as the egg which was served to me was like rubber and had obviously been sitting for a long time . The staff did accommodate with a freshly cooked egg.
