Name: Dobbins Inn
Address: 6-8 High Street, Carrickfergus, County Antrim, GB
Rating: 7

Was Gäste sagen

Dobbins Inn erhält häufig Lob für sein freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal, das herzhafte, frisch zubereitete Frühstück und den jahrhundertealten Charme in zentraler Lage in der Nähe von Carrickfergus Castle. Einige Gäste bemängeln jedoch veraltete Zimmer, ein instabiles WLAN und gelegentliche Geräusche von Bars oder Veranstaltungen.

Viele schätzen die hoteleigene Kneipe und das gute Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sowie die Parkmöglichkeiten in der Nähe und die fußläufige Erreichbarkeit der Sehenswürdigkeiten. Zu den häufigsten Nachteilen gehören kleine oder unregelmäßige Zimmer, schwaches Warmwasser oder Wasserdruck, begrenzte Heizzeiten und fehlende Aufzüge oder Klimaanlagen. Erwarten Sie einen charaktervollen, preisgünstigen Aufenthalt, der vor allem Reisende anspricht, denen Geschichte wichtiger ist als moderner Komfort.

TV shuts off and so does the internet. Or the TV has volume but no picture. Staff fixes and later it is down again, this happened the entire two nights.Parking is on street and subject to tickets. I had to go to the bar to use my laptop, a beer is 6 pounds. I went to the pub across the street for great internet and 2 pound beers.

Excellent value and enjoyable stay. You can park outside for free between 5pm and 9am which works well, parking during the day is by way of a good value pay and display carpark 100 yards away. Friendly bar with an excellent menu. Have stayed several times to date and would book again.

This property offers old world charm in an old world neighborhood. The castle is a block away. The staff was super friendly and the dinner and breakfast meals were very good. If you can’t get parking on the street in front of the hotel, free parking is available at the harbor a block away. There is a loading/unloading area in front of the hotel.

Although this is a quaint old hotel there are some features that older travelers may not like. First there is no lift in this hotel, so unless you get a room on the bottom floor, you will be lugging your bags up some very narrow stairs. The hallways were narrow passageways to a small room; the door did not have a traditional handle, only a deadbolt-latch on the inside. It had a “hostel” vibe about the room. Downstairs was a tired version of old-world pub. The staff was friendly and understanding when we requested a cancellation/refund on our 3rd floor room

Quirky but average accom. Nice friendly staff Quick checkin Heating doesn’t come in till 6pm and goes off during night. Shower not that hot. First time we stayed, the fire was on and it was warm n inviting, next visit the weather was colder but no fire Bar maid screamed at a local which was long and unsettling Bar is patrons by locals so it has a nice I timTe vibe

Wonderfully charming inn with lots of character and history. We had a nice chat with the very friendly innkeeper/bartender (we forgot to ask her name) and she also helped us to find a place for dinner in town since we arrived after their restaurant had closed. The room was on the small side but efficient and clean with a large ensuite bathroom. There is no lift so this may be less suited for older travelers or travelers with limited mobility. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend

Aufenthalt für eine Nacht

Quaint is what I would describe the hotel it has its charm , it old and it looks it but again that's it's charm if your expecting 5 star luxury then your not going to get it but then again your not paying 5 star prices either , let's just say the hotel is cute it's across the road from the castle which is basically all there is to see and the castle tour was good plus relatively inexpensive kids will love it there's an awful lot of work to be done so be aware plus it's not really accessible for disabled patrons , but back to the hotel we got room 16 and I was surprised by how big it was the bed was huge which is a plus , when I first sat on it both back and front kind of elevated which I thought oh oh this is not going to be good but surprisingly I had a FANTASTIC nights sleep the duvet and pillows were great and over all very very comfortable the bathroom was clean and big with a shower over the bath not great again if you have problems throwing your leg over a bathtub and not a great shower you have to turn on both taps to operate it which is time consuming to try get the right temperature which again was not really possible as the pressure was not ideal plus you need to let the water run in the hot tap for quite a while to acutely get hot water , so not great over all I actually liked the whole place and would return the food is excellent the breakfast WONDERFUL it's not the Ritz but it's not too bad either if you like charm and historic then it has it in bucket fulls

The welcome was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good, but the property felt run down and shabby. Our windows looked out onto a dirty fire escape and had no way to hold them open, but would not have been secure open anyway so room was hot. Sitting on the high square toilet was like an implement of torture. The mattresses were cheap and uncomfortable and could feel the springs and got bounced around by partner. Paint peeling off the walls. Carpet so thin and with no underlay. Cobwebs around ceiling. Very dated room with little to recommend it. Shower was powerful when the hot water eventually came through.

Staff were friendly and welcoming, hot breakfast was cooked to order and was very good. Room itself was clean, bathroom is in need of an update and showing its age. There was no internet in the room although staff tried to reset it it would not connect in the room and cell service was sketchy at best. Our TV remote also did not work, even after a battery change. First world problems perhaps but two things that negatively impacted our stay.

The staff were fantastic and very helpful. The food was also very good. The rooms were like stepping back in time to the 1970’s. Awful beds. Luke warm drippy showers. Plug sockets that you couldn’t get a plug in. Windows that won’t stay open without propping them up with a log. Mouldy tiles in the bathroom. Lumpy beds. Tiny towels. Really was the worst room I’ve ever stayed in! At £135 I expected much better.

The room we were in had a gorgeous view of the castle! The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom looked recently remodeled. It is an old building so the floor was uneven; and the day we went was windy so the walls seemed to move with the wind- but that is to be expected in an old building. The one thing I will note is that there was a pub right below and you could hear people talking outside of it for quite a bit into the night. However it didn’t ruin the experience and we had quite a nice time. Would recommend.

Nice place, with some minor inconveniences: -window to outside would not close and had a gap, letting in a lot of street noise from the bar across the street -no air conditioning or even a fan...room was very stuffy -lots of flies in the room, maybe from the open window? -no hot water at sink -no suitable surfaces for managing toiletries But we knew this is an old building when we booked, so nothing that was a deal breaker.

Staff was lovely. Overall a great experience. Breakfast options was way better than most Irish hotels I’ve been to and tasteful as well. Cosy pub in the hotel. Just things to know: Door closed at night and you don’t get a key to the front door. Also, the building is very old, which is fine, but some parts definitely show wear and tear. If you visit in the winter there are heating hours, which makes the place a bit cold at times.
