Have used this hotel twice now since January. Competitively priced. Quiet area. Free Parking. Rooms are great and immaculately cleaned with all facilities. Very good service from staff, friendly and great food. Relaxing bar/restaurant/lounge area. Breakfast is continental until 9am so just bear this in mind as the full works comes on line shortly after

The staffs are very attentive to our needs. And they will also cook a hot meal for you , upon request, during breakfast. Their coffee will be served to your table with a lovely aroma and great taste. And you can stroll around their beautiful garden . Will stay again with them whenever we come back❤

A really nice hotel with very decent sized rooms and fitted out to a very high standard. The service is also excellent especially in the bar where the drinks never go dry! A really nice place that my friends and I all said we would return to. Don’t forget to try the superb Ulster Fry as well!

O banheiro não estava limpo adequadamente, havia tampas de shampoo no chão do banheiro. Gostei muito do restaurante do hotel para jantar. O café da manhã eu não gostei, por ter poucas opções e pela baixa qualidade dos pães. A localização distante do centro não me atrapalhou, porque eu estava com carro.

Very very disappointed, given family room 12 bed looked like someone had eaten the bed, also someone must have fired a drink from the bed to the bins marks all up the walls and the dust sitting thick on the blinds and units, not to mention the stained cushions. A proper let down, we booked a family room through Expedia and when we arrived were told we owed another £40 for the kids as they were not included in the family room??? Moved to room 8 it was no better we we just said nothing they obviously sprayed air freshener in the room before we entered but didn't hide the fact the place was still filthy spiders everywhere and cobwebs.

The staff were excellent , friendly and helpful, there is however one area of concern, the gent’s toilet near the public bar and a function room were disgusting . Also the cistern in room 3 takes a very long time to fill and is very noisy.

I loved the bedroom and dining room. The style of decor was excellent and bedroom nice and dark. Food was fabulous very tasty and filling. Good choice of foofd at breakfast. You could choose your own omelette filliing and they were lovely. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The only problems were that the sink tended to block and phone didnt work.

The stay was OK. The room was basic with 1 double and 2 single beds in room. The TV was old and remote a bit grubby. Worst thing for me was the extremely slow wifi. When connected, it tested on average at only 1mbps which is impossible to either work with or for watching any streaming services.... constantly buffering.

The hotel looks good but there are underlining signs lack of staff current staff over worked. Poor customer service. Booked through Expedia who failed to make booking which was a really inconvenient when we arrived. Not the hotel or booking platform’s finest hour. It’s ok to get things wrong but it’s how you put it right that matters and both establishments blamed each other the present customer suffers and I am putting this out there so future customers don’t have to! In a nutshell don’t use Expedia to book a hotel!

The Ballymac is a lovely hotel in a quiet, rural location. The room was very comfortable and clean. It was very warm though, even when I tried to turn down the heater. The staff were very polite and attentive. However, they were absent at times at the reception. Not a huge issue except if you need to speak to someone about getting a table at the restaurant for instance. The food in the restaurant was quite exceptional and prices were fair. Food arrived promptly when ordered and it tasted great! My biggest negative point was having to wait until after 9am to get a cooked breakfast. Before 9am is continental only. Will book again.

A pleasant stay in a friendly hotel about 10 miles from Belfast. Ideal for International airport if you have a car. Great food and friendly staff. Slightly dated interior but good value and spotlessly clean. Only criticism is that the strong cleaning chemicals used in the room triggered some sort of allergy as they were very strong.

The property is a lovely, clean and well kept place with a great menu and really nice well portioned food offering in the evening. However the breakfast is a continental breakfast from 0700-0900 then cooked breakfast from 0900 until 1100am. This meant that there was no option for me to enjoy the cooked breakfast as I was travelling for work and had to be out of the hotel well before 0900am. . Most business travelers will be out before the cooked breakfast offering is available which is why most other hotels offer a cooked breakfast from 0630. Just something to consider!
