The stay was great except on the Wednesday night. A promotion advertising Pizza & Pint for £15 For the Premier League game City v Arsenal starting at 8 o'clock. Howevef the kitchen closed at 8 o' clock that night even though the sign on the bar said DINNER 18.30 HRS -21.00 hrs. Also no tomatoes on the breakfast. Was this cost cutting or shortage.?

The staff were fabulous - informative, helpful and cheerful. (Especially check-in - Ey up to you from the Yorkshire lasses !!) Nothing too much trouble for anyone and you were always greeted with a smile. Everywhere was lovely and clean. Breakfast was vast and very tasty. Plenty of car parking spaces. A great base from which to explore beautiful Northern Ireland. We will be back !!

Spent four nights here. The hotel is quite dated and had an awful smell as you enter the reception. The toilet in my room was blocked and we were moved to another room where the hand basin was blocked and the phone was not working. Staff at breakfast were helpful and hardworking. Beds were made in a timely manner. Not a hotel I would return to.

Water leaked a lot when I was taking a shower due to short and thin curtain. In addition, I can hear clearly sounds and noise from next room because two rooms are connected with two doors facing each other. We can literally see each other if we both open the doors. There is no privacy. The condition, decorations, furnitures, space of the room are sad and rather old. Not worth 180pounds/night. I left the hotel before breakfast time so no comments about it

Stayed as family before an airport trip. It was very convenient to make the short early very early the next morning. Service for check in and dinner was very slow. There was probably low occupancy so they reduced the staffing but the check in, bar and restaurant were all in the one view and lots of times we waited for a staff member to appear from a back office. Food was nice for dinner if expensive, sorry we didn't venture across the road for better service and value for money. The continental breakfast available from 4am was hadn't but would have liked a takeaway cup available so i could make a coffee on the go. Would stay again.

Fold up sofa tried to fold up with son in it and the neighbours in hotel, both sides where arguing in middle of night. Thankfully they didn’t wake son. On arrival the lady who greeted me; was so welcoming and so nice. Nothing was to much trouble even offered to help us order a takeaway. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve had. I’ve stayed in the lowery before now and it was just as good. Credit to the chefs. I even asked a young lady for vegetarian sausage and I wasn’t made to feel that it was too much effort. This is by far the best ing type hotel I have stayed at. Wish it was closer.
