Everything Double bed
The location was great, staff were very helpful and friendly.
The bed was so hard and uncomfortable
De plek van het hotel. Mooi centraal.
Dat het hotel oud is, is mooi. Het schreeuwt echter om modernisering en o.a kranen die qua temperatuur zijn te regelen.
Location Breakfast Bedroom very quiet
Super location the staff were really nice and helpful breakfast was lovely.
A wee bit noisy late at night but I think that's due to the age of the building.
Staff were lovely and friends, good range of drinks and food was excellent.
Ambiance cosy, joli décor. Bien placé Très bon petit déjeuner Restaurant très bien quoique un peu cher
Le lit était petit et mou. La porte laissait filtrer la lumière et beaucoup de passage toute la nuit. Le rideau de douche qui colle est une horreur.. La poussière n était pas faite sous le téléphone…
Excellent breakfast
The property suited our needs for location we were at a wedding in a nearby hotel was handy enough to get to.
We paid £167 for one night, so unfortunately I didn’t feel the stay was good value for money. We arrived at around 2:40pm, just 20 minutes before the 3pm check-in time. We were told it would be another 30 minutes before the room was ready. As we were attending a wedding, we didn’t want to wait around and explained that we only wanted to leave our bags and check in before heading off, so we declined and returned to the hotel at around 2am. Unfortunately, the room was disappointing. The bathroom was not particularly clean, with dirt visibly built up in the grooves of the bathroom door. The biggest issue was the shower. The water temperatures seemed to be the wrong way around, with the cold water actually coming out warmer than the hot. I had shower gel on me and couldn’t properly wash it off, so I ended up having to get out and soak a towel to clean myself. The room also had a damp, musty feeling to it, which wasn’t pleasant. I am genuinely not fussy when it comes to hotels, especially when I’m only looking for somewhere to get my head down for the night, so I wouldn’t normally complain about minor things. However, for £167 for one night, I expected a basic level of cleanliness and functioning facilities. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel the room met that standard and it wasn’t good value for the price we paid.
Restaurant and bar was rly nice
Bed was too hard for me. But maybe a Personal preferences

The location was very good, close to shops, restaurants etc. Breakfast was good.
Bed was very uncomfortable. Room faced on to a busy road so hard to sleep with the noise of traffic Bathroom was dated and water pressure in shower not good..
Good location, great staff!
Bed very uncomfortable, mattress was extremely hard.
Staff really helpful
Nothing it was the perfect stay
Very friendly staff, strong wi-fi connection, enough parking spots, we enjoyed breakfest.
Friendly staff
Bathrooms could do with an upgrade
First time in lreland and going to this hotel made us liove Ireland more.The staff amazing .We will go back to this hotel again.Also its located near towm .
Comfortable beds, friendly staff, food was good
I liked the old worldly character it was a very pleasant stay
The flooring was a bit tired it could do with a refresh. A wooden or laminate floor would help modernise the look and would be easier to clean than carpet.
Excellent location for touring the Antrim coast/Giant's Causeway area. Great staff, brilliant buffet breakfast and evening meals. The special 2 night deal that they do includes a £50 dinning credit - which pretty much covers the cost of the entire meal!
Very friendly staff you should be proud of yourselves
Early checkout but I suppose that’s the same with most hotels
It's hard to beat this location if exploring the local area with car parking provided.Easy to find local restaurants a short walk away.Very little information provided about the ballymena area and shopping areas.Reception could be a bit more welcoming . The room was adequate but some have very limited views,bed very comfortable
Lovely clean room and en-suite. Food really good. However, bar prices increased overnight for the same drinks and no explanation when questioned about it. I feel they should have a clear full bar price List on show.
Everything, the whole stay was excellent
Absolutely nothing to complain about
The bed was massive, staff were so lovely could not fault this place.

The bed had been slept in by someone and not changed before we arrived! No hot water in room and toilet didn't flush. Complained to staff and was moved to smaller room
location central good dinner chef
dated bathroom -facilities. poor toilet and shower
The food was only ok. Could have been better Lasagne served in a desert bowl Breakfast was just left out to bake under heat lights
Warm welcoming on arrival, all of the staff are friendly and accommodating, rooms are cleaned daily. During a long stay the hotel made me feel like I was at a home from home.
Overnight stay for a wedding else where late checkout and the food was Beautiful

Helpful staff .Comfortable lounge for relaxing.Comfortable beds.
Felt some areas in need of upgrading
Great location attended a wedding nearby the staff checked us in early and left bags to the room this was super helpful
As we were attending a wedding we didn’t come back to late so all windows were open and no heat so the room was so cold. It did heat up quickly after turning radiator on, the water was scalding in the shower and extremely difficult to adjust
Comfiest bed in the world! Great service, brekkie, room and more! Thank you!

Clean and friendly staff. Excellent location.
The staff were lovely and beyond helpful. Thank you all
The room didnt have air conditioning just a fan in the wardrobe but the room was sweltering hot all night
The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived until we left. The food was superb and Hayley G who served us again made us welcomed and nothing was to much trouble for her and made the evening easy and enjoyable.
Excellent service and location. Fantastic hotel, parking was excellent and staff very friendly. Fantastic breakfast and excellent ambient decor. Bed was comfortable and pillows were fantastic.
Nothing of note
Comfortable bedding
No refrigerator
Having the car park. Breakfast food was lovely. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable..
As we were at a wedding nearby unfortunately we were not able to fully experience your lovely hotel. The breakfast staff were a little sharp and very quick to taking the hot food away.(It was not even 10am!) One of our friends nearly missed her cooked breakfast as she was finishing her fruit.
We've stayed during our road-trip and the location and free parking is a clear plus. The staff is friendly and breakfast was good. Our room was somewhat outdated and small, so was the ensuite.
Yeah breakfast was pretty good.
Nothing.
Staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. Beds super comfortable. Hotel was spacious and very centrally located.
We had requested two rooms by the lift and close to each other and this was agreed in writing. Unfortunately, it was not the case one room was close to the lift and the other a good distance away. The second room was also quite dusty and looked like it hadn’t been used for some time. Fortunately, we are able to see beyond this.

Nothing I could say was bad about this place. 10/10
The hotel is a short walk from the train station and the Indian restaurant nearby is a good option. Breakfast was fine with a good selection. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
It was noisy at night and some guests were loud in the corridors. The restaurant closes early during the week. The room was rather warm.
Lovely hotel and the food we had for the evening meal was amazing. Deffo stay here again if we find ourselves back in Ballymena
Everything, comfortable, friendly and clean

Good location, staff were very pleasant, welcoming and helpful. Rooms were clean.
The rooms are quite dated and could do with updating
Had a great stay, very comfortable beds, no noise and great location, very friendly and helpful staff, will definitely stay here again
Not much to like about this hotel. Staff are very nice, that's about it.
The room was dirty, stains everywhere throughout the room and a constant smell of food and grease from the kitchen which obviously travels up through the hotel. Breakfast was poor quality. It was cold, not a lot on offer and did not taste great. Finally, from a very early hour there was a very loud noise outside the room, at first I thought it was building works but it turned out to be a vent right outside the window. At the price I paid it was not worth it. There are much better hotels of the same star out there providing much better facilities than this.
Guest check in was strictly at 3pm and no consideration for guests who have travelled very far
The breakfast was great a great choice and variety of dishes to cater for everyone
Sorry nothing bad to say

First time at this lovely, historic hotel. Had a relaxing atmosphere. Staff were very helpful. Lovely food. Rooms are small but cosy and the bed was extremely comfortable. Slept well. Free parking onsite. Convenient to town centre and very close to the theatre where we watched a show. A nice 2 night break away. Will be back! If you’re looking for a short break we highly recommend this hotel.
Staff friendly and very comfortable bed Breakfast very good
Bedroom and bathroom decor very dated. Shower not very efficient
The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast buffet used high quality produce. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. It was also useful to have car parking on site.
