Provider-sourced guest reviews.
One of those hotels where the room itself becomes part of the experience. The location is extraordinary. My room has a beautiful bay window looking directly over the sea and the marina, and I could genuinely spend hours sitting there. There is a wonderfully comfortable corduroy armchair by the window, so you can work, have your morning coffee or simply sit and watch the water. Combined with the very high ceilings, the room feels wonderfully spacious and rather special. But what has impressed me just as much as the setting is the hospitality. I arrived after a completely sleepless night, several hours before the official check-in time, expecting simply to leave my things and wait. Instead, the staff managed to give me my room early. It was such a thoughtful gesture at exactly the moment when it mattered most. And that warmth hasn’t been limited to check-in. Everyone I have encountered has been genuinely lovely. Even the small conversations with the staff add something to the atmosphere. Nothing feels forced or overly formal; you simply feel very welcome here.
Location and very friendly helpful staff

The Room was amazing, the food was out of this world & every member of staff were so polite & courtious. This hotel is Exceptional. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Can't think of anything
Excellent location
Very good and clean
Great view from our hotel room and comfortable stay. We had a lovely time at the hotel. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend. We will stay again.
The bar was really nice and busy which was a good sign
The room was in dire need of decoration and repair.
The hotel is in a great location and the bar/restaurant is fabulous
The location
Location
Not a hotel, restaurant with rooms above it. Room overlooked a noisy smoking area/ outside area.
Close to bars and restaurants.
The sea view was ok
The pictures didn't really match the room we had
Position was great, close to all the town had to offer. Bed very comfortable and bathroom nice and large.
No storage for toiletries in bathroom and very little storage for clothes. Couldn't get any hot water on first morning until maintenance had fixed the issue. But maintenace did come quickly.
A cosy hotel and the food was good. The outstanding part was the staff. They were the heart and soul of the place. Each and everyone who provided me with service were exceptional in their role. Warm, friendly and professional in their job. Thank you all.
Nothing really.
Room 14 was a real find — beautifully styled and exactly what I wanted The staff were lovely and made sure I got into the exact room I'd requested — room 14. It was small, but from the moment I saw the photos I knew it was the one. Newly decorated with dark red panelled walls, a lovely mix of Art Deco and Victorian furniture, and really gentle, flattering lighting — it had so much character. The ensuite was a good size too, with a great shower. Dinner was excellent as well — tiger prawn pil pil with broccoli stems, garlic and pecans to start, a nice glass of Chardonnay, and banoffee to finish. Couldn't fault it. My only note: the bed was on the firmer side for my taste, so a mattress topper would make it perfect. Otherwise, this is now my go-to when I'm in Bangor for business — highly recommend.
Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful Food was gorgeous, we had dinner and breakfast and couldn't fault it Bedroom was clean, warm and comfortable
Nothing
Great location, near to Marina and local shops. Rooms large(we upgraded to sea view) clean with all amenities. Bar was vibrant and great music. Superb breakfast.
Didn’t bother us but no lift so tricky to access rooms for less able people.
L'emplacement face à la baie magnifique !! La chambre 1, un peu vieillotte mais lit confortable géant et la vue superbe !!
L'hôtel est un peu vieux, salle de bain classique mais le charme y est malgré tout
This was easily the best experience we’ve had so far, made exceptional by the wonderfully friendly and welcoming staff. Check-in was smooth, and to our delight, they upgraded us to a beautiful room with a view at no extra charge. We truly appreciated the thoughtful gesture and high level of hospitality throughout our stay. Thanks so much!
Nothing at all! Everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish!
Lovely staff especially Steve who was an excellent host. Spotless room and comfortable bed. Breakfast amazing.... So much to choose from. Will definitely return
Nothing to report
The location is stunning. Overlooking bangor marina
The room could do with air conditioning. Yes we could open the window but alot of traffic noise We both felt that the staff weren't particularly friendly and not overly welcoming!
The apartment was great and really nicely decorated and designed (except a couple of little details).
The staff was not very attentive though.
Sehr nettes kleines Hotel mit sehr gutem Restaurant, wo man auch frühstücken kann (Aufpreis). Direkt am Hafen - kostenlose Parkplätz gegenüber. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.
One word beautiful
Everything
Great Location I had a Top Floor King Size with Great Views
No Fridge although helpful staff gave me milk for Tea
Lovely room with a view
Excellent location and staff, all very friendly.
Room got very hot at night.
Friendly staff and room overlooking the marina and Belfast Lough was fine.
Whilst it didn't worry us, three flights of stairs might be a problem for some.
Position was good all staff helpful
Nothing
Very comfortable spacious house with 4 double beds Exceptionally clean and tidy everything perfect
Everything perfect
The location on the seafront. The closeness to the town centre and the free parking on the car park almost directly opposite the hotel. We did not eat there but the food looked and smelled very good
We had all the windows open but the room was excessively hot. This was during one of this summer's heat waves but was uncomfortable in the room.
Very comfy bed, clean rooms, lovely staff. Delicious breakfasts
Very friendly staff and great location.
Room was really excellent and clean. The food in hotel was amazing
Location Bathroom
The address of the flat is behind the hotel on an adjoining street. The flat has on street parking.....SO MUCH EASIER than parking at the hotel.... they advertise the free Carpark opposite instead. Theres a 1 way system outside the hotel so if you miss it first time you have to keep driving around the block..which was a bit frustrating. So better parking instructions would be a huge improvement
Location and staff amazing
Bar toilets not very clean. Breakfast over priced.
Lovely location. Stairs weren’t suitable for my 83 year old friend. Our rooms were at the very top with no lift facilities nor did anyone offer to bring bags to the room.
When my fiend ordered breakfast the next morning I realised it wasn’t included in the price thus paid extra. The breakfast was just over £30 for one and a child! Very overpriced.
We stayed in the 4 bed Townhouse, we were suprised at the space we had, as it was advertised only as an apartment on booking.com. Lovely as a family of 5 to have our own space. The beds were really comfortable. Bathroom was great. Good to have the dryer, came in useful to dry off hoodies after being caught in the rain. Comfortable sofas for the evening. Free parking over at the marina wad useful.
The area had nothing to offer. No fault of the Nines. The marina is undergoing development so the town is pretty derelict.
Big comfortable bed
Noisy outside : beer garden/pub. But quiet after closing time.
Seafront view and comfy and clean rooms
Location & room view amazing . Food was excellent
Towels smelt bad but these we got more so no issues . A bit noisy not the nines fault just other guests banging doors shouting .
Location was perfect
I liked everything
Great location, well priced . Great food and staff
No complaints
Friendly staff, great location looking over the sea

Small room - and no drinking water. But it was a great price
Location was great and staff were very friendly :) Cocktails were fab. Buzzing bar.
Very Hot room even with noisy fan. Loud as right opposite service room. Generator just outside as had to leave windows open.
Great location and great views
We we're welcome the staff were polite very helpful we booked 6 rooms and never had any complaints from my group 😀 😉 😄 the manager loran was the most helpful she went above board if we require anything aswell as another young girl i can't remember her name dark hair but all very helpful
Nothing you can't put anything down if you are very happy. 😀😀😀😀
The hotel is in a great location with lovely views of the marina
We were allocated a superb, high spec, immaculate room that was spacious and comfortable. The triple aspect bay window had a beautiful sea view. We were lucky enough to park just across the road. Our first time in Bangor. Can’t recommend The Nines enough.
l'emplacement le propreté la servante de matin
L'accueil du serveur n'était pas courtois le prix du verre de Whisky appliquer par le même serveur, ce prix à même fait réagir l'autre servantes.
Great location and nice room
Room was spacious, bathroom good size. Beds were comfortable and bedding was crisp white and clean. Staff kindly held on to our luggage so we didn't have to pull it around shops etc until it was time to leave for the airport. Would recommend. Had lunch the following day it was lovely (fish & chips)
Nothing
A brilliant location, we were lucky to get upgraded to a sea view room and it was lovely. Great polite staff and loved that there was a variety of gluten free and vegetarian options for breakfast and dinner!

Just one Bathroom for 4 rooms
l'emplacement avec un parking à proximité, l'ambiance a l'intérieur de l'établissement (même si bruyante en soirée) et aussi en ville et dans les pubs autour
le labyrinthe pour accéder aux chambres
The views over the harbour.
No lifts d steep stairs. Noone to help with luggage.
It was perfect for what we needed, my husband and soon had come off a long flight and needed a space to recover from jetlag. It was great to have a kitchen, and although they didn't have some larger pots to make dinner, these were quickly provided. We had breakfast and dinner x2 in their restaurant and this was good too. Highly recommend
We hired a car, it was on a busy street so parking was not always easy.
Bedroom was excellent size and location great
When the refurbishment is completed it will make a huge difference. Dinner was tasty, had sea bass which wasn't great just okay. Wait on dessert was stupid long
We had a great stay, the staff were so helpful, especially Cameron and Beth who were so lovely. The food was awesome, the restaurant was busy every night of our stay. The rooms are a bit dated BUT it was built in the early 1900s so doesn't have the modern fixtures like air conditioning. Our room was a bit warm, we asked for a fan and got one straight away. Overall we had a great experience.
The decor of the rooms, however I believe the rooms are currently being renovated.
A nice place to stay for an overnight
None but almost charged us whereas paid via booking.com
Room was great. Location is fantastic. Staff were so helpful. Food was deelish!

Proximity to event…(unfortunately an annual local festival was also on over the weekend, so no sleep for noise.) Beautiful views on a stunning weekend with ERY helpful staff…Stevie went above and beyond with all staff going above and beyond to make my first visit to NI excellent.
