“A hotel that caters for a variety of people”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel for the first time in January and thought it caters very well for a variety of people. I was there for two nights and there did not appear to be many guests but it was busy. It has very good conference facilities, leisure facilities and a lot of local people using the bar, coffee bar in the lounge and restaurant. The reception staff were very friendly and efficient throughout my stay and the bedrooms were very comfortable and the hotel was clean and tidy. The restaurant food was good quality and the breakfast was adequate. WiFi was available all over the hotel and free, which is a pleasant change compared to other hotels I have stayed in. There is plenty of car parking and the location is excellent. I would certainly book in again in the future.

“Great food and service at awards dinner”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

This was my second visit to the hotel for an annual awards dinner.

The food and service is great for a large function of 320 people (32 tables). Good hot food, well presented, efficiently served, and attentive drinks service all evening. The audio-visual facilities were also excellent. The hotel appears to specialise in conferences and functions, and does it well.

The hotel itself is a business style hotel, with standard facilities. Beds were comfortable. Believe that WiFi is free but you need to get a voucher from reception, which we didn't have time to do. The hotel was quite busy on the saturday night with various parties and can get a bit noisy. Saw an advert for Hen night packages, so may not be the best place if you are looking for quiet and relaxation. Our room was a bit dated - e.g. no flat screen TV, but otherwise clean and comfortable.

Breakfast is standard buffet style, with reasonable choice and quality (albeit - no fried eggs, only scrambled). Breakfast service closes at 10am which seems early for a sunday morning.

Overall am still impressed with the hotel's conference suite and facilities.

“Noisy, average hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Check in staff friendly and helpful. Rooms basic and clean. Very warm rooms even when we turned the radiator off. Woken up at 2am with people leaving the hotel nightclub. This went on for 2 hours,was very annoyed. Breakfast is self service, however the staff never brought us coffee when we ordered it.

Pool and gym facilities are good and clean. Free wifi was a helful benefit.

“Nice business hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

Stay here quite a lot when away on business. Good location, nice rooms and nice gym. They even have free wireless which is for some reason not the norm in Northern Irish hotels. One complaint was the ridiculously hot room i was in in and the radiator valve was broken and would not turn down.
