Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The freezing room was a nice relief when tired, but the leak was an issue. The location was suitable for my needs, being close to family, though I wouldn't recommend a room at the front. The dining experience, especially breakfast, was a bit chaotic with staff under pressure. The price seemed to reflect the downhill trend at that time.
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel; the room had a nice outlook over the adjacent fields and was a perfect size. The staff attempted to resolve a minor issue with the bathroom radiator, but the hotel manager was best avoided. The hotel offers good value for money.
The hotel offered beautifully presented and comfortable rooms, but the access through construction areas raised safety concerns. The service for wedding arrangements was impeccable. The location was ideal for those with a car, with proximity to small shops and easy access to both the city and airports. The dining experience, though with limited choice, improved towards the end. Overall, a well-designed hotel with some areas needing attention.
I stayed at this hotel with my family of 5, and it was a lovely experience overall. The rooms were comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the dinner was delicious. The only downside was the need for room updates and improvements in the breakfast offerings.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The Larne Suite where I stayed was beautifully designed and finished to a high standard, creating a modern and cosy atmosphere. Overall, I was happy with the price of the room.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern and well-equipped, reflecting the excellent value for money. The service was top-notch, especially for wedding services. The location was ideal for both airport access and city exploration. The dining experience had a nice variety, and the facilities were impressive.
The hotel offers high-standard rooms, cleaner than many luxury properties I've stayed in, ideal for a budget-friendly night out. The staff tried to resolve the bathroom radiator issue. However, avoid front rooms. The location is outside town but convenient with a car; expensive by taxi. Breakfast was satisfying, changed to made-to-order; but avoid reception for dining. Facilities are suitable for work stays.
The rooms at this hotel were unexpectedly modern and very clean, providing a lovely and comfy stay. However, some dining aspects could be improved. The location was convenient for both work and leisure, but be cautious with room selection. Overall, a comfortable and value-for-money experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers newly decorated rooms with very comfy beds and spotless bathrooms, making it a great choice for a stay in Ireland. While the location is quiet and peaceful, with friendly staff ready to go the extra mile, the soundproofing could be improved, and some areas were under renovation during my visit.
