Good & Bad.
Pros:

Really nice and comfortable place, and its beautiful decor especially in the bar lounge area.

Cons:

At approximately 0310am my wife and I were wakened by another couple banging and kicking the door to the room next door. When another resident came out and said go and get the night porter, they were met with a barrage of abuse and bad language, no respect at all, NEVER AGAIN....

Lovely stay in Bangor!
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at The Nines. The location was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the characterful old building with its stairs winding in different directions, and our room was light and comfortable. We appreciated the tea and coffee in the room. Although breakfast isn't included in the price, we had a very good vegetarian Irish breakfast in the restaurant, so I recommend trying that!

Cons:

We were quite amused to have a fire exit in our room, but looking at the fire safety plan the door was supposed to be just for us (rather than our room just being a corridor for everyone to use in the case of a fire drill etc.) so not an issue. The website makes it look like the rooms are all really fancy, and our room was definitely on the more homely side, but that wasn't a problem for us. We found it a really sweet place, but don't come here expecting a 4 star city hotel, it's not that. It's a historic building, and it has more character for it.

Highly recommended
Pros:

We made a last-minute decision to stay in the Belfast area and got amazing value at the Nines. Lovely spot on the harbour-front in Bangor, food was to die for and shout out to the friendly helpful staff who gave us a late check out so my wife could get a shower after a freezing charity swim.

Overall very happy
Pros:

Breakfast was fantastic as always!

Cons:

Very stuffy in the room but we turned the heating down so it wasn’t too bad. Also the main light in the bedroom was very dull. Not just light for the main bulb.
