Wonderful Find!
Pros:

What a find ! This wonderful hotel is in a historic building that has been sympathetically restored into a luxury hotel whilst still retaining its historical importance
every major sight is on your doorstep, fully walkable, once leaving the hotel you can be standing on the historic walls within moments

We have been lucky enough for stay in all the categories of the rooms previously but this time we stayed in a suite which was just so amazing
Professional & welcoming team, thank you to Kaysei & all the team in front office for another memorable stay
Breakfast was lovely, great selection of cereals, pastries, juices etc & a freshly cooked breakfast also .. yum !
If you don’t manage to be lucky enough secure a room at the Bishop’s Gate for your stay then do at least have dinner in the restaurant or drinks in the bar when visiting this town

For comfort, service & location this is the best hotel in town without a doubt

Absolutely loved it !

We had a superb stay here for the first night of our honeymoon. Robyn on reception was so friendly, helpful and professional before and at check in, and at checkout. Room 501 was beautiful and had a little balcony where we enjoyed morning coffee in the sun. Room service was prompt, food quality excellent and overall great value with a lovely upgrade thrown in! A new favourite !

***** Hotel and Team Bishps Gate Hotel
Pros:

From arrival until departure, our experience in Bishops Gate Hotel, was *****.. We were very warmly welcomed at Reception for check in and assigned our rooms, and Patrick took up our luggage to the rooms, so thank you Patrick.Rooms are beautifully & individually appointed and spotlessly clean. As part of our package, it included dining in the hotel, and our first nights dining experience was *****. Food, Staff, Service, *****. Breakfast the next morning was wonderful too, with food, plates hot and staff *****. Second evening dining was also a culinary delight, with food, staff *****. On our last morning we all had the fry with me opting for mini fry and it was delicious, so once again thank you to Team Gown for our culinary dining experiences. On behalf of us all, we wish to convey our gratitude to every member of Team Bishops Gate Hotel, we engaged with. Bishops Gate Hotel, is really in a hospitality league of its own, and we wish tne newly opened The Bedford Hotel, Belfast success in this regard also.

Wonderful Stay
Pros:

This was our first time to stay in the hotel. We enjoyed three nights and can only repeat the glowing reviews posted already. The room was excellent - full marks for cleanliness and presentation. Staff were top notch - welcoming and definitely well trained, helpful without being any way overbearing. It was a real delight to enjoy. Food in the restaurant was superb and the breakfasts definitely set us up each day. This hotel absolutely merits its entry in The Blue Book. We could not find any fault with it. thank you for a lovely stay !

Perfect
Pros:

Just checked out after another stay at Bishops Gate. It was lovely to be back and experience how a hotel should be run. Very friendly helpful staff, beautiful rooms so well maintained and delicious food.
This time we brought my brother & sister in law as they were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They had a beautiful larger room with a congratulations card & cake. Dinner was so good and breakfast tasty. It's our go to hotel when visiting this area. Thank you for making it special.
