Nice hotel, great area, fantastic staff.
Pros:

The staff were fantastic, really friendly at check in, in the bar area, during the world cup matches.

Cons:

There was a heat wave the week we went and unusually Antrim had beautiful warm weather, it would have been nice if there was a couple of picnic tables outside to sit at with bar meals and drinks.

Great hotel lovely fresh rooms & friendly staff
Pros:

Great location lovely comfortable rooms friendly staff

Cons:

Last 2 times we booked we were leaving very early in the morning for the airport so we didn’t have breakfast but there was no option to book room only…I think there should be an option for room only for people who not require breakfast

Pros:

Staff molto premuroso e gentile

Cons:

Posizione lontano dal centro.. Ma se si vuole soltanto un posto per dormire ad un buon prezzo può essere una buona soluzione.
