Pros:

Personnel vraiment adorable !

Cons:

L'hôtel est une bouilloire thermique et nous avons eu très chaud, sans aucune clim et fenêtres quasi condamnées. En prime, une odeur de tabac froid dès qu'on rentre dans la chambre...

Great hotel for a stop over. Close to town centre. Clean rooms, friendly staff and good food.

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.
