Luxurious Stay Near Belfast
easy accessspacious roomfantastic staffpoor attentiveness
The hotel included a health club and easy access to the Cultra Inn. The room was spacious and had a sizable bath (perfect for relaxation!). I enjoyed a tasty meal with fantastic staff, including Sarah and the gentleman in the restaurant. I would definitely return to this hotel.
During my visit, I noticed the bar area became very busy, which caused a significant drop in attentiveness. It took forty minutes to get a seat (this was far too long). It also took considerable time to clear the table and receive service. The manager seemed preoccupied with complaints instead of overseeing service.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast buffet offers a great selection from classic Irish to continental options. I saw various choices ranging from sweet to savory, ensuring a fulfilling start to the day. The fresh food and wide array.
Facilities
10/10
The spa services were good and I observed a clean environment. I saw a lounge area where guests can have drinks, tea, or lunch. Piano music created a calming atmosphere in the lounge area.
Service
8/10
The staff was friendly and caring when they had time to assist. I noticed the staff tried to accommodate requests despite being busy (especially during peak hours). The receptionists were cute and helpful upon arrival.
