Hotels near The Rock Bar in Antrim

I just spent two nights at ETAP Belfast and I can’t say anything bad about it! Though the rooms are small, it’s fair for the price! What is the best in this hotel is the staff! Always cheerful and keen to help, really professional! Especially Nathan, the receptionist that was working when I arrived! So polite and always making small talk which is very good and makes us feel comfortable. He is the cherry on top of the cake, if there’s any chance make sure he knows about it! He made my 3 day holiday worth it. Thank you Nathan 😍

On arrival we were impressed by the decor. Staff at reception very nice. Room nice and modern. Was very disappointed with our lunch experience in the bar however. The chicken sandwich was in dry bread, with butter Mayo and chicken only. No garnish, no lettuce even in sandwich. Not what you’d expect from a 4* hotel! The next let down was the milk for my coffee which I had to order at the bar as no one came to check on us or clear dishes for some time. The milk was delivered in a cup because there were no milk jugs, in a 4* hotel! The staff were under pressure and were getting grief from one family waiting on their food so I didn’t add to the staffs stress. Pool is great but tiles are slippy and it’s on the cool side.

I was in the hotel last month with my boyfriend. We had best time of our lifes. The location of hotel is really nice. View from our room was stunning, we could watch the beautiful Belfast at night! Also…… Observatory! We had the best drinks, served by such amazing people. They create perfect team, with such amazing atmosphere. We are going to come back every year, just to taste those drinks, and watch the amazing view. Observatory is the heart of this hotel! X

Arrived in a taxi from the airport and Checked in around 3pm. The reception staff were very alert to guest arriving from the front door. Jennifer at reception checked me in very efficiently, advised me of the breakfast times and asked if I would like to book a slot. Shortly afterwards gave me an information sheet and I was off to my room. The Room I was in was the standard king with city view. The room was bigger than expected. It had everything you need. A king bed, a large tv, enough space to put my belongings, a spacious 3 piece toilet with amenities and floor to ceiling windows which had view as far as the hills beyond. We had dinner that night at the hotel restaurant called Novelli at city quays. A separate review is on their trip advisor page. That night we ended up in the bar after going out exploring. I decided to have some gin and asked what they recommended. One of the nice bartender advised the short cross gin which I never tried and is now becoming one of my favourites. Am sorry I never caught your name. But Paul who was also working that night rang it through the till should know who you are. Paul was great too, he was kept very busy that night. Everyone was great. Special mention to Mary who remembered what I drank when I asked for another. Morning came and so did breakfast. There was a large variety of hot and cold food. From sausages, bacon and eggs, to toast, cheese and ham. Also plenty of tea, coffee and juices to choose from. Next time I come back I will make sure I book an upgraded room with a view of the river. Overall a fantastic night that couldn’t be faulted. Well recommend.

My stay was amazing. From the moment I checked in it was great and on point. Charles really made me feel at home. Enjoyed the breakfast as well as their service. Lookin forward to stay at Keef Halla again

A very well-located hotel. The lobby also looks quite nice! Check-in was smooth. The room was spacious; since we booked a family room, there was also a sofa. Overall, we were very satisfied with the room. However, it's worth mentioning that the sink in the bathroom was clogged, which made it impossible to use, and it was also leaking. The soundproofing was not good; we could hear people talking in the next room. There were a lot of people checking out in the morning. I hope there can be improvements!

Been staying in Hilton in Belfast for couple days, I really liked hotel, lovely staff, nice food , nice rooms, the only thing I really didn’t liked, how rooms is being cleaned during your stay, if you can even say they are clean because seems that staff only empty bins and change towels and that’s it, during 4 days nothing else was cleaned, dusts wasn’t cleaned, bathroom wasn’t washed even thought it was dirty , toothpaste in sink and hairs on the floor, shower glass dirty, bathroom dirty , staff that supposed to clean it but just left it like that, didn’t even hoovered bathroom floors. I never been in hotel with such a bad housekeeping. This is really a shame because everything else about hotel I really loved.

We recently returned from our third visit to Clandeboye Lodge in the last twelve months. As with the previous times it was immensely enjoyable and relaxing. No other hotel we have stayed in has the same atmosphere of warmth and friendliness. All the staff - from Sarah, Claire and Maggie in reception to Ryan, Shana and others in the restaurant and bar - are exceptional. All needs and requests are catered for with genuine enthusiasm and concern for your well-being. The open plan lounge, restaurant and bar areas provide numerous corners for relaxing during the day and before and after meals. We have never seen this achieved to such good effect anywhere else. Bedrooms are tastefully decorated and very quiet. The latter being something the Clandeboye pays great attention to. The food is also exceptional. We will write a separate review on this. Our love of Clandeboye is also shared by our extended family. So much so that we have a WhatsApp group called ‘We love the Clandeboye’ ! The Clandeboye’s byline is ‘A place apart’. This it most surely is! We look forward to our next visit!
