Top Ballymena Showgrounds Hotel Reviews

The Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast

10/10 Excellent

"Good food"

Leonardo Hotel Belfast

8/10 Good

"Room was nice and spacious,"

Ocean View Pods

10/10 Excellent

"These beautiful ocean view pods are exactly like the images you see online. The view is gorgeous and there's nothing better than waking up to that sunrise over the water. It's magical! The pods and the grounds were clean, it's so peaceful there. I highly recommend this amazing experience!"

Dunsilly Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I would recommend hotel"

Galgorm

10/10 Excellent

"Quality of facilities, staff attentiveness and good attitude. Loves the fridge being restocked each day for free. The hot tubs, pools and cabanas were brilliant. Breakfast in the river room."

Adair Arms Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for 1 night after attending a wedding in Ballymena. The hotel has a welcoming, comfortable feel about it as a first impression and, the staff were very helpful from the start. Our room was OK but the bathroom a bit tired looking. Breakfast choices very good."

The Rabbit Hotel & Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Had a fabulous stay at the Rabbit. The rooms in particular are lovely and decorated to a high spec. Worth booking the slightly bigger room as they are very spacious! Spa is fantastic and not over crowded or anything. Will definitely be back!"

Doubletree by Hilton Belfast Templepatrick

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and comfortable! The staff was helpful and very kind. My only complaint was really about breakfast and the availability of fresh coffee! We stayed about a week and ate breakfast in the hotel almost every morning. The buffet never changed!! So it was pretty tiring after a few days of eating the same thing over and over. Also, you couldn’t get coffee before 7a (when breakfast started) so if you were an early riser or had an early tour - no coffee for you!"

Ballygally Castle

10/10 Excellent

"What an Irish gem. Anyone staying around Belfast make the trip to Ballygally Castle. The entire stay was amazing with great spacious rooms and the best of views. A great beach for walking and such friendly people."
