"We were concerned that when the fire alarm went off at 10.40 pm no staff were on the stairs saying it was a false alarm. We were in 4th floor and were fast asleep at the time. Swimming pool very good but members behaved like they owned it on the two occasions I used it."

"Best hotel we have stayed in when visiting family in Cliftonville over the past 2.5 years. If we were being picky then asked for decaf tea but actually given green tea, so had to be thrown away and no cranberry juice at the bar. Overall, it was an excellent hotel and definitely where we will be staying when we visit again. Staff were very helpful and a credit to the hotel."
