Top Ballymena Showgrounds Hotel Reviews

The Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent experience! We had a great time, the hotel was great, very well located, we loved the breakfast and the staff were very helpful."

Leonardo Hotel Belfast

8/10 Good

"They have a fairly good breakfast with a good amount of options, but it was inconsistent as to what was available from one day to the next. The breakfast area was clearly understaffed as they could not keep up with clearing and cleaning tables, nor keeping the buffet adequately stocked. The room was somewhat clean, stains on the carpet made it appear otherwise. This was a good value and well located for visiting the area."

Maldron Hotel Belfast City

10/10 Excellent

"Very central good bars close by"

Holiday Inn Express Antrim by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly helpful staff, quiet rooms and comfy beds"

Dunadry Hotel and Gardens

8/10 Good

"Convenient to Belfast international airport however our flight was delayed by almost 2 hours so we couldn’t really get to enjoy the whole hotel. Having to leave early next morning also meant we couldn’t enjoy our stay this time but we’ll stay again in the near future as it is a really pleasant spot to stay."

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!"

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!"

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."
