"Was not sure what to expect as last minute decision to stay but we were very happy with the tucked away room we got. Lovely fit out / safe etc pub food was really appreciated as well. Would stay at again."
"Not much to look at as you drive up, Very friendly staff. Restaurant was very nice, lovely food and staff and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was very nice and cooked to order. Room was basic but clean and warm. "
"Lovely apartment. We had a really nice few days here. No allocated parking, but we never had a problem finding a space close by. Good to have a shop so close (literally under our feet.)
Facilities were good; enough kitchen utensils, pans, etc. that we could cook meals with no problems. Nice bathroom and excellent lounge area. Seating area and space outside as well if the weather permits.
Nice area to walk around as well, with harbour and coast very close by.
The location is a bit off the beaten...

Strangford Arms Hotel Newtownards
10/10 Excellent
"Great little hotel, excellent parking, and easy access to a major shopping mall.
Hotel staff are very friendly and most helpful, I would especially like to mention a young lady whose name I believe is Elisha, who went above and beyond to help me during my stay.
I would also like to mention in dispatches, for their great work ethic, Darren and Paul.

"We were very pleased with our stay at Maldron Hotel. The location is excellent, I gave it a 4 star on area around the hotel only because it is in the City Centre, and there were a few sketchy looking people walking around, but in spite of that, the location was excellent! It was near many restaurants. Some special touches were that there were bathrobes, slippers, and an iron in the room. Boxes of water, coffee, and several different kinds of cookies were also provided. The room was immaculately clean. I would definitely stay here again, and I will recommend it to anyone traveling to Belfast. "
"Amazing stay as always. Welcoming reception staff on arrival. Wished our son a happy birthday. Clean room and nice touch having bathrobes for all the family. Spa facilities great and very clean. We had free cupcakes delivered to the room for my son’s birthday which was a nice touch. Good selection of food at breakfast. We will definitely be back. "
"Everything about the property I liked, cleanliness, location and very comfortable. The only complaint would be that the breakfast could be better. I am looking forward to staying there again."
"Had a good stay hotel staff very friendly and nice, bar staff very unfriendly namely the food and beverage supervisor seemed like he didn’t want to be there standing behind the bar and not serving customers or picking and choosing who to serve first needs to be retrained on customer service and be more welcoming. This happened on the 15/8/25 and I think it could be a reason the bar was quiet at that time."
