Portrush Atlantic Hotel

8/10 Good
"Ottima sistemazione a pochi km dalle Giant's Causeway. L'hotel si trova praticamente e pochi passi dalla zona centrale della città. La stanza era abbastanza grande, i letti comodi ed anche la colazione al mattino era buona ed abbondante, sia dolce che salata. L'auto si può parcheggiare in strada, anche di fronte all'Hotel, ma occorre fare attenzione agli orari consentiti per il parcheggio gratuito. Gli addetti passano per controllare, quindi al di fuori degli orari gratuiti è bene verificare come provvedere al pagamento. Sotto l'hotel c'è anche un pub che come sempre è pieno di gente già dal tardo pomeriggio."
