Great Northern Hotel Review

The location of this hotel is great and very scenic and close to alot of activities and attractions.
The actual hotel is a bit run down in my opinion. It needs a complete refurb. The room we were in was near the swimming pool and the corridor smelt of damp. The tv in the room had limited channels with poor sound and picture. We ate in the bar and the food was average at best. We went to the bar in the evening and it was overrun with children even though they are not supposed to be in there after 9. I was waiting around 10 mins to be served and during this time numerous children were served (soft drinks) before me. In the end i had to leave as the children were mostly unsupervised and unruly.
The only positive i can think of in the hotel was the swimming pool.
Would be very unlikely that we would stay here again.

I wasn't impressed with this hotel the food took ages to come and it was mediocre i had to use the disabled toilet and the toilet paper holder was on the far wall how if your disabled are you expected to reach it needs to be sorted ASAP

Had breakfast in it once.its sister hotel the hollyrood would be better.

Comfortable, good food good pool, lovely and helpful staff!

Within al most one hour for dinner not good enough

Great location near the cliff walk and away from the town. Very comfortable reception area for a break in your travels.

Excellent hotel staff very helpful and bedrooms up to a high standard.

Fantastic hotel, beautiful views, very helpful and welcoming staff, restaurant food was amazing.... Would highly recommend and definitely will come back again.

Fab friendly hotel, great service, lovely rooms, Netflix on room TV. Food good, lovely spot overall

The hotel from outside is gorgeous the rooms are not bad even if they are old-fashioned but the location is wonderful .. they are not very organized unfortunately in the restaurant service also because the expectations were higher

Lovely Polite people who are happy to help lovely organised leisure Center and hangy park for any bored kids even though you cant get board with the amazing fair beside it and beach also a cool fairy bridge and wishing chair which is also good good holiday for the whole family and the best thing is you can t get bored

Defiantly not a 4 hotel. Room not as we booked but was adequate. Food very limited for such a big hotel. The staff were helpful.

Good hotel for location. Very dated not modern. And reception staff not very pleasent

Booked a last minute room here due to the storm Lorenzo and not wanting to stay in campervan with baby. They were very helpful and accommodating, every member of staff we met were friendly. The hotel is clean and looked after. Yes it is a little dated in areas but I feel that is its traditional charm. Dinner was nice and reasonably priced. Use of spa included too which was great. Would stay here again, feel it was good value for money.

Love this hotel it has lovely views of the ocean it is close to shops and amusements and it is right next to the beach

Staff are very helpful friendly and welcoming. The hotel is currently upgrading and the upgrades are very good. It has a cosy old school feel with modern facilities. I would recommend a stay here

The facilities and location are great. The room we stayed in was a little tired, but they are renovating. Breakfast was ok, but nothing stood out.

Dinner was first class in the bar lovely atmosphere and social distancing is being adhered to

This is a beautiful hotel and the most exclusive hotel in Bundoran. It is off on its own, not on the main street so no traffic but still not far to walk to the main street. It is beside the beach. Good for couples

Loved this hotel. Rooms are nice and staff could not be anymore helpful. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Can not speak highly enough about this hotel. It was like home from home. Great place to take the family. Very friendly staff, clean and great food. I can say no more.

Hotel fine but a lot of steps to bedroom for someone with disabilities in walking

Lovely Hotel, Very Pleasant,Helpful Staff Along With General Manager Karen

Love this hotel my self and husband visit many times a year and is never disappointed the staff is so lovely everyone but have to say we have a soft spot for Amanda she so lively food omg breakfast you wont need anything untill the evening I feel so secure in hotel I have actually booked myself and another member of staff and 2 residents from where I work in a nursing home from aghalee for learning disabilities and nothing was to much bother even though I rang them numerous times . And they have put everything in place we need cant wait till 4th July x

Best hotel I've been to so relaxing swimming pool lovely

As always a very pleasant experience. The bar staff are especially helpful and nice to talk to. Eddie comes immediately to mind! Thanks

The great northern is a lovely hotel with very friendly staff and beautiful food. I will be back again.

A very nice hotel. Never stayed in it. We only called in to have some lunch after a tramp round Bundoran and along the beach. We had a good feed and hot and cold drinks and it was all very reasonably priced. In fact a lot cheaper than I expected for the grand establishment that it portrays itself

stayed 1 night while on business locally.

Pool & gym were nice, room clean, breakfast wasn't greasy, was tasty!

Staff were very friendly and helped me with the local area, so much so I felt the need to leave this review :)

If I am ever in the area again on business this will be my hotel of choice.

Well deserving of a 5 star rating...with Amanda on reception was a credit to the great Northern hotel and would be on my top 2 of receptionists who should receive an award for her professionalism and attention to detail...the accommodation and the scenery is second to non...its a must visit

A beautiful place. Would highly recommend a weekend away.

Lovely hotel. The Relaxing reception area is very large with plenty of soft sofas and an open fire. The food in the restaurant was beautiful but I can't say the same for the bar food. A lot of our food in the bar was over cooked and hard. It's a pity because over all its a beautiful building with fantastic views.

Great place.
Needs more country music nights!!

Nice hotel. Amazing scenery and views. Well situated a short walk into bundorans main attractions. Rooms nice but really noisy at night. Could hear everything from the corridors and all the doors seem to slam closed which wasn't great for keeping a 1 year old asleep at night. Food was lovely. Although for some reason a full fry for breakfast was served on what can only be described as a baby plate which made it a bit awkward to eat. Still enjoyed it tho. had a 4 course evening meal one night which was amazing

Really beautiful venue with friendly service and free WiFi was very nice.

Good night out with some friends, although they were a little slow to get us somewhere to sit, but they got there in the end

This hotel is in no way 4 star . Aside from the location and staff friendliness, the actual hotel is horrible. The whole place is dated (and not in a good way). Our room was dirty, had numerous outlets that didn t function, had a tv that was hanging onto the wall for dear life, and didn t have simple amenities that you would expect of a 2-star hotel, such as a hair dryer, hand lotion, 2 ply toilet roll, or a fan/air-con. I wouldn t recommend this place whatsoever and will never stay here again.

My pint was not filled adequately . Food nice, servers efficient.
However this hotel has a lovely old world welcoming atmosphere which cannot be replicated or indeed experienced very often.
Staff are very welcoming to families .
I would recommend this hotel .
Don't forget to walk around Rougey .

Just got home today after what should have been a 3 night break ! loved it so much we stayed an extra night. Hotel was beautiful with stunning views of the sea from our room
I recommend booking a sea view. The staff were great really friendly especially Deirdre on reception and Tara in the bar well done ladies. Food was delicious we will definitely be back

Nice hotel next door to Bundoran golf course. Clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely pool. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous Hotel very friendly staff and wonderful food would highly recommend it

Great hotel for a relaxing break. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room has a lovely sea view and is a good size room with comfortable beds. Breakfast was very good. There is also a gym and swimming pool, which is free to hotel guests. Will be back again and would definitely recommend this hotel.

With the corona virus regulation the staff were wonderful made sure your stay was as normal as possible from management reception dining room to bar. We had our family and grand children.Every one thoroughly enjoyed themselves especially the grandchildren they were looked after fantastically in the dining room and then the play ground in the hotel and the seaside so convenient.

Great place. Great value for money. Menu and food in the bar amazing. Breakfast could be better .

Very relaxing and friendly ... ideal for a family .. staff are very helpful

Staff is very friendly.food is great.loveley place.would like to go again.

Lovely hotel. Nice and peaceful with lovely views out overlooking the Atlantic with lots of surfers and huge waves. Staff very friendly and meals out of this world. Would recomend this hotel to anyone.5 stars all round.

Family of 4, stayed 9th-11th July. Very well set up to manage such a large hotel, given Covid-19 restrictions in place. Sanitizer stations throughout, and all areas had clear signs. Booking essential for pool, bar, restaurant, but once you know this in advance, this is not a problem. Staff were very visibly making a huge effort to clean and sanitize.

Such friendly, easy going and helpful staff, anything we needed was no problem. Enjoyed a birthday cake in the restaurant, where all the floor staff came out singing happy birthday :)

Would definitely recommend, and will return also. A truly beautiful part of the country.

We totally enjoyed our stay on new years eve, that we decided to stay for another night. Location Is Superb. Very cosy hotel and excellent staff.

Lovely hotel. Excellent food... Very friendly staff..We were in the Executive Suite..Wow Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend staying there..

The hotel was spotless we had 2nite b and b with a dinner the. Dinner was not great it was bad. Breakfast was on hot plates on Bank Holiday Monday but the food was cold.On Tuesday breakfast was fine. Room 101 has no view except lower roof with vents

The Receptionists were very helpful and very friendly. The breakfast was excellent and leisure centre was the best l did have a good time .l will be back and thank you for your hospitality

The staff are wonderful and friendly, it's an old hotel and shows its age in places but wow the views!!

A bit run down in area's. It's Dated. Not enough care given to cleaning windows. Pool table is neglected as are the walls Of the pool table room. Which is a pity as it's free and something to do when raining. Stains on the ceiling of room. Beddings were average, no sheets on top.. service was good, Very helpful. Dinner was delicious.

Very friendly staff, a good atmosphere and a lovely location

fantastic location, splendid view from the room but it is a bit small with small bathroom with need for sanitary improvements; great charm of the elegant hotel of the end of the century, good service, more than acceptable cuisine and excellent breakfast; free wifi and, above all, working
