10/10 Excellent
"A wonderful stay at the Canal Court Hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which is always a bonus when you're travelling with a toddler. Our room was large and clean, and had everything we needed. The breakfast was just right, with a good mix of continental options and cooked breakfast made to order. The bar had a lovely relaxed atmosphere on Sunday night, with good live music and plenty of space to sit and relax."

"Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Beds are exceptionally comfortable, I kept on sleeping throughout the day and night. Unfortunately, didn’t get to watch the football on the tv as was waiting for the supervisor to come off his break but ended up sleeping, so was probably best and wifi was good enough to watch the more interesting match on my phone."

Haslem Hotel

8/10 Good
"This was a great place to stay in Lisburn and as a base for a long weekend. It is very central and has a car park underneath which you pay for. The hotel is clean and well maintained, although personally I don’t like the exposed pipes and air conditioning systems ( quite common these days - why not hide them behind a ceiling??) The bedroom was large and a lovely big bed, large bathroom, strong shower and nice toiletries. There was a kettle, but no sign of the coffee machine that was supposed to be there. I enquired about it to housekeeping, but got a vague reply. Not an issue though. Breakfast was a buffet at the weekend and very good. It set us up for the day. We had to ask for crockery to be replenished and some items, but the staff was busy. We also ate in the hotel restaurant one night and it was very nice. The staff members in reception and the bar and restaurant were very friendly and helpful and that makes such a good impression. We would definitely stay here again if in the area."

"Nice facility-friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant was very good. The spa was excellent. Centrally located and an abundance of self parking. The front desk was extremely helpful in finding us another room as the first one didn’t meet our requirements. It obviously is very popular/busy as a consequence it’s looking a little tired and worn. It could use some minor maintenance-eg paint, cleaning the grout in the showers, etc. We would definitely stay at the hotel again."
