Stayed in the hotel last weekend for my partners 30th birthday and I have to say I loved it. We took are 4 year old daughter with us and she loved it as well, the staff were so friendly and helpful from reception staff to bar/ restaurant staff and even the house keepers. They had family films for the kids in a meeting room which give my daughter something to look forward to, which was nice. The food was amazing the two days we stayed and the breakfast was lovely to, although I will say this if u go down half and hour before breakfast finishes be prepared for slim pickings. The living well part is pretty straight forward, a nice sized pool and changing area and also a sauna and steam room, and for the fitness freaks the gym is OK it's more for runners not weight lifters. Our room was a nice size for what we needed and the view from the window was beautiful as we were looking over the whole golf course and driving range. I will definitely be back soon. read more

This hotel in Northern Ireland has a great look and sits on a golf course with a putting green and driving range. Nice spa services, workout facilities and swimming pool. I checked in this afternoon and a wedding reception was taking place in one of the buildings. The staff was very friendly and helped get me settled in a bit early. I like the brick interior of the hallways. I enjoyed just walking around the grounds. It was gusty winds and a misty rain in the air, but coming from Arizona, that is a welcome sight. I ordered room service and although it was slightly longer than the 30 minutes they indicated, the food was great. I had the Chicken Tikka Marsala and my friend the beef lasagna with salad. I ordered Coke Zero, but was brought Diet Coke. Not too big of a deal, but not correct. For dessert, I went with the chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream. It also came with chocolate pudding that could be added to the cake. Damn, it was good! Happy finish indeed! The one thing that is a little odd is the bed situation. I ordered 2 queen beds and it more closely resembles two cots with wheels. Let's just say that you couldn't really have much fun, if you know what I mean. If you are not overly close with person/people sharing your room, you will be after staying here. While the beds are separate, they are side by side and basically one large bed. read more

OK. Lately I have turned into a bit of a tight wad, or 'careful' as my Mother would have said. However, I feel on this occasion I am more than justified to give the Hilton in Templepatrick one star, in fact not even a star...why??? In the bar they have a Costa Coffee Corner, none of the pastries or food, just a coffee machine, we went in and were charged £3.10 for a bloody coffee!!!! THREE POUNDS TEN!!!!!!!!! For a plain black coffee. I near had a stroke. Not to mention that this wasn't served in a nice pot with a biscuit, it was in a Costa paper cup and NO biscuit. In the Merchant Hotel a silver service coffee is £2.50 and a free refill. Wont be going there again. Tight arses. read more

My colleague and I joined lots of other delegates at an evening seminar/lecture in the Castle Upton Suite. Set in wonderful surrounds and in great conference/function suite it meets all the needs required. Before the seminar we had a lovely buffet meal of Thai chicken, rice, salad, coleslaw, cheesecake and coffee. Great venue for business!! read more

Although I can't comment on the accommodation at the Hilton (having never stayed here overnight) I have been in a number of times for some refreshments mid afternoon / early evening and I've found the bar to be a pleasant enough experience. I wouldn't make a habit of it seeing as the prices are hotel standard (i.e. mega bucks!) for example last time I called in we ordered an Americano which was £4.10 and a mocha which was £4.35. I like coffee, but not that much! Particularly as it isn't even that good...I don't mind paying for proper, quality drinks but instant coffee mixed with water, isn't really my cuppa *boom boom* Apart from the over priced drinks the Hilton does actually have a lot to offer. For breaks/stays, drinks, meals, gym, golf etc. Also, I spotted a notice for a liquidation auction recently (being held in the Hilton) and I decided I would call in to see what all the fuss was about (I shouldn't have bothered I must admit) on the positive side though The Hilton managed to lay the whole thing out very well and have it perfectly organised. Just a pity there wasn't more worth while stock being sold off. This hotel is close to the airport and so it great for tourists wanting a countryside resort. See my previous review for the complete facilities on offer here. read more

I didn't really know this hotel existed until I stayed in it for the first time. I went here on the first day of my honeymoon as it was really handy to the airport....Oh I'm jealous of myself...it was just so good.... On arrival we were escorted to our room where they had some champagne and tasty treats... tip - Any hotel you ever go to..you may as well try your luck and say your on your honeymoon.. Also all hotel guests get complimentary passes to the gym and swimming facilities....awesome!!!! I remember going for dinner in the restaurant and I had the pork crackling and it was probably the best meal I have ever had...not kidding it was better than anything... My final great point was that the hotel offer a free taxi to the airport...genius!!! read more

Like a lot of hotels, I can only review this one on the grounds that I went to a wedding here once. There are quite a few venues in the Templepatrick area, but this one is among the best of them. The grounds are simply stunning, and while the fundtion room itself isn't really anything too special, the food is great, which is probably more important! I'm not sure how expensive it is compared to other venues, but it's definitely worth a look if you're in the market. Also, my brother-in-law is a member of the gym up there and he absolutely loves it. I think it's slightly pricier than a Fitness First or something, but according to him, the quality is better, so it's probably worth it! read more

Older hotel with beautiful green golf course views, friendly staff, cozy bar with great drink and food offerings. Full Irish Breakfast, cheery chef who smiles & greeted guests with samples of smoothie/yogurt. Walking around the grounds was the best part. Seeing the private Castle behind the hotel which has abundance of sheep grazing on the grasses while peacocks can be heard in distance. Things to be improved? A/C needed in rooms as it can get stuffy. The window opens slightly but not enough, I asked for a fan which they provided upon request. Mattress could be more comfy. Otherwise a nice quiet peaceful stay. We absolutely loved touring Belfast! Thanks Hilton Kirkpatrick! read more

Like most of the Hilton chain, this hotel has high standards. In particuler, being a country club too, the Templepatrick Hilton has a golf club, a swimming pool, gym, bar and restaurant. The Living Well gym is currently being refurbished (Nov/Dec 2008). Originally it was a Trust House Forte hotel when it opened. It's smart building with many rooms, but never feels anonymous. The staff are welcoming and are pleased to help. If you a are expecting an old style country club with reindeer mounts on the wall, you will be disappointed. Rooms are modern and comfortable, some fitted with desks, though they can be a little on the small side. The restaurant has a good enough quality for food, in my mind the execution is not there, but the carvery is popular with families. Overall it's a good hotel for this part of the country and is well situated to get to Belfast or Larne. read more

A family affair had us here. 3 days, 4 rooms, half board. Big, cosy rooms, large TV, tea & instant coffee & tasty, butter shortcake biscuits. Check in friendly & fast. Two rooms ready at 2pm. We're a taxing lot all the time. Staff met lots of our needs most all the time with a smile. Soon after arrival we lunched, 10 including a baby. Genuine open & welcoming staff; our kids ate free on our half board deal. Most of the food was to our taste. Any criticisms (we're a critical lot) were dispelled by genuinely friendly staff who treated us so well from arrival to we left. Post lunch we were off to the pool & steam bath. Both deserve mention. We got big luxury towels. Pool & steam bath ace perfect. The damp heat temperature meant this is the best steam bath I've had for as long as I recall. I enjoyed it hugely. Pool heat was ideal. I tried their sauna but personal taste I'm not a dry heat fan; comes of living in cool & damp. We grow up used to damp. In time we rust, rheumatism, arthritis, lumbago all impact. If I lived nearby I'd join the spa. It had one downside in the changing area leaving the spa: the ceiling air con blew cold air. It may be ok in ambient temperature say 30c but cool days make it unpleasant, it should blow warm on cool days for comfort or off. I'm Taurean I like comfort. Taureans are obstinate, exasperatingly self-righteous, ultraconservative, unoriginal, argumentative, querulous bores, stuck in self-centered ruts. I'll retain my bad points. We did mess about on their golf course. The best of us lot are lousy golfers. But what a fun way to pass a few hours with curious kids. The food had high & a few lowlights; l'll be picky: chef must focus on making soups more intense tasting, those we had were on the wrong side of tasty. Salad leaves (Caesar salads) must be stored to stay crisp & fresh. A nightly gripe was long delays in service post ordering evening meals due to kids being tired, same for repeat drink orders. Those who had steak (rump at extra charge) said first rate. My sea bass night 1 & haddock (fish n chip) mains night 2 were very good. I had the haddock with champ over chips. The champ was under-seasoned, lukewarm yet the haddock was perfectly seasoned before cooking. It was the finest lightest battered haddock I've enjoyed in so very long. It was also smoked but didn't say so on the menu. I was pleased, others may dislike smoked fish. A live duo played Saturday night. Too loud for me. I felt the guy was in pain and wished to inflict us too. I did Taureans proud I stuck it a half hour, only to flee partially & temporarily deaf. Breakfasts great, but like most hotels the sausage, bacon, eggs, black pud were all cheap stuff. With their buying power they should strive for free range and say so. That apart if you don't find something to your taste here you're likely the problem. To be picky croissants were pretty solid, I prefer lightness. The coffee tasted fab. We ordered poached & fried eggs & mushrooms: all good. Breakfast pancakes for kids would go down well if they could? We had great tasting afternoon coffees from their Costa bar. It's pricy, well over £3 for small Americano, lattes & cappuccinos. Even Irish Ferries Costa is cheaper! While latte shouldn't be near the cost of a pint of beer there's two sides: guests need a deal but this well staffed, cosy hotel must profit. It's not beyond creativity to offer tea/coffee/cake deals to sweeten this? After all it has ingredients, chefs, professional kitchens, just need the will (oh and my fee if you use my ideas). Complimentary coffee & tea at check out was great too. Great staff push it to 5 star. read more

We go to the carvery on a Sunday every now and then but the last few times have been very poor. We tried to book for 12pm but were told they were booked up until 1pm. When we got there just before one, half the room was empty and there were no hot starters left, and the chef didn't want to fill the section up. The carvery is open to 3pm, and Health and Safety regulations say that food must be replaced after an hour anyway so they replaced with more starters. We went for the main meal and the chef made a cheeky comment about us complaining that there were no starters. The main was decent. By the time we got to dessert, there was very little left, only profiteroles or ordering ice cream. Very poor from a hotel when the carvery wasn't closing for another hour and a half. read more

Don't don't don't stay here!!! Hotel is about 20 years old and they've done nothing to update. The place is in dire need of a good updating and major cleaning. We are still in shock that this was in fact a Hilton hotel. The golf course and bar area were great but the buck stops there. If you like a bright, clean and cheery room this is not your place. read more

Very nice facilities, with a gym, swimming pool, golf course and driving range. Using the in-room internet will cost you £15 per day. However, you can buy a 90-min voucher from the front desk and use the lobby wifi for £5. For some reasons beyond me, they have one provider for in-room internet access and another for the wifi. read more

Nice hotel set in a beautiful area. Rooms comfortable and well equiped. Staff very helpfull and friendly. Food in resturant is good.

I went to a wedding at this hotel and was far from impressed. The drinks were incredibly expensive, the service was nothing special and we found that the reception was being held in a tiny room in the bowels of the building. The reception area etc has the feeling of an airport, due to the size of the hotel. As a hotel to visit, the Hilton just seems to be too big for its own good and - bearing in mind that it is in the middle of nowhere - there's no justification for the city centre prices. read more

I went here for my wedding anniversary and stayed overnight in a room overlooking the golf course. We got a deal by looking online then ringing them. """""""""The meal in the restaurant was brilliant and the best service ive seen from a restarant staff in a long time, ok the drink was overprice but its what i would expect to pay. Sadly we should have prebooked the treatments in the country club attachede before hand as they were fully booked but guests could use the swimming pool and liesure suite at no extra charge.breakfast next morning was a buffet all you could eat and there was everything you could think of very relaxed atmosphere i would def go back here and its not far cfrom the city center to go shopping on the way home read more

I stayed at the Hilton Hotel at the weekend and can I can say I was not all that impressed. The room smelt like a dirty nappy. The layout of the new lounge is very airport like not very comfortable. The service of the staff is very poor. Ordered wine and it took nearly 25 minutes before the waiter remembered our order same. The same thing the next morning at breakfast was told someone would come to offer us tea or coffee and waited about 20 minutes approached a member of staff who was about to set a table and told me they would be with me when they had finished to give them a few minutes. Waited over 15 and then they remembered after i had give them a bit of a glare to remind them. the food in the restaurant was not great and overpriced. read more
