Lovely Hotel in a great position

Review of Golflinks Hotel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 1 May 2023via mobile
This hotel is well situated near Portrush Golf Club. The staff on reception and in the restaurant were great. The rooms are modern and enormous. Reason for not giving 5* was that the handle to open the window was broken, the hotel obviously knew this as it was on the table in the room. Also, the shower leaked. I have reported the faults and the staff apologised.

The food in the restaurant was fine but nothing exceptional. The helpings were massive as evidenced by the number of people I saw asking for a "doggy bag". There is no need for such large portions as they could put less on the plate, charge the same and so make more profit.

I would stay here again.

Reviewed 30 April 2023 via mobile

Two weeks ago, we spent five nights at Golflinks Hotel in Portrush. I recommend it highly. It’s a relatively small hotel, but beautifully appointed and it has a full restaurant and bar with excellent food and service. Rooms were clean and fresh, and the location is convenient and scenic.

When we first arrived, Matthew greeted us and was so kind, funny, and helpful, that he quickly made us feel at home. Over the next five days, we continued to be impressed by the staff and facilities. Shannon was knowledgeable about the area, Lorraine was kind enough to drive us to see sheep :), and Stephen provided us with help and transportation a few times as well. The truly impressive part about the hotel is the staff teamwork that was shown. They all pitched in together - no job too big or too small - and it almost felt like we were staying with a big family. Grace, Faith, and Misha all showed us kindnesses, too, and we were grateful to them all.

I don’t know when I’ve come away from a place having gotten to know so many staff members by name or feeling genuinely sorry to be leaving them.

As I write this, I’m at the airport heading back to Florida, and of all the places we’ve been in the past three weeks, it is the folks at Golflinks that are standing out in my mind as those that I am so pleased that we had the opportunity to meet. Thanks so much to you all!

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay here last week. The staff are really helpful and overall the place is excellent. Annoying that the bathroom light comes on when trying to sleep but that's about all we can fault. Ryan on the bar for the first night was really attentive and gave us loads of information about where to visit in Portrush. Will definitely return next time we visit NI.

The entire experience from booking to checking out was excellent. The room and the second floor was extremely comfortable and well equipped. We had a meal as part of the deal , service was fantastic and the food well presented and tasty. Special mention has to be made about the staff who were amazing, friendly, enthusiastic and very well trained. Thank you for everything we will definitely be back .

Stayed here for one night due to the hotel we normally stay in Portrush being unavailable. I’m so glad it was otherwise we would have missed out on this gem.

Cannot rate this hotel highly enough. The staff, the room, and the food were all excellent. The rooms have been renovated and were spotless. They were decorated beautifully and had many little extra touches.

We had an evening meal here as pack of our package and even though the restaurant was packed the service and the quality of the food were fantastic.

Thank you to all the staff for making our stay first class but a special shout out goes to Sophie in the restaurant who went above and beyond to make our dinner (and also our breakfast!) a wonderful experience.

Thank you Golflinks hotel. We will be back.

Really enjoyed our visit to the Golflinks Hotel and cannot speak highly enough of the hotel and staff. The facility itself is modern, clean, comfortable with bars, restaurants and even takeaway options. Our room was very clean and the bed was comfortable with tea/expresso coffee facilities, iron/board etc. all the usual comforts and we had a quiet nights sleep apart from a few raised voices as a couple walked along the hotel corridor.
A special mention must go to the staff who, at all times, were helpful (despite being very busy)... thank you guys.
We will definitely stay here again.
