We had a lovely stay at The Nines. The location was great and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the characterful old building with its stairs winding in different directions, and our room was light and comfortable. We appreciated the tea and coffee in the room. Although breakfast isn't included in the price, we had a very good vegetarian Irish breakfast in the restaurant, so I recommend trying that!

We were quite amused to have a fire exit in our room, but looking at the fire safety plan the door was supposed to be just for us (rather than our room just being a corridor for everyone to use in the case of a fire drill etc.) so not an issue. The website makes it look like the rooms are all really fancy, and our room was definitely on the more homely side, but that wasn't a problem for us. We found it a really sweet place, but don't come here expecting a 4 star city hotel, it's not that. It's a historic building, and it has more character for it.

Stayed here for my birthday. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast the next morning. The food was 10/10!! Our room was very modern with sea views. The bathroom was clean and had a lovely walk in shower. Mini shampoos and conditioners was a nice touch in the bathroom. I used to stay in the Nines years ago when it was called the Bangor Bay. I liked the way the hotel has been updated but it still has the charm and old features of the building. Can’t wait to come back!!

Everything is great..

WOW!!!! our room was fantastic, absolutely huge, beautifully appointed, classy decor and an amazing view. great shower, good quality toiletries. staff all super helpful, we loved it and would definitely visit again. Possibly the most power points in the right locations I've experienced in a hotel..and we travel a lot!! designed truly with guests convenience in mind!! 100/10

Not a dislike, just a good to point out, we understand this is an older building without a lift, but we managed fine, something to be aware of for other travellers. breakfasts were delicious, very large portions, so we treated it as brunch, but a continental selection would have been a good addition for those who prefer a lighter start to the day. There was nothing we disliked about our stay

Big room, excellent breakfast, really nice bathroom, lovely decor in bar and restaurant , friendly staff , comfy bed, very clean. Free parking in car park opposite hotel.

The hotel system did not show that breakfast was included so I had to show each morning my booking confirmation on booking.com, I messaged the hotel through booking.com to get them to add a comment but this did not show or happen so the next morning I had to explain to the staff member on breakfast that it was included on my booking, I did not like having to explain. Our room was not one of the ones that had been renovated so there were scuffs in the paint in places.

Staff were friendly and helpful, the location was perfect for my trip and the view was wonderful. I ate one evening meal in the restaurant, and the food was very good. I was staying through storm Éowyn, my room shook in the wind, but the windows didn't. I never felt any draft despite the 90mph gusts.

The building is showing its age a little, but that wasn't unexpected. It was not a problem m for me, but room access was all via steep stairs and that could pose a challenge for some guests.

Location Independence Well stocked with utensils etc. Looked well put together

Dark - paint colour made it very dark as only 2 windows. Not enough towels for 2 people 2 pillow cases looked like fake tan stains. Unable to use gardens - a couple of chairs & table would have been a nice touch No views No parking outside property Could hear the neighbours upstairs Discounts at The Nines would have gone down well

Comfortable room with cleaning and refreshment of drinks daily. Bed was lovely. Steve and the staff friendly and helpful. Lovely sea view out of the bedroom window . Close to the marina, shops and transport. Good quality food served all day.

It was difficult to close the big curtains. They need to be rehung with a better free flowing curtain track. The TV connection was loose and needs to be replaced. It will be a challenge to clean the recent pigeon poo off the window as it is so high up but necessary it is done ASAP I think.

The location is absolutely spot on as the view from the rooms at the front of the building over the harbour and sea are spectacular. Evening Supper Menu was good value for money. Loved the new refurbished room but a bit difficult getting to top floor.

I would have appreciated something plainer on the menu for breakfast ie egg on toast. The climb to top floor was difficult for me so can't wait for lower floor rooms to be refurbished.

Downstairs... lovely... outside and the view fab... So location... excellent... food... found expensive for what u got on ur plate... fish very small.... extra veg with the lamb would of been nice... Updating upstairs.... but our beds and bedding were comfy... has a lovely sleep...meet and greet at reception lovely warm welcome....

Clean room and clean towels both days... would of been nice to have bed made for the price.... fire exit door a bit off putting with the shattered glass door... I think iv wrote this the wrong way round ... as like and didn't like ... sori....

Lovely situation with great views of the sea from our top floor room. Nearby choices for breakfast if you wanted..

Down side with top floor was that there was no lift, and in your seventies that matters. Tight staircase to manoeuvre suitcases around. However the bar was very lively over the weekend so being well above that we didn't get disturbed
