Was very worried about staying at this hotel after reading the terrible reviews but we shouldn’t have worried. We had no complaints about this hotel. Lovely old hotel right on the river in Ballina. Yes it is a little bit dated and tired but it’s a lovely hotel. Our room was very big and overlooking the river which we requested. The bed was super comfortable and we had no noise to disturb us in the night. The shower was really good. Housekeeping came in each day to service the room. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. They were short staffed so were doing all the jobs between them but were still happy and friendly. The food at breakfast was very tasty and plenty of it. Served each morning to your table so no getting up for anything. The fire alarm went off one morning at 6.45 but soon stopped. Apparently it was in the kitchen and a bit of a false alarm but even so you can’t complain. If there had have been a real fire at least you’d be aware and able to exit the hotel. Apologies were made at breakfast but to me it wasn’t a problem. Can’t be helped. We just went back to bed. All in all a great stay and would definitely stay again if ever we returned to Ballina.More
