Just before I start I’m not even sure the words I choose to write will do justice for this hotel. Me and my fiancée recently visited the Culloden to celebrate our engagement, on arrival we were presented with two cupcakes with congratulations written in chocolate on a plate in our room. Oh did I also mention the unexpected upgrade, this was totally unexpected but very much appreciated. The spa facilities are amazing and the place is so clean. Me and my fiancée visited this multiple times during our stay. We had a drink in the bar area, which was so relaxed and very reasonably priced. The selection of speciality teas as well as different coffees was excellent. The breakfast offering was amazing, there was so much choice on the self serve Buffett as well as the option to order extras like omelettes etc All of the staff we interacted with were so friendly and professional at all times. I suppose I should be unbiased and say some not too positive, the only thing I can really say is I was disappointed our stay had to end. We will certainly be returning though. This hotel offers a true five star experience for the price.

Loved the hotel. The artwork on display is interesting and quirky. The room was very comfortable although water pressure does need to be addressed. The staff were, without exception, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The food was of a high standard and very tasty. Many thanks to the chefs on Friday evening who provided a marvellous three course meal. Breakfast was a buffet style but we ordered from the a la carte menu so breakfast is cooked to order, if you so choose. The Cultra Inn is part of the hotel and a nice place to while away an hour or two. The Bollinger Bar is Absolutely Fabulous, forgive the pun.

OK, hotel were very unhelpful in locating my husbands lost mobile phone. We had to ring several times before we got the night staff, the gentleman there was extremely helpful.

Great location, very nice staff but a few things let it down. Breakfast was below standard for a hotel of this calibre, cold continental buffet very poor choice, a small amount of fruit & cereal not even a crossiant on offer, hot buffet may as well be described as cold buffet. Everything cold & unappetising. Nothing fresh from the kitchen which is most unusual , even the toast coming out was cold. We stayed in a suite nice big room but rubbish shower, no fridge in the room, apps on TV weren’t working, down turn service turned up at 10 pm?? Should be renamed tucking in service!! All in all I didn’t rate is as highly as I should of done given the money it cost.

Really excellent hotel. Lovely break for a couple. Everything was great throughout, couldn't fault the hotel on anything. Planning on coming back soon.

First of all the positive - friendly, welcoming staff. Spacious room and bathroom. Unfortunately the breakfast was the massive negative. The fruit salad consisted entirely of chopped apples, the grapefruit consisted of 4 stringy pieces floating in juice. The bread selection was poor, fresh cold toast was delivered to our table. The hot buffet breakfast was the polar opposite of hot. For a hotel to serve this to its guests and be rated as 5 star is debatable.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in the Culloden. Every member of staff was so friendly, helpful and warm. A special shout out to the lovely gentleman leading breakfast service who is excellent at his job. It was a nice touch that he came to speak to us and other guests when the service was easing off. We enjoyed chatting to him. Most of the food we had was absolutely delicious and the breakfast in particular is probably the best hotel breakfast we’ve had. We had a really lovely lunch when we arrived and everything was very, very tasty apart from the egg sandwich which I think the kitchen maybe forgot to season, it was pretty bland. We had dinner in the Cultra Inn. Once again, nearly everything was delicious apart from my husband’s burger bun which was mostly black/burnt from being over toasted. Service was unfortunately a bit slow, young staff so lovely but one or two need a shake to not let the ball drop and keep on top of everything. Our bedroom was absolutely beautiful; very comfortable and spotlessly clean apart from a few short black hairs on a towel and a pillowcase. It was a pleasant surprise to come back and see the beds turned down and water on each beside table. We really enjoyed our time near the fire, reading our books and drinking cocktails which were all first class. Having said this, despite the fire, we both found it a little cold and it was disappointing that the fire was allowed to go out and wasn’t topped up. We would love to give the hotel 5/5 but considering the price of the stay, the little things we mentioned held us back on this. To make it value for money, everything would need to be pretty perfect.

This is a very nice hotel - but with all very nice hotels it had its small weaknesses Wonderful grounds and facilities - liked the spa and swimming area - the bar area was luxury- full of soft seating and character Plenty of food in bar and foyer - the main restaurant certainly was nice - but service at breakfast on Sunday was so lacking in service - very poor you would think that the staff were out till 3 in the morning It’s not cheap but worth the experience in a very nice area of Belfast By the way Van Morrison played for lunch
