Kasteel van Larne

Old and tired hotel, in need of refurbishment. No shuttle from the airport, which makes the transport complicated... 1.5 km from the nearest bus station (by night, the path it seems being in the middle of nowhere) and 700 m from the train station. The shuttle dissapeared during the pandemic and the hotel never bothered to reintroduce it. An Uber/ Bolt from the airport cost 20 - 25 euros. The 4 stars are 3 and look like 2. The TV in the room has only a few channels available, a menu that will take you a while to understand and it takes its time to respond to the commands... if it ever responds. If you have a car, they will charge you 18 euros/ day. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom and good breakfast.

Upscale hotel, delivering what it promises. V helpful reception staff. The only irritating thing as the waiters at the bar and courtyard area were very slow to offer us a meny or ask what we wanted. They were walking around delivering drinks or taking payments all around us, but never even so much as acknowledged we were there. It took 15 min until we got a meny. This happened twice.
