Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Golflinks Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Golflinks Hotel for its modern and very clean rooms, some even describing them as bright and spacious, with comfortable beds and smart TVs. The breakfast is frequently mentioned as excellent, with generous portions and first-class ingredients, though a few guests found the dining area a bit chilly. Located within walking distance of Portrush town and its beautiful beach, and across the road from Portrush Golf Club, the hotel provides convenient access to local attractions; some guests have noted that some rooms were smaller than expected. Onsite amenities like free parking, a kids' play park, and a chippy add to the convenience.

greasy foodinedible breakfast
the menu seemed quite extensive, but sadly, the food didn't live up to the descriptions. i ordered the fish and chips, a classic, but it arrived swimming in grease. the batter tasted like old cardboard, and honestly, i left most of it untouched. it feels like the kitchen is targeting the lowest common denominator when it comes to taste, a shame, given the hotel's other qualities, .

the breakfast was acceptable.
The room i booked felt smaller than advertised. the bathroom lacked proper ventilation. The mirror fogged up immediately after a shower and remained that way for quite some time. the noise from nearby rooms was a significant disturbance.
