Do NOT believe the photos! This is a formerly glorious home that has been carved up into individual rooms. I’ve stayed in places like this before,but the lack of quality of workmanship says let’s do this as cheaply as possible. Shower doesn’t drain. Garbage and poorly maintained exterior and interior says make money,who cares about anything else. Springs in the mattress sticking into my ribs made for a fitful night.neighborhood was inner city typical. But come on…do better.

Loved the hotel and the all the historic touches but my superior room was on the noisy side as it faced Queens Road and oddly the windows on the second floor didn’t lock so allowed a lot of traffic and air con noise into the room. Ask for a museum side.room if you want quieter.

Hillsborough Castle

9.2/10 (12 reviews)
Grand Hillsborough Castle is the official residence for the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, and is where members of the British Royal Family customarily reside when in the country. In 1920, this 18th century Georgian manor was sold by the sixth Marquess of Downshire to the British government (it is not actually a castle and the name Hillsborough derives from the Hill family that built it, and the surrounding village). Since then, it has played host to numerous British and foreign dignitaries, including former President George W Bush.
