Winter stay
Very friendly and helpful couple. Great location & clearly have recently refurbished a lot of the building. Lounge and bar area was good. Toilet didn’t flush well & they fixed quickly. Small but adequate room. Continental breakfast. I would suggest a couple of minor improvements - more comfortable pillows, tv remote that works, perhaps some filter coffee at breakfast instead of instant.

Friendly welcome. Pretty good value for money. The room had a sofa although the wall mounted TV couldn't swivel round to be watched from the sofa! The blinds didn't stay down but there were curtains. Decor is "grey carpet and fake flowers and the breakfast buffet was good but cheap bread ham and cheese. This is part of a small chain and I imagine they do well but it does lack soul and flair. If you are looking for a family run guest house with a hearty home cooked breakfast with local produce in a warm homesyle house then this isnt for you. But I had a good nights sleep and the shower worked well.

This B&B is a wee gem, I booked 3 rooms for myself and 3 other friends, the 2 double rooms had outstanding views of the marina and the sea, the single room did not have the views, but that didn't take anything away from it, it was a beautiful room and my friend who stayed in this room loved it, Steven was a lovely man, nothing was a trouble to him, we had a drink in the little bar, the craic was great, we also met beautiful Shadow who's just the friendliest wee dog. Breakfast is continental and good variety. We're definitely going back hopefully in December, so will look forward to seeing you soon. Well worth a visit folks and defo worth the money

First and foremost, our host Julie went above and beyond to make us feel at home. She was available 24/7 if needed. On our morning of departure we had an early rise and she was up serving us breakfast at 6am. The venue is very attractive and provided everything we needed. We would recommend Astala Guest House for travellers in the Bangor area. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This guest house is clean and perfect for a long or short stay. We enjoyed our stay and the environment was cool. The only thing that needs improvement is the television channels, they should upgrade the TV channels with interesting and more enjoyable ones.

Excellent stay at Astala!
Our stay at Astala was amazing from start to finish. Julie, Steven snr and Steven jnr were so lovely and we really enjoyed spending time at the guesthouse with them. The room had everything we needed, very clean and lovely decor. The bar is a lovely little touch making the experience a little more enjoyable! The setting opposite the marina is lovely, having breakfast and looking out at the water was a great start to the day. We were attending an event in Belfast and our commute was easy by public transport and by car. The staff helped us with suggestions of where to go, where to eat etc and really made our stay memorable. We will definitely be back to stay with them again!

We loved the property with great views of the tranquil yacht harbor. The local bands played until 10:00 pm marching through the streets. We went for a walk along the harbor and watched locals pass by. Highly recommended.

the 1st room we were put in flooded- the shower didnt drain properly, and then a light fitting fell on my sons head, then to top it all the room smelt terribly of drains. The 2nd room was a little better, not very clean..and the toilet seat broke. run down, needed a deep clean.

Lovely property. To be fair this was a short overnight stay so can only comment on this. Looks really very clean. Can hear everything from from other rooms. Bathroom in need of a real good DIY - parts broken on bath and crack in sink but I can;t take away from the views and really nice room. The owner was very helpful getting us a taxi and that came super quick too, though don;t rely on the taxi man being pleasant!
