Went for a few spa treatments and I was amazed at how good I felt afterwards. Lorraine is exceptional at her job and so kind. Can't recommend her enough. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. Thank you Lorraine

Horrible costumer service. Don't recommend the hotel to anyone. Impossible to manage a booking or cancel a voucher/getting a refund even thought I was not able to use the full facilities promised to me when the voucher was bought. A member of staff tested positive for Covid and what was supposed to be a relaxing end of year spa break became a cancellation and refund nightmare because of lack of prefessionalism from Hibernian Hotel.
