As a single traveller my room was on the lower floor overlooking a wall with a single bed. Who sleeps in a single bed? Should be replaced with at least a Queen sized bed! And room way to hot,

The staff were really welcoming and friendly. Loved the fact that the hotel had recently been refurbished from an old grand townhouse in a terrace which looked over the Skerries and sea - close to town and beach.

Hidden Gem

The Elephant Rock Hotel is a hidden gem in Portrush on the coast of Northern Ireland (Giants Causeway) ….. it is located on a strip of row houses that honestly is a undeveloped goldmine. It is just beautiful!!! I stayed alone the town is adorable ( I stayed in August) but it was booming with activity… clearly a summer hot spot. The Elephant Rock is clean, affordable, really cute, has beautiful decor, wonderful staff and a very popular restaurant overlooking the ocean. Highly recommend!
