Top Ballina Hotel Reviews

Ramada Hotel and Suites Ballina Byron

Ramada Hotel and Suites Ballina Byron

8/10 Good
"We have been regular visitors to Ballina and always choose to stay at the Ramada. The staff are very friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist in any way they can. We love the location and the view is just amazing. We love the kitchenette, especially when staying for more than a couple of days; it just makes life a little easier, and they provide all the basic utensils you need. We have a lot of family in the area so it makes it so much easier to invite people back to enjoy the view and a coffee with us. I will say the housekeeping team are exceptional and very attentive, especially if you are staying for longer periods. It's just such a friendly place to visit."

"Unfortunately there were builders starting at 8.00 next morning and I was only notified by a sign in the room on arrival. Noise issue only. Nothing was mentioned about the water being turned off at that time."

"Jamie was very friendly, was surprised the room had a microwave - didn’t use it but great to know if we choose to stay again. Was good to be able to close the bathroom roller door to keep the room warmer and block the noise of the birds in the morning!"
