Clean spacious rooms and you could log into your own Netflix. Kitchenette had a combi microwave oven with plenty of dishes and glasses. Staff are lovely and so helpful - I had something couriered to me and they rang me as soon as it arrived. Very central, there's a Tesco around the corner and a 24 hrs gym nearby you can buy a day pass to. Couldn't recommend more.

Great facilities in the room. Easy to check in. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Only down side was that we found used contact lenses on the floor by the side of the bed and also on the bathroom floor. Cleaning needs to be improved, then it would be 5 stars

Staff at this Belfast hotel were charming. Room was spacious and had good, clean, new-looking kitchen which was well fitted out. Only downside was some noise from the air-con - not that this really affected us. Overall a very good experience. Hotel is ideally situated and near to excellent restaurants.

Our go to for accommodation in Belfast. Fab rooms - so well equipped - relaxed warm bar / cafe underneath, and staff who all go the extra mile. Add to that the great location - 5 mins walk to Grand Central Station on one side and City Hall the other. Highly recommend.

I booked a room in this hotel with my colleague. Shorthly after we settled in our room, I noticed that he was smoking in the restroom without my knowledge. He’s from Turkey and was unaware that smoking wasn’t permitted in there or in any hotel rooms, as the smoking rules are not too strict in Turkey. ( Lets say that smoking rules are more flexible which brings smokers to this terrible point and a nonsmoker like me end up paying a fine in Europe for a smoker from Turkey.) As a nonsmoker, I didn’t think he would smoke and didn’t consider warning him in advance that smoking was prohibited in hotel rooms in the United Kingdom. However, as soon as I saw him, I informed him and had him extinguish his cigarette. Shortly after, someone came and took a picture of his cigarette butt in the toilet. Since he was unaware of the law, a warning would have been sufficient. Instead, I found that I was as a card holder fined £200. Given that he was unaware of the law, it was my responsibility to warn him, but since I don’t smoke, I didn’t think of warning him in advance. Now, he’s blaming me for not warning him and he doesn’t want to pay the fine. Because I made the booking, the fine is on my card, and I’m really frustrated. I don’t smoke and have to pay a fine for something I didn’t do. I wanted to talk to the manager but they didn’t let me talk to him and just gave me an email address to reach him. I sent an email and they didn’t even bother to reply. I’m very disappointed.

The staff was really lovely and the restaurant is great. However, I’m not sure how this hotel fits in a 4 star category. It is in dire need of renovations and touchups. The room felt dark and dank and dusty. The price was unbeatable but I thought it was because it was off season. For a budget option, it is fine. I wouldn’t recommend it though and would rather spend more money on a place that feels clean and well maintained.

This hotel was the perfect choice. The room was spacious and clean. The kitchen was well appointed. The location (5 minutes from the Grand Central Station and right in the shopping district) was ideal. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
