Appreciate that the property is centrally located yet in a quiet neighborhood. Conveniently located infront of a large grocery store and food shops around. Cleanliness can be improved upon. Overall, good value for what you get

VERY IMPRESSED! Having stayed at an IBIS before, in France, we weren't expecting it to be great - but were very pleasantly surprised. This IBIS had a refurbishment last year. The Reception/Bar/Restaurant area was warm and welcoming as were the staff - especially Stuart, who was exceedingly helpful over our 4-night visit; he helped with advice on attractions, bars, and generally what to do/where to go. The rooms were very clean, modern and well furnished. Plenty of lighting, sockets, extra pillows and a hairdryer. The bathroom pod and shower were great. Heating/air-conditioning worked well. The restaurant food was good, as were the prices. Bar selection and prices were also good. Breakfast buffet was very comprehensive - cooked breakfast/ cold meat platter/ mixed berries, yoghurt, juices, plus all the usual items. The (Polish??) lady with the red hair was very welcoming and chatty. Many thanks to Stuart, Kuhu and Conan for their welcome professionalism. The hotel is very well situated, just a few minutes walk to the city centre. A number of bars/shops/etc. very nearby. Would have liked more than the 2 coat-hangars provided - but they apparently get stolen. A couple of coat hooks in the room would have been useful. All-in-all, great hotel, great stay

Belfast lads weekend away
Booked x4 twin rooms on here. Got confirmation but at check in, only x2 rooms were as booked. One was a double and the 4th didn’t exist. The check in team worked things out and we’re apologetic but still, it’s inconvenient and frustrating to be met with “sorry, we don’t have that room” after hours of travelling.

Kind of dirty
The room was a bit dirty honestly. Our towels had spots on them and so did the bed sheets. My husband found a huge purple stain on the comforter. I’m guessing someone dyed there hair in the room because there was also some purple spots in the bathroom. The water from the sink also stunk. But I will say it was nicely located and the staff were very nice.

Our stay was very nice with our room having clearly just been completely renovated. The entire hotel appears to have only very recently been completely revamped. The facilities look excellent. Staff was professional if not particularly friendly or welcoming. Overall a very clean room apart from some hairs and what seemed like dog/cat hair in and on the duvet. Breakfast was ok. From a continental perspective there lacked any real bread, pastries or plentiful yoghurt and cereal. UK "full English" was available and was tasty if a little salty. 4/5 overall experience.
