Top Ballymena Hotel Reviews

Moxy Belfast City

Moxy Belfast City

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The service at reception was excellent. Sophie was especially helpful, and she gave us some great local tips that made our visit even better. The lobby decor was modern and fun. The hotel itself was perfectly sufficient for what we needed. While the room could have been cleaner, it was comfortable enough for our stay. The location was very convenient, with most points of interest only a 5–10 minute walk away. The parking garage wasn’t the most convenient to use, but it wouldn’t deter me from booking this hotel again. We also enjoyed the bar, where the service was excellent and the staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, the great service and convenient location made for an enjoyable stay. We would stay at Moxy again."
