However it’s in the Cathedral district which is the hub of the entertainment area. It can get VERY noisy at night and we had to move rooms in order to get a good nights sleep. This was organised very efficiently by the hotel staff and our second night was much quieter. The hotel is very convenient for exploring Belfast and the hotel staff are excellent. ##### Beverley Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeevagan 27 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a great stay ##### Jeevagan Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simona 14 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantasy experience!

BEAUTIFUL hotel. DELICIOUS breakfast. Super-professional staff. All around excellent experience. Rooms were a good size and really nicely decorated (we stayed in the Victorian rooms). Only slight mis-understanding was on the payment terms. The booking said pay at property but they needed to bill two weeks in advance. We got it worked out but suggest that the hotel update their T&Cs on their Expedia listing for a more pleasant experience. Overall AMAZING hotel and would highly, highly recommend. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary 29 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a beautiful hotel, could not fault it ##### Gary Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosemary 16 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceptional hotel.
