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 #### steve 17 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel is in the best location. The room is was incredible. I definitely recommend upgrading. Breakfast was delicious. Hubby enjoyed the spa. ##### steve Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 27 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities GREAT location. 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 #### Michelle 8 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very attentive staff - very clean room and well taken care of (frequent tidy ups, turn down service etc) - lovely stay, we would definitely return. ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 1 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Staff excellent, room beautiful ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 10 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful experience, highly recommended!!! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie 14 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Everything and everyone was amazing. ##### Stephanie Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Simply outstanding and luxurious. ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Aug 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roisin 1 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Stayed here a long time ago. Noticed a difference. Rooms are getting a bit tired. One member of staff was quite abrupt at breakfast. Not the same experience I had received before unfortunately. ##### Roisin Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bradley 3 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing VIP EXPERIENCE!
