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 ### 8/10 Good #### Xiaojuan 30 Sept 2024 Beautiful restaurant ##### Xiaojuan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Martyn 4 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very noisy until 1am loud music ##### Martyn Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 26 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Suite Dry nice.

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 #### Margaret 19 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Expensive compared to other hotels at this level ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon 2 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My favourite hotel in Belfast.
