The Belsfield Hotel

The Belsfield Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent service. Top notch quality. Everything about it was so great and convenient. Special thanks to the reception team, has always been there for any needs. Cleaning crew has done housekeeping multiple times in our stay without even requesting. Clean towels, carpets, curtains, toiletries. It was the best hotel experience for us in a long time. We will surely be back Belsfield. Thanks to Charlie and the other reception team (didn’t catch his name but wears spectacles) for being such an amazing host. Thank you"
