Trendy and well located
Noisy room, opposite the onion!! We are in our 50’s so you would expect the staff to put us at the back of the hotel.. not in 204 directly opposite the noisy area.

Excellent location for a night out in the cathedral quarter. Not the place to stay if you’re planning an early night of looking peace.
Floors ild laminate, needs replacing.

Location was brilliant for a night out. The bar was nice and bar staff were friendly, rooms were very clean and we had everything we needed
We have stayed there 3 times and being honest that was the last. The last two times we have walked out of breakfast twice without food. If the breakfast staff moved any slower they would go into reverse and to me they left a bad taste after an otherwise good experiece. Ten minute wait on menus and after waiting another 15 minutes to order we just left. Staff had no excuse as they stood at the bar chatting among themselves. Its a shame as great location and bar was very nice

Loved the shower, the complimentary Taytos, water etc.
Dirty sink stopper. A 30 second job and should be cleaned and checked on every room change. It was quite dirty. Other things in the room were in need of a good clean too. The communal areas were grubby and carpets were badly in need of a hoover The room was much smaller than expected and quite dark and claustrophobic. The need for a card to exit the ground floor was irritating. Lift also not working at the time.

Based in centre of the city, very convenient for meetings. Would be good location for sightseeing and shopping. Located along narrow cobbled street which is pedestrianized for most of the day. This means you can walk around easily but taxis can't come to door of hotel during some times in the day. Bedroom was simply furnished but spacious; very clean; a bit dark, but very comfortable and it seemed to be well sound-proofed and insulated from street noise and any other noise. TV, internet, and tea/coffee facilities worked well. Didn't have breakfast because of other appointments. Staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Hotel has button on wall, near the tiny reception desk, allowing you to call a taxi on demand.
Almost all of the ground floor is taken up with a large bar area with some seating that doubles up as a dining space. During the evenings, the bar was crowded and noisy - certainly not a relaxing space, but in keeping with the street area, which contained many bars and restaurants. However, my bedroom on Floor 2 seemed to be well insulated from the noise.

Lovely room, tasteful decor, wry comfy bed, lots of space which was great for the central location
My room overlooked a late night bar playing loud live music. The first night I just went and joined the party haha but for both nights was a bit much and a bit noisy to get any decent sleep before 12

The Staff. The staff were the best! We hung out in the bar/restaurant downstairs a lot. The ladies both morning and evening were just the best. Warm, friendly, helpful. The atmosphere was wonderful. The hotel is above the bar and restaurant and we enjoyed just hanging out downstairs with a pint or cappuccino and catching up. Elevator worked well. Rooms were comfy. Bathroom was great. Great little smoking area that I could enjoy a cigar. Plenty of great places nearby to visit and enjoy.
There is a bit of street noise especially on weekend nights when music from nearby bars was going. My wife slept through it just fine, but it did keep me up a bit. We would still stay here again though. Food at the restaurant was solid. Unfortunately, one morning there was no cook available so it was just toast and coffee :(

Modern room , lovely big bed , centrally located , very pleasant staff
What I will stay is that’s in a very lively area so there is some noise but it didn’t bother me or my husband. Slept like a log

Located in a central area of Belfast, ideal location for bars and restaurants.
The room was perfect for us and our stay in Belfast. I would not recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful stay as it is right in the heart of the action.

Beautifully decorated, very comfortable and lovely staff.
There was a slightly damp smell in the corridors but not in the rooms so this wasn’t a real issue.

Location is fantastic
We was in room 103 which overlooked the dirty onion bar which didn’t close until 1am. The hotel wasn’t full at all the staff could have checked us into a room that didn’t overlook a bar that was very noisy until closing. Luckily we was celebrating ourselves and didn’t get in till after midnight. However I would 100% stay here again but I’d request a back room to mitigate the noise. The hotel should prioritise filling the back rooms first and let tenants know about the front room noise issues before checking in etc.

Great location on a street with lots of pubs. Can see it being noisy but it worked for us as we were out until later anyway and we wanted the nightlife. Hotel itself was lovely, it had everything we needed for one night and the staff were so friendly. I highly recommend!

Modern, clean & friendly. The staff in particular were amazing & went out of their way to help us.
We loved the location but it was noisy at night (which was to be expected due to the location) however it didn’t stop us having a lovely stay as it was only for a couple of days.

Great location and majority good staff
Noisy, poor amenities, no communication of what was where and what else there was in the room example, no room service. Windows looking right onto street, no privacy. First floor, glass window shows everything.

Extremely comfortable bed. Great shower. Lots of space. Really central location… but…
… rooms are right opposite The Dirty Onion who have live music every night until at least 1am. No matter how great the soundproofing is, there’s no getting away from the craic!

Great location in the heart of the City. Really clean, pub downstairs also nice with extremely friendly & helpful staff. Rooms spacious & clean.
The hotel was situated right opposite a pub which played live music from around 2pm up until late (it was a Wednesday). Had a very early flight to get in to the city & wanted to try get some sleep in the afternoon before working on the evening which was impossible with the noise from the pub outside.

The staff in the hotel were excellent. Really helpful and accommodating. Location was great, would recommend for a group of friends
Didn't have any complaints about our stay, bit noisy at night which I wouldn't be too happy with if I wasn't in a group or with kids
