You know what to expect with these sort of hotels and generally you get it. At the time we stayed there, the hotel was being renovated so the dining room and bar was non-existent. Instead, drinks in the evening were served from behind reception and breakfast was in the main lobby area. It didn't make much difference - you hardly... more

Horrible place, would have a good shower after staying in such a hole. You just feel dirty and the walls are paper thin and you can hear other people all through the night. Awful more

We stayed here for five nights this month, our opinion is mixed. The hotel is very tired and dated, decorated by a graduate from the Ballamory School of Interior design. The rooms and public areas are shabby, duvets and towels too small, breakfast very average. However the staff were absolutely lovely. Our welcome was very warm and the staff continued... more

It was a business motif, like all of Belfast is, but a very nice and convenient hotel. more

I'll keep this short as I know most people just want the facts rather than a life story. - The sound proofing in our room was awful - every noise from next door came through meaning two terrible nights sleep. - The breakfast was the worst I have ever eaten - if congealed bacon, fried tomatoes with ice crystals in... more

Stayed there as it was cheaper than more centrally located hotels. That being said, my room was a good size, comfortable bed with plenty of extra pillows and quiet. Breakfast was good and on a self service buffet style basis. Only gripe was that the shower temperature was difficult to control and that the tap was very stiff, and therefore... more

I had just come off an Atlantic crossing from Canada with the HMS Bounty. At the end of the Tall Ships Festival I had to stay one night ashore before flying home. My travel agent booked the hotel as the cheapest she could find. I had to get my bag off the ship in the morning. Check-in was not till... more

I stayed here for 5D4N in early September 08. The room was spacious and clean. The shower was powerful and hot water was always available. The bed was comfortable and there were additional pillows available. Buffet breakfast was really good, although it was the same food everyday. The hotel is within walking distance to Queen's University and Belfast City Center.... more

We had booked a twin room for 3 nights and really liked this hotel: Clean, spacious rooms, comfy beds and pillows, friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast, and situated just around the corner of Botanic Avenue with its many, many restaurants and cafés. It takes approx. 20 minutes by foot to reach the city although it didn't feel that long... more

Stayed here one night which cost £59 for my partner and I. Took a while to get checked in as there was a group of people checking in ahead of us but eventually a second receptionist came on & checked us in. The staff were approachable & friendly enough. The room was fine, but not enough pillows and the quality... more

Dear Tripadvisor, Thank you for taking the time to write your review. As a customer focused hotel we take your comments very seriously. With regards to the quality of breakfast I am disappointed you found it to be of poor quality as our cooked breakfast is normally of a high standard. As a way of explanation and in no way...
