Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Wonderful Opera!
    I would just say if bags are to be searched then do it properly with a table and really look. I'm afraid the search was useless and therefore pointless.

    Probably the major traditional educational institution in the region. An impressive campus for the visitor with some massive and lovely buildings, lots of green space. If you have the time, it can be a good short visit.

    If you like church architecture you will admire this cathedral building in the town centre.
    Friendly atmosphere and lots of stories inside.
    There is a great emphasis placed upon honoring those who have lost their lives in Titanic. There's a carpet hanging on the wall which shows that. + is symbol for Christians, * for Jews and ( for Muslims.

    We stumbled upon this church by accident and thought we’d go in for a nosey. What a stunning church inside......and so peaceful! A lovely spot to sit and reflect in the beautiful ambience of the church. Don’t go past!

    This very grand building was pointed out by our tour bus driver as we passed by. An important structure in this city with its big port, imports and exports.

    We knew that there was no guided tour that day, but as the place was open we went to see it for ourselves. We found it so interesting seeing all the people who had been there, from all those who had died, and all the children with their ages, who had lived there. We were the only visitors so enjoyed seeing the various rooms and plaques, without interruption. On entering we were given a leavelet about Clifton House, which helped us enjoy the visit.

    We were headed back to the center after lunch, and we passed this very grand old fshioned library building, a temple to learning, something we do support. Stopped to take a photo but did not go inside.

    It's a very big bank building on one side of the square around City Hall. It's one of the first building you notice when you come to City Hall because it is so big. Style from the end of the 19th Century.

    A lovely building which I know not what it is for. Religious artifacts at one doorway, is it open to the public? what happens there? So i just admire the craftmanship of the building.

    The Harbour Office of Belfast is on the edge of the cit centre. It is close to the Albert Memorial Clock and really near the River Lagan. This is reflected in its original use and I imagine that when Belfast was a bus shipping hub it was a hive of activity.

    The building has been well preserved and worth checking out if you like architecture.

    If you want to explore the Belfast dockside and visit some of the few remaining old buildings then seek out St. Joseph's in Prince's Dock Street. Found on the opposite bank to the Titanic Quarter.

    Although it is in a poor state you will find a lovely little church with some really colourful Victorian stained glass windows.

    In order to try and renovate the church the local volunteer-run Sailortown Regeneration project are trying to raise funds to turn the deconsecrated church into a community hub - so any visit will help support their cause.

    Visited here whilst in Belfast with some friends, it’s free entry and there are lots of different rooms to visit and things to see. Enjoyed it and was an interesting place to visit.

    Phenomenal building. I always stop to marvel at it. The combination of colour and form is joyous. Its among mixed company. The Spirit of Belfast sculpture is a dud, if you ask me. Some of the other buildings at this intersection look great. This one is my runaway favourite, though.

    What a gorgeous place this must have been in its glory! But sadly, it is now just a crumbling ruin. This building is now for sale, in hopes that it will be converted into a hotel since there are none in this area of Belfast.

    Unfortunately this once lovely building has fallen into melancholy. It could and should be much more, albeit even a backdrop for photos. Alas the money isn't there and it looks sad!!
