"Good place to stay if you are on a tight budget Room was very compact with unusual bathroom layout but was ok. I think a kettle with drinks making facilities would be good to save going down to the main reception. Staff were friendly and helpful and would stay again"

"Good hotel for location. Fun pubs around the corner, easy walking to shopping street. Great breakfast. However, if you are arriving by car it is not easy to park your car. They have paid parking several blocks away. So you have to walk back to the hotel, not something I would want to do in the dark. There are ALOT of one way streets in Belfast and would recommend you reconfirm your GPS map with front desk (which is attached to the bar)."
