Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had stunning decor and a cozy atmosphere in a very nice part of the city. The service was exceptional, with staff willing to assist with any request. However, the dining experience was lacking variety in options. The price was reasonable, offering good value for money.
The hotel is situated in the University area of Belfast, down an unmarked alley on a side street. The rooms boast stunning decor and feature good wifi and larger beds. The service from the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, willing to help with any request. The location offers easy access to Belfast city centre. However, the dining options are limited to homemade Belgian waffles, and the price could be more budget-friendly.
