Disappointed

Our room was a big disappointment. The room was small, there was a musty smell straight away and there were stains on the carpet/chair and sheets. The breakfast was not worth the money and was like warm. We paid nearly £200 and thought we would get value with the hotel being 4 star. Unfortunately we won’t be back

Not quite the executive suite I was expecting.

Room decor and bathroom quite tatty. Kettle in the room didn't work properly, shutting off before boiled. Had to wait until 3.40pm to check in, despite arriving at 2pm. Was offered a cheap bottle of Prosecco as compensation for late check in. Gee whiz!

The staff were lovely, the hotel is very convenient to get around. The room was quiet and also large. I have stayed before and would do again. Also I think my room does need a bit of a refit. Overall though I had a comfortable stay with pleasant staff and enjoyed staying in Belfast.

Stayed in room 501. Right beside the elevators with no soundproofing doors between. Room is old and in need of renovation. Shower curtain was torn in several places and had an odd smell (I mentioned this on checkout and staff were very apologetic). Location is excellent, restaurant was fine but not outstanding. Staff very nice and public areas are welcoming.

I have stayed in this hotel several times before. The rooms are generally clean and comfortable..on this occasion we were put into a disabled room, not at our request, though my booking was a late one, so presumed this was the reason, that it was all that was available. The bathroom I feel needed some repairs as there were several things that weren’t right, or broken. The room itself was as expected, the bed was comfortable, though felt the tv was wrongly situated! As you couldn’t lay in bed and watch it, as it was positioned on the dressing table area to the side! Which if it was mounted on the wall opposite the bed it would have been much better. My only other issue, was that our room wasn’t refreshed every day, as we had been informed it obviously should have been. This happened more than once, which was a pity. Having said that the staff did respond to our requests for refills of tea, coffee, water and the bins to be emptied etc.. when we asked. Having said that, the food was excellent, had the daily breakfast and ate in the restaurant on a couple of occasions which was also excellent. All the staff were very friendly. Really like where the hotel is situated, convenient to walk into town. Would stay here again

Self service check in wasn’t the smoothest as they terminal didn’t easily encode the 2nd key and staff required to assist. Noticed others struggling to use at check in too Fan in bathroom never switched off, even with lights off, which we found disturbed our sleep. Mentioned to receptio who arranged for maintenance. When we returned after a day in the city is was silent. Huzzah. Until we put the bathroom light on. Again it started. And never stopped. Ordered room on our final night. Just a bottle of wine. Delivery in ten minutes. Excellent. 40 minutes later had to call reception to get room service delivered. Bar is nice. Decent location. Very friendly staff. Wouldn’t recommend. I’m sure there are better hotels for the price.
