Great hotel. Really friendly welcome from receptionist and she gave us a whole list of restaurant recommendations which was great! Room was spacious and clean with little finishing touches. We had a kitchenette which was well stocked and could easily have cooked a meal there if needed. Great location and walkable to the sites. Would love to return.

We loved staying at the Flint, located walking distance to everything we wanted to see in Belfast. The room was clean and having the kitchenette was helpful. The staff were friendly and helped us navigate the fact that the city shut down for two nights during our stay. The restaurant attached to the hotel has incredible food, you will not be disappointed if you eat here. Highly recommend if you are traveling to Belfast.
