Close to everything, perfect location, easy to navigate, it states that it’s above the bar and we thought it would be noisy turned out it wasn’t at all and great that they give free beer! Self service, not difficult at all at the same time it is the best time ever so I have no encounter with the staff which is great for an introvert and anti socialist

Street partying until 02.20 on Botanic Avenue. Room 106 needs efficient double/triple glazed windows to cut out street antisocial behaviour.

Awesome stay, loved the self check-in and the beer fridge in the check-in area from which you can help yourself to a chilled, refreshing bottle of lager - perfect after travelling. Room was situated on the first floor, above the bar and overlooking the street. Excellent sized room, good en-suite and amazing shower. As you’d expect being directly above the bar meant that you could hear the noise from below. The bar closes at midnight and for me this wasn’t an issue as I was heading out to the theatre and planned to have a pint of Guinness (or two) on my return. The room has a great vue of the street and there’s a wee sitting area in the window. It was from this vantage point that I enjoyed my complimentary beverage whilst watching the world go by. Ideally located for visiting Queen’s University and this area, about a 20 minute walk to the centre of Belfast and close to one of Belfast’s train stations. Will definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay in one of the of the most famous spots in Belfast. The viewing deck was a class act when it comes to our favourite hobby which is people watching. Highly recommend for the price, as well as checking yourself in creating your own room keycards for your room, makes for something different.

Will be my hotel for future stays

The location Is nice, close to many restaurants and bars, the room and bathroom were big, the bed comfortable, all the necessary amenities were included Loved the idea of the free beer Suggestions: a longer wire for the hair dryer would be needed in order to actually be able to use the mirror + better illumination

Amazing 2 night stay!

We switched to this hotel last minute for a weekend away in Belfast and we’re so glad we did. The staff were so helpful & also accommodated an early check in as we arrived early. The room was very spacious & the bed was comfortable. There was free beer on arrival and also complimentary water and coffee/tea facilities in the room. We stayed in the room above the bar and the noise wasn’t an issue at all. The window lounge seat was great for chilling out/people watching. Bar/restaurant downstairs was a lovely vibe with heaters and outdoor seating. The Chinese next door was also lovely! I’d definitely recommend staying here and would return again. Great spot & fab value for money :)
