Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Rooms repeatedly described as clean and modern; several guests noted well-kept bathrooms and overall tidy accommodation, though a few mentioned small housekeeping lapses (towels not neatly folded, bench tops not wiped).
Service
8.3
Staff are frequently praised as friendly and excellent in multiple reviews; one report of an unpleasant receptionist and isolated issues (lift out of service) slightly temper an otherwise strong service impression.
Location
8.7
Many guests highlight an excellent, convenient location (close to pubs, sightseeing bus stop, safe/quiet area); a small number noted event-related transport disruptions or less-desirable immediate surroundings during the Fleadh.
Room Quality
8.4
Rooms described as spacious with comfortable beds and large bathrooms for many guests; a few specific issues reported (requested large double not provided, small bed, AC unit/noise outside window, intermittent hot water).
Amenities
7.4
Mixed notes: lift access praised, but guests mention paid parking (and some security concerns), bar closures, limited crockery/cutlery in apartments and few late-night dining options — overall amenities are functional but with noticeable gaps.
Value for Money
7.6
Perceived value lowered by additional charges (paid parking) and occasional service hiccups; room quality and included breakfast generally support a positive value impression but extras reduce the score.
Food and Beverage
8.2
Breakfast is often praised (good choice, hot dishes available) and food described as delicious by several guests; some found breakfast service chaotic or noted limited beverage options (no smoothies) and scarce late-night dining choices.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall sentiment is positive with many 'excellent' or highly recommended stays and repeat guests; isolated negatives (parking costs, occasional staff/reception issues, small room/bed problems) temper an otherwise strong guest experience.

Fantastic from start to finish
Pros:

This hotel was everything we need for a very relaxing break to Belfast. We were greeted by Robert at reception, he is very charming and fantastic at his Job. He definitely will go far and I hope the management appreciate just what a good job he does. To be fair all off the staff were very friendly and helpful. The whole experience was definitely very pleasant and the breakfast was fantastic. We will definitely book again and recommend to family and friends.

Cons:

Nothing it was all great.

Gehobenes Hotel mit kleinen Mängeln!
Pros:

Sehr feines Frühstück! Großzügige Zimmer!

Cons:

Wenn man ein Zimmer über der Lüftungs- bzw. Klimaanlage bekommt, kann man das Fenster nicht öffnen! Brutal laut und nach heißem Fett, etc stinkend......, schade!

Hotel muy cómodo
Pros:

El hotel en general está muy bien, las camas son muy cómodas y las habitaciones son muy espaciosas

Cons:

Teníamos dos habitaciones, en una de ellas más moderna, no funcionaba el aire acondicionado ni la cafetera. Y en la otra habitación una suit no funcionaba la ducha, le faltaba limpieza y una actualización del mobiliario porque algunas mesas y sillones estaban deteriorados

Belfast Tattoo visit
Pros:

Very relaxing stay at The Malone after a last minute decision to stayover in Belfast. We enjoyed our evening meal in the restaurant and staff were friendly and helpful. While our room was spacious and stylish and the bed comfortable, it was rather warm and airless despite having 2 windows. Plus point -central to the city centre without the hassle of multi storey car parks etc.

Cons:

The room was warm overnight.
