Pros:

A really good base for visiting Belfast. Walking distance to the main attractions but much better value than staying in the city centre. Lots of dining options close by. Nicely decorated and very comfortable room. Wonderful breakfasts to set you up for the day. Friendly and attentive staff and and a general air of being well run.

Erstklassiges Hotel in ruhige Lage
Pros:

Das Hotel befindet sich in guter Lage in einer ruhigen Nebenstraße, das Zentrum ist in wenigen Gehminuten erreichbar. Das gesamte Servicepersonal war umsichtig und um das Wohl der Gäste bemüht. Sämtliche 'Räumlichkeiten des Hotels hinterließen einen gepflegten Eindruck. Unser Zimmer war in Ordnung und sehr sauber. Das a la carte-Frühstück war lecker und wurde immer frisch zubereitet. Kostenlose Parkplätze am Hotel sind vorhanden. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen dieses Haus gerne weiter.

Pros:

A genuinely excellent stay. The staff were professional, friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. The room was spotless, comfortable and well maintained, and the whole hotel felt calm and well run.

The location is a real strength. It is central enough to walk to the city centre, restaurants and attractions, while still being in a quieter area away from the busiest streets.

What stood out most was the quality of the service. Everyone we dealt with was welcoming, efficient and happy to help.

Clean, comfortable, great staff and an excellent location. I would happily stay here again and would have no hesitation recommending it.

Cons:

Nothing

Schöner Aufenthalt in einem kleineren, aber gemütlichen Hotel.
Pros:

Sehr nettes, aufmerksames Personal am Empfang und beim Frühstück, zentrale Lage, kostenloser Parkplatz in einem relativ kleinen Innenhof, leckeres, frisch zubereitetes Frühstück per Menükarte auswählbar und kleinem Büfett, großes Kingsize Bett mit guter Matratze, geräumiges Bad mit Badewanne. Kühlschrank im Zimmer.

Cons:

Keine Klimaanlage im Zimmer, daher sehr warm.
