    Great location. Beside Queens University and Botanic Gardens. Self-Service check-in straight forward enough. A free beer is a nice touch. Room was spacious, clean and inclusion of bottles of water was much appreciated. Bar downstairs very handy for a drink after a gig.

    There was no lift and we were on the third floor, which was quite hard to navigate with a large suitcase. The hotel is situated in a very student-y area, but where our room was located, it was very quiet.

    The hotel is really near the Botanic Gardens if you're in Belfast for a gig there its very handy. It's also a short-ish walk into the city centre. The room was large, and the bathroom had a lovely walk in shower. There was sometimes beer available on arrival, but we only got one bottle between the two of us, unfortunately. There are lots of cheap-ish places to eat nearby.

    We stayed in one of the rooms over the bar. This is not a dislike because the hotel made it very clear that there will be noise and offer this room at a discounted rate becuase of it. All I would say is be sure you don't mind this as the noise from the bar is considerable. We would probably pay more for a different room next time we stay.

    The hotel is in a good location close to bars and restaurants. The bar to the hotel is nice and the staff were very friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

    Our room was directly overlooked by private apartments, I mean they could literally look into our bed if they had the inclination, which meant we couldn't open the curtains, a simple net curtain could remedy this, the room had no ceiling lights, only lamps so because we couldn't open the curtains the room was very dark. The bathroom window also was screwed shut, don't check in online either, when I tried this they wanted £100 deposit even though we'd already paid in full, didn't ask for this deposit when we checked in at the hotel, but all said and done at this price point, £105, I'd stay again, any dearer and I wouldn't.

    Location for the reason we travelled was excellent, train station across the road, restaurants, bars ,take out, coffee shops right outside the door. Free bottle of beer on check in, assisted on self check in by telephone in lobby/ doorway.

    Its a hotel with a bar underneath which I understood and expected noise from that ( I had earplugs)I just found some fellow people staying in the hotel very inconsiderate- coming in during the early hours of the morning after nightclubbing and talking loudly, stomping about banging doors etc. We also had a fire alarm go off during our first night that was maliciously set off. So not getting the best night's sleep soured our stay a little.

    The room was spacious and had a very very comfortable bed. The staff were very helpful storing luggage etc when we arrived.

    Great room but could do with a bit of updating. Room was above a bar so was very noisy at night and into the early hours, had to close windows at night, not ideal during hot weather.

    Accommodation is situated in a great vibrant area of Belfast.

    nothing more than being petty, the power sockets could be in easier reach of the bed. and thats just laziness talking as there were plenty on the other side of the room and on one side of the bed.

    room was great, comfy bed, great shower, no noise from street or bar downstairs and it was full when we were leaving and hadnt heard a thing as it was empty when we arrived and hour before. great location. the self check in was as much of a pain as self check out at Tesco, someone had to come and help us, we were in the hotel and climbing the stairs within 5 mins. staff were lovely, couldnt be more helpful.

    We knew the area can be noisy with university students out on the street, but once the windows are closed it is not a problem. It was the noise from adjacent rooms that was more noticeable. The first night we had neighbors and you could hear every word they were saying - didn't help that they started singing karaoke at 3 am! Better sound proofing would make a big difference. What we also missed was a fridge. We were there for a couple of days, so having somewhere to store drinks and snacks would have been nice.

    The self check-in was great! It went pretty smoothly and we appreciated how efficient it was. We were also glad that we could pop down to the bar if we had a question and the staff were very helpful. We know Belfast well, so the location worked for us. We enjoyed being near lots of food options and the botanic gardens. The room was bigger than expected and pretty comfortable. We enjoyed all the little details printed on things and had lots of fun people watching from the little window nook.
