Holiday Inn Belfast City Centre by IHG
We were impressed with the Holiday Inn, from the cleanliness and comfort of the room to friendly helpful staff and very convenient location. There was very good choice of food at breakfast and we greatly enjoyed a roast beef lunch when we arrived on a cold and windy day.
