Leonardo Hotel Belfast
Do yourself a favour and don’t stay here. Not clean, in need of upgrade. No safes available in rooms unless you have an ‘executive room’. Heating doesn’t come on until 8pm. Certainly not a 4 star hotel in my view.

Moxy Belfast City
Good decor, nice simple breakfast. Only complaint was housekeeping: beds were hardly made, dirt mugs left in room, not enough towels left each day (we had a triple room).
