"Well communicated contactless check in, beautiful property and rooms, cute little town, and the breakfast was good! Coffee was great, Charlie makes a great flat white! Parking can be a little bit of a nuisance, and like many historical properties no elevator so if you need help with your luggage plan ahead as the property is not always staffed. Lovely. Also Forrest Park is not to far down the road if you would like a lovely walk around the lake. the Parson's Nose is quite good as a dinner option...

Maldron Hotel Belfast City

10/10 Excellent

"."

ibis budget Belfast City Centre

8/10 Good

"Pleasant stay staff lovley few issues with the room but dealt with efficiently ideal location to all attractions and buses x city centre would stay again"

The Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast

10/10 Excellent

"Superb breakfast, helpful and friendly staff, comfortable room although we didn’t really need an accessible room"

Slieve Donard

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the weekend at Slieve Donard Hotel for my Mum's birthday. We haven't been for a few years, and it was so lovely to be back. We booked dinner at Villa Vinci in the town and oh my - it was amazing! The staff were wonderful and the room was fantastic. One thing to note, however, is that seating in the spa is extremely limited, and it was completely full on our first day, and the jacuzzi was much the same. We returned on Monday morning at 8 am and managed to get 2 seats, but we were just lucky. It really doesn't have enough seating for a hotel of this size. The views definitely help make up for the lack of seating, though!"

Crowne Plaza Belfast by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff were lovely and helpful, we had a lovely meal in the river room which was turkey and ham so delicious. Breakfast was great and plenty of choice. Our room was excellent a standard twin with two big double beds, the room was super clean. The fridge was great to keep drinks cool. The staff work so hard and are a credit to the hotel. Really enjoyed our stay. The reception was a lovely smell when you arrive. The only thing which was disappointing was the horrendous smell in the ladies toilets in the lobby. X"
