Its location near Shaftesbury Square makes exploring the city's attractions, like Titanic Belfast, quite convenient, while the on-site restaurant and gothic-themed bar promise a lively evening without stepping outside. From what I gather, it's a solid option for anyone wanting a centrally located and stylish base in the city.”

small roomloud noise
I had a double room. It was very small. I was a bit disappointed with the view from my window, it overlooked a rather dull alley. The noise from nearby pubs on Friday NIGHT was quite loud, even with the windows closed. This disrupted my sleep a bit, and i wish i had brought earplugs. THE hotel could provide those better.

Fantastic Stay!

helpful staffconvenient locationstreet noise
The staff were VERY helpful, especially at the bar and restaurant. We enjoyed our meal, and the location was ideal for the concert we attended nearby. We could easily walk to the concert venue, SO convenient.
The street was noisy. I could hear noise both inside the hotel and outside. Rooms adjacent to the lift are loud because the lift is in constant use.
