The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Belfast City Queens Quarter

Comfort Meets Convenience in Belfast’s Lively Queens Quarter

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Express Belfast City Queens Quarter is a smart 3-star hotel located in one of Belfast’s most vibrant and artistic neighborhoods. Just a short stroll from the city centre and close to key music venues, it offers a relaxed base for exploring the city or catching your favourite artist live. With friendly staff and well-equipped rooms, this hotel makes it easy to unwind after big nights out.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits the sweet spot for music fans. You’re just a short taxi or bus ride from Belfast’s major venues, including the SSE Arena and Ulster Hall. Plus, with 24-hour reception, a 12:00 pm checkout, and a quiet residential location, it’s easy to rest up after a late night. Public transport is nearby, and the atmosphere is relaxed – ideal for decompressing post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a clean, reliable base
Solo travelers chasing that once-in-a-lifetime gig
Couples making a weekend of it in Belfast
Fans seeking peace and quiet after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant open late, the hotel offers a free hot breakfast served until late morning – perfect after a night out. You’ll find plenty of walkable pubs, cafés, and takeaways nearby in the Queens Quarter. The hotel also offers a limited bar menu and drinks in the lounge area.

Nightlife Options

You’re in one of Belfast’s most cultural districts, so there’s no shortage of local bars and live music pubs within walking distance. Whether you’re after a laid-back pint or somewhere to keep the night going, you’ll find it nearby. The hotel bar is low-key but great for a nightcap.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and great location close to both city attractions and music venues. The value for money and strong WiFi also get frequent mention, making it a favourite for both short and extended stays.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the simpler side – think functional, not flashy. There’s no gym or spa, and while the area is generally quiet, light sleepers should request a room away from the street. Still, for the price, it delivers exactly what most concert-goers need.

The Bottom Line

The Holiday Inn Express Belfast City Queens Quarter is a solid, stress-free choice for music fans looking for comfort, convenience, and great value in the heart of Belfast.

Eh

Liked: Lobby area was great and staff was great, didn't have time to use amenities but it all looked nice. Breakfast started after we had to leave to catch the ferry so we didn't get to partake which sucked but o well.
Disliked: Double room with sofa was so small and crammed for 3 people, and the view we had was just a bunch of graffitied walls in an alley. There was someone's fake eyelashes left on the crash can, ew.
