You're just minutes from Belfast’s top bars, pubs, and nightclubs. Whether you’re after a pint with live local music, a cozy cocktail lounge, or a high-energy club, you’ll find something within 5 minutes’ walk.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms can be on the smaller side, and since the hotel is in a lively area, light sleepers might want to pack earplugs. There’s also no elevator, so those with heavy luggage should be prepared for stairs.

David, Newtownbutler, visiting Belfast Empire Tue, 1 February 2022

This hotel is trendy, clean and in an excellent location; staff are friendly and would highly recommend it. Probably suits the younger generation best. Very pleasant experience and a great price.

Liked: All check in, room and bar food/drink was smooth and very good. Straight accross from the Empire music venue and easy on street parking.
Disliked: No lift after a few drinks to top floor but not really a problem.

Very basic but comfortable stay...

Liked: Really like the location easy to explore the city on foot.
Disliked: The lack of basic facilities. A mini fridge or microwave would be amazing. Even providing proper cups as opposed to paper cups for the price we paid to stay.

Great fun place to stay!

Liked: Quirky hotel. You get a free beer after self check-in. Comfy bed and spacious room, coffee/tea provided. Everything worked. Good location, close to train station and many restaurants/coffee shops and sights. Also, a wonderful view from the window! Overall I enjoyed my stay and would stay again!
Disliked: Only downside was the noise coming from the street outside and the restaurant/bar, which is open until 2 am. If you are a light sleeper make sure to bring earplugs. Many stairs to climb up to the 3rd floor.
