They’re known for their award-winning specialty coffee, and breakfast is available even for late risers. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the area is packed with walkable eateries that stay open late.

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.

All of our group were...

Liked: Great location, nice food in the bar, spacious rooms and surprisingly quiet
Disliked: Have a nervousness about fires and was concerned that the bedroom window opening was not possible to exit through. There were fire exits on the corridor - so no doubt this met fire regs.

OK for one night but...

Liked: Staff in the bar were friendly, but unable to (or did not) help us to reset the code on the safe. It was not usable during our stay. Bed was comfy. Wifi OK but open network. Good location.
Disliked: Room was quite basic and small for the price. Inadequate hanging/storage space for clothes. Tea/coffee making facilities provided but had to place kettle on floor to plug in. No shelf/hanging space in (small) bathroom. Overall, it felt like the furnishings were minimal and cheap. Unfortunately there was a heatwave while we sere there and the room was hot. Opening the window let in a constant noise from nearby air conditioning on adjacent buildings.
