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.

Nightlife Options

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. The hotel itself doesn’t host live music, but the vibe outside your door more than makes up for it.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel's easy self check-in process and stylish, clean rooms. Many praise the location as a perfect base for exploring Belfast’s music and nightlife scene. The on-site café also gets high marks for its coffee and food.

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.

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.

Liked: Loved the check in. Easy.
Disliked: No lift. Carry your bags. Sucks if you’re on the third floor!!!(which I was). Room not cleaned the same way. Had tea on first day and the used cup and used tea bags stayed for 2 days.

Large and comfortable rooms

Liked: Rooms were very spacious and beds were super comfortable. Location was great for the city centre. We arrived really early and we were able to leave our bags at the hotel which was another bonus.
Disliked: The self check in tablets were not working so we had to use the phone next to them to check in but this was easy so not a huge issue.

The hotel location was excellent.

Liked: The location was excellent
Disliked: A couple of days before arriving we were told there would be a room to securely leave our luggage but this was not the case. Our luggage was left in the corner of a busy bar and thankfully was still there when we returned.
