The Spotlight on The Flint

Modern Style Meets Music-Lover Convenience in Belfast

The Flint is a contemporary, apartment-style hotel tucked in the heart of Belfast, just a short walk from major concert venues like The Waterfront Hall and the buzzing Cathedral Quarter. With minimalist design, smart in-room amenities, and a city-central location, it's a smart pick for music fans who want both comfort and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than a 10-minute stroll from key live music venues and nightlife spots. That means no expensive taxis or long walks after a show. Soundproofed rooms and blackout curtains help you recover after a late night, while the 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before the gig. Plus, with free high-speed WiFi and smart TVs in every room, you can stream tunes and prep your setlist in style.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a sleek space to crash that’s close to the action
- Solo travelers ticking a concert off their bucket list
- Couples combining live music with a romantic city break
- Fans who want a quiet, comfy base to recharge
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a touch of style

Food and Drink Options

While The Flint doesn’t have an on-site restaurant or bar, each room comes with a fully equipped kitchenette — including a dishwasher, oven, and kettle — perfect for post-concert snacks or breakfast on your schedule. You're also steps away from the Linen Quarter and St. George’s Market, packed with late-night eateries and brunch spots.

Nightlife Options

The hotel is a short walk to Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, known for its buzzing bars, live music pubs, and cocktail lounges. Whether you're up for an afterparty or a mellow nightcap, you’re in the right place. While there’s no bar on-site, the central location makes up for it.

What People Say

Travelers love the hotel’s clean and modern rooms, super central location, and value for money. Many reviews mention how convenient it is for attending events and exploring the city on foot. The in-room kitchen facilities are a big plus for longer stays or those on a tighter budget.

Areas for Improvement

During exterior renovations (until July 1st, 2023), some rooms may have a view of scaffolding — though the hotel has been upfront about it. Also, there’s no on-site bar or restaurant, so you’ll need to venture out for meals and drinks (luckily, you won’t have to go far).

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a stylish, central, and affordable base in Belfast, The Flint hits all the right notes.

Good room, pictures misleading

Liked: Room and location etc good
Disliked: Pictures a bit misleading as what looks like a “lobby / hotel bar” is actually a completely separate restaurant. Could not get a table to eat hence there is no where in the hotel to sit around, have to stick to the room.

Fantastic stay in central Belfast.

Liked: The staff were amazing and were very knowledgable about where to go and how to get to the music spots and attractions. The hotel is very central. The free laundry was a real bonus and set us up for moving on to more travels. It ticked all our boxes.
Disliked: The hotel is very difficult to find. Perhaps some more signage out front with the name of the hotel on it or info that it is next to the Amelia Hall would make it easier to find.

We'd stay again. Great restaurant...

Liked: Location was perfect. We had to catch an early bus to Dublin the following morning. It was 100 steps from the hotel.The little kitchen was perfect. We cooked our breakfast before we left. While our room ws labeled as "obstructed view" it mean it was off the busy street and dead quiet. We needed that.
Disliked: nothing

Central location with discounted garage...

Liked: Great location in the heart of Belfast. Easy walking access to all the sights. Parking is discounted by the hotel at two recommended covered parking garages. We parked just 3 minutes walk straight down Grosvenor Street at Value Car Park garage. Two nights at about 25 U.S. dollars (discounted). Very friendly staff willing to do all they can to make the stay pleasant. They even called the room a few hours after check-in to makes sure everything was ok. Appreciated the kitchenette which we utilized for our meals as we decided to shop at Tesco and Pret for breakfast items and dinner salads. (Dining out is expensive most anywhere these days!) Adjacent is a restaurant/bar/lounge where you can relax with a beverage, snack or meal, but of course there are places all over the place where you can to the same. If it's a rainy day it's nice to stay near.
Disliked: Only one suggestion: we stayed in room #303, seems the wooden floors, which add to the character could be mopped/cleaned occasionally. They are swept/vacuumed but could be cleaned, in my opinion. Only a consideration.
