"Located in the heart of downtown, this was a quick walk from the train station. The food in the restaurant located behind the registration desk offered great food and service. The main breakfast dining room on the first floor was excellent. The property is very convenient for getting around."

Cullentra House

Cullentra House

8/10 Good
"The parking was very easy. The hostess was incredibly warm and very helpful. She welcomed us with superb cakes and tea as we checked in. Over generous amount of fresh milk in the room for hot drinks. Breakfast was very generous as well and we were not able to do it justice. Great place to stay if you exploring coastal areas in Northern Ireland. Highly recommend it."

Titanic Hotel Belfast

Titanic Hotel Belfast

8/10 Good
"This is a lovely hotel with large spacious rooms. They are quite dark and could do with better lighting. Staff are friendly and helpful. I reduced my star rating due to the bombardment of emails and messages received from this hotel before arrival. We were staying for one night and leaving at 4.40am for the airport. On the first email asking for more details from me and then trying to upsell their services, I did reply to say the circumstances of our stay meant we would not require anything extra including breakfast. The computer then generated another email every day for 18 days asking the exact same thing. Did not make me feel a valued customer, more like a target for sales. I would not return for this reason only."
