Easy check in other than the card scanner wasn’t working at the time but the staff came and helped us! Also no elevator lots of stairs if your staying on top floor like us ! So if you have lots of baggage and aren’t young and able to lift it up may be something to take into consideration. Rooms were spotless, beds comfortable, set with everything you need.. free water bottles, a couple snacks, toiletries… 10/10! Only complaint is the room gets pretty hot and opening the window/ turning on the small fan doesn’t help. And it wasn’t hot weather during our stay just the building was stuffy and hot!

Situated above a really cool pub, with a free beer on arrival. Negatives view from window was a wall and and ally. Not much could be helped about it though. Parking was on street in a slightly rougher street. Overall a good stay for the budget price.

We were able to get a free parking spot on the street which was very nice. Check in was incredibly easy. The beer was very welcome. Only issue which would probably rarely be an issue for anyone else was the unseasonably warm weather, no air conditioning, and the windows would not open. There was a small fan that helped.

Absolute bargain price. Room was described as above the bar and may be noisy. We stayed a Sunday and Monday night, noise eas acceptable and did not disturb us. What did disturb us was the awful smell of smoke from the folks outside. This didnt happen on the Sunday night as the bar wasnt as busy and possibly no smokers. But the Monday evening, it was sickening. The room has no air conditioning and we had left the window open all day on Monday as we had been warm on the Sunday night. So, when we returned on Monday evening at 10pm......eeeeuuugghh.

We had excellent raps nearby, and the are is very walkable. Highly recommend a walk through the botanical gardens. **warning - after 8am you have to buy a parking ticket if you’re parked on street! We didn’t understand the signage and paid a hefty price for ir**

Basically it is a building with a bar and the hotel rooms. So music was pretty loud at night. At least they could just turn off the speaker at the entrance. Anyways, music from the speaker is pretty loud. except that, everything else was good. Clean and cozy and hot water.

My wife and I loved this place. Although the finishings were a little older, it was super clean. The self check-in was super easy. We didn't see any staff other than at the bar downstairs, but our room was serviced daily. If we visit Belfast again, we would consider starting here onee more.

Room smelt a bit like sick when we arrived. Few hairs on the bath towels but just picked them off. If your looking for an early night I highly recommend you stay elsewhere as the bar/restaurant music is on until late at night and the thumping can be heard through earplugs. We were on the 3rd floor so this tells u how loud the music is. Put the service sign on the door early in the morning and came back to the room not being cleaned or serviced so had to go out to buy some water. Other than these few bad points the room we were in was a nice layout and spacious. They self check is easy and quick to use and great for those who are not people persons. There’s free beer you can take from the fridge in the lobby area before you head upstairs which is lovely. Would stay here again if it wasn’t for the music thumping for hours.

Very spacious room, very clean, good location. My issues had to do with the heater, either the heater wasn’t working effectively or the room was too big for one heater. Secondly there wasn’t enough light in the room, they only had just 2 bed side lamps, that definitely cant be enough to illuminate such a big room. Thirdly the property needs an elevator. Aside those issues, I enjoyed my stay.

Liked it overall even though it was a different type check in experience. to improve, please also send a PIN with passcode since both are required to do self check in process or it puts you into a weird loop of errors when you start with passcode but (through trial and error figured out) you have to delete passcode if logging in by last name. Anyway, we older and not totally tech savvy folks figured it out and then it was simple. (So simple that we did it again when hubby lost the key when getting a massage nearby. LOL) Or maybe he just pretended to lose it so he could check-in again and reward himself with another free beer (great idea to reward the self check-in process with a free beer!!) The room was HUGE and very comfortable. Hubby really appreciated the fan to help cool it off since we had to close the windows to sleep (bar/restaurant downstairs had noise that traveled up with windows open). We had drinks at the bar downstairs and sat at tables along the sidewalk to people watch. I appreciated the on-demand heater above each table to keep me warm while sipping cold drinks. Enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic location within walking distance of city centre and Queens University/Methodist College. Nice bohemian feel to the area with wide food choice. Even though room was situated over a busy bar with music (we were on 2nd floor), it was quiet and had extra bonus of a cushioned window seat so you could sit and watch life go by. Didn’t use the TV but think all options were available including Netflix. For self check in the process was well communicated and easy to follow, but unfortunately the “free” beer reward was unforthcoming. Bed nice and comfy and tea/coffee making facilities in the room with water a nice touch. Could add more milk.

The atmosphere of this hotel is actually pretty cool. It is an old building that has been made into a hotel. It is a little bit like a Beetle Juice Hotel with wonky hallways and doors and winding hallways. It makes it a pretty cool environment. I found the check-in to be really irritating. I WANT to speak with a human. I was tired and not functioning well when I arrived and was unable to complete the automated check-in process. I think that this is very impersonal.

Awesome stay, loved the self check-in and the beer fridge in the check-in area from which you can help yourself to a chilled, refreshing bottle of lager - perfect after travelling. Room was situated on the first floor, above the bar and overlooking the street. Excellent sized room, good en-suite and amazing shower. As you’d expect being directly above the bar meant that you could hear the noise from below. The bar closes at midnight and for me this wasn’t an issue as I was heading out to the theatre and planned to have a pint of Guinness (or two) on my return. The room has a great vue of the street and there’s a wee sitting area in the window. It was from this vantage point that I enjoyed my complimentary beverage whilst watching the world go by. Ideally located for visiting Queen’s University and this area, about a 20 minute walk to the centre of Belfast and close to one of Belfast’s train stations. Will definitely stay here again.
