“This Belfast hotel stands out for its modern, well-maintained studios and apartments, some featuring fully equipped kitchens, plus it's a short walk to the city centre and close to numerous bars and restaurants. I particularly like the additional perks, such as on-site pub crawls and express check-in; expect clean, comfortable accommodation with consistently helpful service. It's a solid choice for those wanting both convenience and a bit of local flavour.”
