Holiday Inn Belfast City Centre by IHG
Friendly staff, easy check in, and short walk to interesting things. Great breakfast options and nice relaxed atmosphere in bar/restaurant area. Only negative would be the sofa bed in family room was not very comfortable and certainly not really big enough for two growing children!
