Haslem Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was great. Staff were very helpful. Be aware though that the parking is under the hotel so head fo for that and you can't go wrong."

ibis budget Belfast City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"As described - classic ibis budget hotel."

Second Nature Belfast

10/10 Excellent

Holiday Inn Express Belfast City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice rooms and friendly helpful staff. 15min walk int the city centre. Recommended"

Crowne Plaza Belfast by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The Staff Really make what is a Nice Hotel a Wonderful Hotel."

Burrendale Hotel Country Club & Spa

8/10 Good

"Nice facility-friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant was very good. The spa was excellent. Centrally located and an abundance of self parking. The front desk was extremely helpful in finding us another room as the first one didn’t meet our requirements. It obviously is very popular/busy as a consequence it’s looking a little tired and worn. It could use some minor maintenance-eg paint, cleaning the grout in the showers, etc. We would definitely stay at the hotel again."

Enniskeen Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay-a charming older style hotel with lots of character. The property was clean and very well maintained. Beautiful grounds and setting in the hills overlooking Newcastle-yet convenient to most everything. And the staff were super friendly and helpful. The restaurant served wonderful comfort food at a very good value. We will definitely return on a future visit."

The Briers

10/10 Excellent

"Cute home with a great Irish breakfast."

Ivanhoe Hotel

8/10 Good

"The only thing I would mention is mugs would be better than cups in the bedroom, sadly I arrived late and left early so didn't really get chance to enjoy what looks like a lovely hotel"
