The Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast

Haslem Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is good. We stayed in an apartment, the space was big, We found some parts like the bathroom dirt and with mold. The staff are really nice. The breakfast is ok I just missed more fruits"

Marine & Lawn Slieve Donard

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the weekend at Slieve Donard Hotel for my Mum's birthday. We haven't been for a few years, and it was so lovely to be back. We booked dinner at Villa Vinci in the town and oh my - it was amazing! The staff were wonderful and the room was fantastic. One thing to note, however, is that seating in the spa is extremely limited, and it was completely full on our first day, and the jacuzzi was much the same. We returned on Monday morning at 8 am and managed to get 2 seats, but we were just lucky. It really doesn't have enough seating for a hotel of this size. The views definitely help make up for the lack of seating, though!"

Crowne Plaza Belfast by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff were lovely and helpful, we had a lovely meal in the river room which was turkey and ham so delicious. Breakfast was great and plenty of choice. Our room was excellent a standard twin with two big double beds, the room was super clean. The fridge was great to keep drinks cool. The staff work so hard and are a credit to the hotel. Really enjoyed our stay. The reception was a lovely smell when you arrive. The only thing which was disappointing was the horrendous smell in the ladies toilets in the lobby. X"
