East End4 nights2.0 star property8.0/10 - Very good (2 reviews)"The guy at the reception counter was incredibly nice - he helped me out with the wifi situation. The wifi wasn't working for a couple of days and I had to use my data (boo) but that's not their fault - I just took it up w/ IT. The rooms were nice and felt secure as a student travelling abroad. It was close to downtown which was a perk - everything was within walking distance. I'd definitely recommend this place to future student travelers."Reviewed October 22, 2026Return • Belfast (BFS) - Glasgow (GLA)BFS - GLA • Direct GLA - BHD • Direct€358€267found 1 day agoper traveller - Student Only West End
