Holiday Inn Belfast City Centre by IHG
The room was large and spotlessly clean. Staff were friendly and helpful for the whole of our stay and we even managed to snag a very early check in! The breakfast, although a little pricey, was plentiful, hot and delicious.

Hilton Belfast hotel
Irritated at check in when the hotel wouldn’t take Amex. I was told the POS hadn’t been functioning properly for a week. Hmmm
