Maldron Hotel Belfast City

10/10 Excellent

Crowne Plaza Belfast by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel - this was our 3rd stay. Pool / Sauna / Gym facilities spot on. Food is a bit pricey but delicious. Ideal location We will be back - Thankyou John & Lauren"

La Mon Hotel And Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay! The hotel was beautiful, spotless, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The reception team were fabulous, the pub and bar staff were so kind and brilliant with the children, and the breakfast team were extremely helpful. The pool staff were also fantastic and made us feel very welcome. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We had a lovely time and would definitely stay again!"

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."

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"
