Great accommodations in the heart of Belfafst
by mikeh141 about Holiday Inn Belfast
The Holiday Inn was the perfect place to stay in Belfast. On Ormeau Avenue, it's just feet from the Golden Mile (a location whose significance is called into question by everyone we wpoke to in Belfast) - but it's at the heart of the city. You're a 10 minute walk from city hall and the whole of the downtown area, and in the other direction, you're just a few short blocks from the quieter parts of Belfast with relaxing pubs and storefronts with homemade food. Room was unexpectedly comfortable, and the room service was both tasty and inexpensive. Get out of the room, though, and explore!
Fabulous on a budget

We booked the Holiday Inn Belfast because of its position in the centre of the city, near the BBC. Everything was accessible from this point and the rooms were spot on.
We did have a little trouble at first while booking in as we were told we could only have a twin room and a double room even though we had booked two doubles, but this was soon sorted.
The rooms were plenty big enough for two people with coffee cups and a kettle.
Visitors could also use the hotel's pool free of charge and could also book in for treatments in the spa.
As we arrived very early on the Friday morning staff allowed us to leave bags and cases at the hotel until we could check in which was very useful.
Definitely a hotel we would recommend to other travellers to the city.
Excellent Hotel
by TripAdvisor Member BrianW01
Superb hotel. Excellent rooms - large, clean, comfortable and modern decor. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Superb location in the city centre.
Excellent buffet breakfast - help yourself to as much or as little as you want. Good quality food. Nice laid back bar/lounge which stays open late for residents. Resonable prices.
Strongly Recommended

Just returned from a long weekend at the HI Belfast and i thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation and breakfast on offer. The location is spot on, only a few minutes walk from the city centre.
I stayed in an executive room - not the biggest executive room I have stayed in but modern, quiet and clean. It also included some nice touches such as cheese, wine, chocolate, robes, ironing board, air con etc. Only thing missing was an in room safe - yes you can leave items at reception in sealed bags (which is fine for keys or passports which you may not used during your stay but it can become a little inconvenient queueing for bags to open and reseal when you want money etc).
Buffet breakfast was plentiful, tasty and situated in a clean and light room - well worth getting a rate including this as generally this tends to be cheaper. I found the staff were more than helpful - I was pleasantly surprised given some of the adverse comments in previous reviews.
Leisure facilities of pool, gym and steam room were up to the necessary standard and added to the facilities on offer. I didnt sample the evening food as i always prefer to sample the local restaurants, which do not disappoint in Belfast.
I would happily recommend this hotel to others if you can get a rate below the rack rate (which shouldnt be too much of a problem!)
Avoid like the plague.

The rooms at this hotel are very good - the new style holiday inn's rooms. That is about all that is good. The customer service is absolutely appalling. Reception staff are abrupt, waiting staff are down right rude and if ever you have the pleasure of returning late at night you will be greated by security who are extremely aggressive and appear that they have just been released from prison. Avoid!!!! The four star Europa is just around the corner. Smaller rooms but I can guarantee a better experience.
never again
by TripAdvisor Member dend
just back from this hotel and I won't be back. The room had a huge stain on the sofa, the carpet and cushions were also stained. The overall theme was shabby to say the least. We waited 20mins at the check in desk, where the staff were offhand and unfriendly. The breakfast was quite good and the bed comfortable and it is very central to shopping area but I will go back to the Radisson.
Very poor customer service
by TripAdvisor Member maccy22
The customer service in this hotel is shocking. A group of us stayed there recently. We were not all able to check in at midday as some rooms were not yet available. However when we returned in the early evening we were informed that the hotel was full, even though the room had been booked and paid for weeks earlier. Our group got split up and had to stay in separate places - never again!
