"This property is set in beautiful grounds with fantastic view's of the mourne mountains, food choices were good maybe new pillows but thats my opinion. Overall very happy with our stay and will go back soon I hope "
"Was not sure what to expect as last minute decision to stay but we were very happy with the tucked away room we got. Lovely fit out / safe etc pub food was really appreciated as well. Would stay at again."
"Lovely apartment. We had a really nice few days here. No allocated parking, but we never had a problem finding a space close by. Good to have a shop so close (literally under our feet.)
Facilities were good; enough kitchen utensils, pans, etc. that we could cook meals with no problems. Nice bathroom and excellent lounge area. Seating area and space outside as well if the weather permits.
Nice area to walk around as well, with harbour and coast very close by.
The location is a bit off the beaten...

"Great eco-hotel in the heart of downtown Belfast. Walking distance to the bus station and to the city’s main attractions. We stayed in a room with a loft bed for our 10-year-old - he had a great time. Rooms have full kitchens and thoughtful messaging around conserving natural resources. A great find!"
"Clean, friendly staff, comfy and had everything we needed for a night to go see the lemonheads on their European tour. Very central and close to the venue "
"Had a good stay hotel staff very friendly and nice, bar staff very unfriendly namely the food and beverage supervisor seemed like he didn’t want to be there standing behind the bar and not serving customers or picking and choosing who to serve first needs to be retrained on customer service and be more welcoming. This happened on the 15/8/25 and I think it could be a reason the bar was quiet at that time."
