"Thoroughly enjoyable dinner in The Great Room"

10.0

We thoroughly enjoyed dinner last Satuday evening in The Great Room. The service, food and atmosphere was excellent - perfect venue to get away from the hustle and bustle of Belfast on a Saturday evening. Thanks to all the staff for making it such a lovely experience for us both. Lamb and petit fours highly recommended. We plan to visit again.

A first class hotel in the middle of Belfast. Everything was stunning from the car parking, to the room, the bar and the breakfast. The staff were courteous and efficient.

"Not an enjoyable experience"

4.0

Have always enjoyed afternoon tea in this hotel but unfortunately on this occasion I would give it a 3 out of five. Tables squeezed together and you were able to hear other people’s conversations, not enough room on tables for all that was there. The pastries on some on of them had soggy bottoms. A cocktail afternoon tea was £124.00 I don’t mind spending the money but definitely not a five star experience . I will not be back.
