The Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast
Lovely stay overall at a beautiful hotel in a great location. Our room was very clean and spacious with great amenities, and a turn-down service. The bar was a real highlight with live music, delicious cosmopolitans, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Unfortunately, roadworks outside hit a pipe ...

The Ulsterville Residences
Quite simply a really good place to stay - beautiful building - well kept and maintained inside and out. Spacious - so much better than a hotel room. Close to the centre, but far enough out to park a car without issue.
