The 30 Best Motel in Belfast

“Stayed here a few times for work. The rooms are varied but the last one I had was enormous and very cosy. The cooked breakfast is excellent too, the food was good quality. However the continental breakfast was a bit lacking, better pastries and some more dietary options are needed! I had to ask specifically for non dairy milk (come on, it's so common) and no non dairy options on the table for yoghurt or milk.”

“Great hotel, and I love that it's kid-friendly, with many families with small kids around. Starting with the room, it's a great space. The temperature is perfect – not too hot, not too cold – and it's late October. The restaurant was fine. The food was good, and the staff was great. They had a Halloween event this weekend, and it was the highlight of the hotel. It was just amazing! The kids loved it, and we did too. There was a Halloween disco and then a pumpkin carving with a bouncing castle. Such a great time! I love this event and we will definitely come back for more.”

“Very nice little place on a quiet residential street about a mile and a half from the city centre. Plenty of shops nearby including a couple of large supermarkets, it's near a park and in easy reach of Yorkgate train station and local buses. Great value for money.”

“We stayed for our friend’s wedding, which was amazing. The staff were all lovely and always smiling, and the rooms were gorgeous. The food at the wedding was amazing. The rooms were lovely and well looked after. However there was a lot of hair on the bed and found on the shower head and inside the bottom of the Dyson hair dyer. The fridge in the room was a nice add, however when we checked out the prices it put us off completely. £3.50 for Pringles which you could get a big box of Pringles at the shop for £2.00. On the bright side, we went for lunch the following day and it was gorgeous. We had strawberry daiquiris for £15.00, which was a bit pricey, but they were so nice that we still bought them. However, if someone is paying to stay, they expect decent prices.”

“I attended an event at The Balmoral Hotel on Saturday, organised by my jiu-jitsu club, and it couldn’t have gone better. The place itself is beautiful and has a real sense of occasion about it. The staff were fantastic – friendly, attentive, and clearly take pride in what they do. Everything ran seamlessly from start to finish, and the food was spot on. You could tell a lot of care went into making sure the night was enjoyable for everyone. It’s rare to find a venue that delivers across the board like that. I’d definitely recommend The Balmoral to anyone planning an event or looking for somewhere impressive to celebrate.”

“Visited for 1 night, wished I'd stayed a bit longer on trip! I was warned in advance room was above a bar, was not an issue as was attending a concert and by the time I got back to the hotel, all the noise of the evening had gone. Ideal location for anyone visiting Ulster Hall, was a 10 minute walk. Room was huge! Beds were huge the bathroom was huge! Very spacious room. Big opening windows and thick blackout curtains. Shower was excellent - had a big overhead rainfall head as well as detachable hose. Temperature and pressure were great. Variety of toiletries provided along with towels, hairdryer and iron and ironing board if you like that kind of thing. Check-in was self check in via a touch screen, easy to work and then a free beer as a reward! There is no lift in the building, my room was 3 flights up, so not suitable if not able to use stairs. Excellent, can't fault and would stay again and recommend.”

“currently here on business for 3weeks, stayed here before, the rooms are brilliant and the food is fantastic. But i have to mention William, he is front of house and cannot do enough for you, as soon as you enter the building this guys is here to help. he is professional and always has a smile on his face. from checking in to sitting down for a meal to checking out he cannot do enough. he is a credit to the company”

“Town house was in a perfect location and in the centre of everything which was great and we're very happy with this. Rooms were smaller than we thought, but overall we cant complain with the price and location. Staff who we dealt with on our 2 nights stay were very helpful and very professional and nice without any hassle.”

“We found this lovely Bar , sat outside for Guinness and Cocktails. Great sounds from playlist Super friendly and efgicient staff & amazing vast choice of Cocktails Top Place.”

“Some reviews have mentioned that the rooms are small, however our room (number 5) was very spacious. Beds were comfortable and it even had access to the balcony/fire exit. The bathroom was clean and modern. Breakfast was adequate for our needs and the staff were friendly and were eager to help. Our only downside would be perhaps the WiFi signal was weak in our room and was unreliable at times. Lastly, the breakfast from 8-10am is a bit late, it would've been helpful if it was earlier as we were heading out for a day trip first thing in the morning.”

“This hotel was recently renovated. I have stayed in many many hotels, this one was by far the best for this price point. In fact I've paid 3x the cost for rooms half as good. The room was incredible, the bed was perfect, and the included breakfast was spectacular. The staff were super friendly. Huge TV in the room with great connectivity. Fast wifi. The shower had 2 heads and the pressure was incredible. I hope I get to stay here again before I leave Ireland. I've never been more refreshed from a hotel stay.”

“Good location designer outlet within walking distance 12 minutes from Belfast International Airport Large ASDA across road . Rooms ok depending on were the room is situated can be very noisy if rooms are situated adjacent or above the main entrance”

“Following a minor car accident. I quickly booked a room for the night as I was stranded. On arriving at the hotel I found out that I had booked a room for the next evening and that there were no rooms available. I didn't know what to do as it was the early hours of the morning. The staff in Lisburn couldn't have been more helpful. They allowed me to sit in the lobby until a more decent hour when I would be able to get transport home. Dawn and Natasha helped me to relax after the stressful incident, made me tea and chatted to me during the night. They were absolutely wonderful and showed that they genuinely cared about me even though I wasn't a guest at the hotel. I can't thank them enough. I watched them showing the same kindness to the other guests as they started to get ready for their day. Fabulous ladies.”

“This is a great hotel. We've stayed here before but it was over 20 years ago and I think it was called the Crescent Townhouse then. The staff were great, friendly and welcoming. I have allergies and so asked to have hypoallergenic pillows and this was no problem. I wish I had also asked to have all the bedding replaced as the duvet was down filled but ghat was my fault for not thinking to ask. The free beer in the fridge as you enter the hotel is a lovely touch. You can opt for a discounted room above the bar but we chose not to. There was still noise but this didn't affect us too much. The staff in the bar were also great.”

“Stayed here the night before my wedding on the 15th November and stayed the night of the wedding 16th November and stormont hotel went above and beyond for us. Nothing was any trouble at all! The room was absolutely beautiful. Got little congratulations cupcakes to come to also! Was such an amazing stay! wish I could give more stars! ❤️”

“Our choice for the days we spend in Belfast, the house is beautiful, it is a 35-40 minute walk from the city center but it is an entertaining walk. The area is good and there is a shopping center nearby with different supermarkets and restaurants.”

“Excellent food and the service was first class. No better place for lunch.”

“Perfect place to stay for a city break. Rooms are basic but warm and comfortable. Free use of a shared kitchen is genius. Short walk to all attractions. Great VFM would stay here again”

“We have stayed here a number of times whilst visiting family. A professional and friendly welcome every time. The staff can't do enough for you and nothing is too much bother. The staff always have a cheerful manner. The food is well presented and very tasty. The rooms are comfortable and cleaned daily. Breakfast is full of variety and again well presented and tasty. There is a large sitting area where you can sit and enjoy a drink from the bar including teas or coffees. The area also has tables for meals.the hotel adjoins the Botanic Inn which also has an outdoor sitting area with a van to buy a burger and chips etc if you so desire. The hotel is placed well for access to the city either by walking or getting a bus 50yards down the road, and opposit for coming back. Visit the museum in the park just down the road near the Queens uni. I did have a wobble moment about adding this review as we may not manage to get a room in the future if people read how good it is.”

“It wasn't a hotel as such, it was very peaceful and quiet the views were stunning of Strangford lough and the surrounding area,”

“Great, cosy, comfortable b&b. Amy and Marian are lovely hostesses. Basic but plenty for serve yourself breakfast.”

“Me and my partner spent a wonderful night in the Cosy Town House. Thomas welcomed us with open harms, and went out of his way to accommodate us. The home is indeed cosy and also immaculately clean. Highly recommended! Carlotta and Stefano”

“Lovely two bedroom well appointed period style apartment. Located in a mature residential area, just a 10 min drive into Belfast city centre with lots of facilities nearby. Our host was superb. Would highly recommend.”

“Cosy and posh place. Recommended to everyone!”

“Based on some of the reviews we weren't expecting much, but it was such a pleasant surprise. I don't know what went wrong when some others had problems checking in, getting the code for the doors etc because it all went smooth for us. The room was clean and tidy, there were towels provided for the private bathroom. There was a kitchen and common area as well. One thing to mention though... After we got all the texts regarding check in + codes to the house and room, we got another text on WhatsApp asking to enter my card-details again, even though I had already paid. I ignored the message because it felt a bit shady. Apparently it wasn't necessary since nothing happened. Just a heads up. Otherwise great value for money.”
