The sumptuous rooms have crisp Egyptian linens, and the elegant bathrooms feature fluffy robes and designer toiletries. All rooms have an LCD TV, air conditioning and a minibar.

The impressive hotel features designer interiors, modern artwork and colourful furnishings throughout. Guests can relax in the luxury lounge areas, and there is also a 24-hour front desk.

With an unbeatable location right in the centre of the city, this hotel is one of the first choices for travellers. It is situated in 5-7 minutes walking distance from the bus station and City Hall, and 10 minutes taxi drive to the Lanyon Place train station. The staff is friendly and helpful. We had a little misunderstanding about the exact type of the room booked, and the issue has been solved in the most professional way. Our Signature View King room was relatively spacious, and offered the promised view over the city skyline. It was handy to have a couple of bottles of complimentary water and a Nespresso machine with tabs supply. The bed deserves an extra mention - it was extremely comfortable.

    Interior design is lovely and a bit different, which we really liked. Our room was a good size and very comfortable. We had bath robes and Rituals toiletries are also included, which is a lovely touch. There was fresh bottled water in the room each day too. The bar area is comfortable and relaxing. The breakfast was fab each morning and all staff are really helpful, warm and friendly. Really close to the beautiful Botanic Gardens and the brilliant Ulster Museum.
