Hotel berhampiran Katedral Quarter, Belfast

My second stay here since December 2025 & would now be my go to hotel. Location is perfect for a nice walk into into the city centre, not too far but also very convenient for the airport bus from/to Grand Central Station. Stayed in a twin this time with my young adults son, great open plan reception/bar/coffee/food area. Was having for him as he was able to use the area late at night for Uni work. Staff even asked if he was OK offering a hot beverage. Staff are extremely helpful & friendly, have received a warm welcome here both times now & wouldn't hesitate to return. Became a member of IHG so was also able to get a late check out time of 2pm, greatly appreciated 👏

My recent breakfast experience at this hotel had its ups and downs. First, the baby high chair was disappointingly dirty, even after I spent a considerable amount of time wiping it down with wet wipes, as seen in the pictures. The cleanliness standards should definitely be improved. As for the breakfast service, it left much to be desired. It felt like there was only one server handling everything, and it took a whopping 20 minutes for a simple yogurt to be served. I'm confident I could have prepared it in two minutes myself. Plus, the portion of yogurt was quite small, and the oatmeal was almost inedibly dry. However, I must admit that the full breakfast option redeemed the dining experience. In summary, while the full breakfast was enjoyable, the cleanliness of the baby high chair and the slow service for basic items like yogurt need significant improvement.

I felt kinda disappointed. Had a couple of issues with my room while I was there. The clogged drain was fixed fine. But they never did anything about the broken air conditioner unit. Very uncomfortable to sleep when the room was so hot. Even the guest service operator sounded doubtful that the maintenance team would get to it. Breakfast was decent. The offerings were the same everyday. Good option if your room rate covers that. For location it's also not as good as I hoped. This hotel seems on the map to be close to the Belfast ICC. However, its main entrance is on the complete opposite side of the building. You essentially walk entirely around the outside before reaching the ICC doors. If I return to Belfast I'll stay somewhere else.

Nice hotel,located 5 minutes walk from grand central station. Excellent buffet breakfast  Only negative was a flashing green light down low beside locker! Flashed all night long

This is my second stay at the Clayton Hotel, and overall, the experience was pleasant and the accommodations were comfortable. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, and the hotel offers good value for an overnight stay. However, I observed that the reception staff could benefit from being more attentive and proactive in assisting guests. On several occasions, it seemed that guests were not immediately acknowledged, which can leave an impression of inattentiveness — particularly for international visitors. My previous stay was three years ago, and I was hoping to see some improvement in this area. Consistent professionalism and warm hospitality at the front desk would significantly enhance the overall guest experience. I look forward to seeing positive changes on my next visit.

Loved the self-check in. I booked a cheaper room which did come with the smell of the nearby fast food place and a loud humming of an aircon (?) outside. I had another issue in my room but I alerted the management to it. Other than that, the room had a nice size and a nice bathroom. Oh, also wish they had ceramic cups for hot drinks and not just disposable ones (I don’t like pouring boiling water into single use plastic-laden cups).

The biggest drawback is its location, which is quite rural, surrounded by nature parks, and small residential towns. On the plus side, the rooms are genuinely spacious. This time, I stayed near the edge of the building, with windows on two sides. One of the windows opens to a view of distant snow-capped mountains 🏔️. Additionally, the soundproofing and cleanliness were excellent. The air control system can be a bit noisy, but once it’s turned off at night, the room is wonderfully quiet. The hotel also features its own gym and swimming pool, which include some classes, a sauna, a steam room, and a hydrotherapy pool. While it can get busy during peak hours, it never felt overcrowded. Many of the club members are local residents, and listening to their amusing banter in the steam room was quite entertaining. Staying at a hotel alone is such a blissful way to relax. When I get home, I’ve decided to upgrade my bedding and incorporate sauna sessions into my routine!

Brilliant red brick stately home type hotel. Full of charm and has a lovely front garden. You have full access to all living and dining area on the ground floor at any time, which is great for photos and relaxing. Our room was a small loft but had a great view from the bathroom of the hills over the city. The City tour bus goes past the hotel because apparently it used to be occupied by the main builder of the Titanic. It is a short walking distance to the stunning Queen's University and Botanic Gardens. Ryan's restaurant is a great shout for homely reasonably priced Irish food and drink. The lady at the front desk also gave us direct assistance to book our trip on the Causeway tour. Highly recommend.

Good budget hotel in a great location I had a pleasant stay at ibis Budget Hotel Belfast. The hotel is in a very good location, close to the city centre, shops, restaurants, and public transport. It is easy to reach and convenient for travellers. The room was clean, simple, and comfortable, perfect for a short stay. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was neat and well maintained. The hotel staff were friendly, helpful, and polite during check-in and throughout the stay. Breakfast was basic but good for the price. Overall, this is a good value-for-money hotel if you are looking for a clean, affordable place to stay in Belfast. I would recommend it for solo travellers, couples, or short business trips.

Really great stay at this hotel - short but definitely recommend! The hotel is really modern and is very central. Belfast is extremely walkable and we loved our time here. Reception team were very friendly and helpful.
