Benedicts
The bright peaches and cream exterior of this unpretentious hotel gives way to a stained glass, oak and wrought iron interior. The medieval-themed bar and nightclub attract a devoted 25-55 clientele who are well up for its eighties to noughties DJ sets and Irish music sessions.  [...]

This huge, eight storey monolith is the biggest hotel in town and a great base for city centre shopping and nights on the tiles. The short stroll to Great Victoria St. Bus and Rail Station makes daytrips and International airport connections a doddle. Many of the great value bedrooms  [...]

IBIS Belfast City Centre
Rising nine storeys behind CastleCourt shopping centre is one of two new IBIS's in the city. This one is the most centrally located, with shops, restaurants, bus tours and other tourist treats mere minutes away. The hotel's arrival also marks the start of the immediate area's redevelopment. Inside, the compact yet perfectly functional rooms feature a flatscreen TV, tea and coffee-making facilities and ensuite shower room (more akin to a corner 'pod' than anything fancy). Book the top floor for great city views. Free wifi in communal areas and payable in room. Discount parking available at adjoining multi-storey car park.

Yet another fantastically located hotel: literally a minute's walk from the Grand Opera House and on the doorstep of some of the city's best shopping and nightlife.

Lansdowne Hotel
Of the few accommodation options available north of the city, this is certainly one of the best. Its Antrim Rd. location is particularly handy for bracing walks around Cavehill and Belfast Castle. For the more sedate, you're the right side of the city for easy access to the stunning Antrim Coast Ro [...]

Another great value hotel rises up in the city centre's historic heart - right next to Cathedral Quarter's bars and restaurants and a very short stroll from all the main shops, tours and attractions. Abundant with all Premier Inn's expected features, including that Good Night Guarantee or your money back, this latest arrival also offers meeting rooms, chargeable wifi access and the contemporary-style Four Corners Bar & restaurant. The sympathetically restored brickwork facade of this listed building lends the hotel a touch of elegance and continues the area's stylish renaissance. [...]
