My wife and I loved this place. Although the finishings were a little older, it was super clean. The self check-in was super easy. We didn't see any staff other than at the bar downstairs, but our room was serviced daily. If we visit Belfast again, we would consider starting here onee more.

Perfect for a nights stay before Queens Open Day. Great location. Enjoyed lunch there and a pint. Excellent room if a little warm - though it was unseasonably hot for Belfast. A fan was provided though.

Nice facility and location
We stayed above the bar. The noise of people walking home after the bar was much worse than that of the bar music. If you syay here, play your white noise app until 6 am not just til bar close. The property is nice and the bar/food was good. We enjoyed the outdoor seating. Perhaps required pick up at the bar for the gratis beer for self check would be great as there were none in the fridge when we arrived around 5pm. I don't believe it was because staff didn't stock.

It is a bit noisy from the bar, that they did wanr us about. But nothing I really think disturbed since it closes at an decent hour during weekdays. The room was big and felt cost. Really liked this stay.

The 1852
Hotel was in an ideal spot as we were going to a gig at Boucher playing fields, its approximately a 15 minute walk from the city centre but there are taxi's if you don't fancy the walk. The area surrounding the hotel is very busy and noisy, we took ear plugs so slept soundly but without you will be kept awake. The hotel is spotless, the room was a decent size with a king size bed but mirrors/plug sockets were in the wrong places, would be better to have a mirror above the dressing table instead of the tv, and a plug for the kettle as you had to put this on the floor to be able to plug it in.

The hotel does what it says on the tin. Self checkin isn't for everyone I don't suppose but I loved it. Had my key card and was in my room on top floor within 3 mins (although may be I should have gone a bit slower, stairs were a bit much lol). Having the bars on the bottom floor did mean it wasn't the quitest area but to be honest for a city area it was fine and didn't really bother me after the first night. With the bars being owned by the same people it did make life feels a little more comfortable. I did think that the hotel tried to call me on the first night but the call came up as a different hotel so I didn't answer. It was only later I found out it was one they also own! Apologies if your reading this and it was you calling (maybe just a Voicemail would have been nice) :-) The room itself was well appointed, although I did notice the bathroom had a good amount of splash marks on the walls, nothing major but we as a bit odd putting. Unfortunately it also appears the double glazing in 320 has failed as it's constantly condensed at day or night. Not the end of the world we not the most interesting view but would have been nice to see more. All in all i'd stay again for sure :-)

The atmosphere of this hotel is actually pretty cool. It is an old building that has been made into a hotel. It is a little bit like a Beetle Juice Hotel with wonky hallways and doors and winding hallways. It makes it a pretty cool environment. I found the check-in to be really irritating. I WANT to speak with a human. I was tired and not functioning well when I arrived and was unable to complete the automated check-in process. I think that this is very impersonal.

The light switch did not work - and then when investigated only one bedside light worked. I lilked the size and cleanliness of the room; and the ease of checkin.
