Old bank
When we arrived unfortunately the key code did not work but we quickly got a new room. The room we were given was huge, more than we could have expected. However, the shower did not work. I did contact the manager in charge and was told that someone would be sent to fix it. We ended up having to use our friends shower.

All over-priced-fur no knickers!...
Arrival was unnecessarily complicated with no personnel onsite the entire time of our stay. Hotel come under the catagory of Hospitality industry to which there was nothing at all. The room was tidy but the blind located far left was broken with the chain detached and left on the windowsill the room was otherwise overpriced no value for money all fur no knickers sadly. It should be place within self-catering apartments not as a hotel at all. The Best Part of this hotel is that its located behind directly of the bus stop. Hospitable human interaction needed though. There is messy paintwork and the shower has a split devide within the splash back of shower where this is mildew growing.

Quirky good value hotel with home comforts
The Old Bank was a quirky independent hotel and was very friendly and clean and good value for money. Check in was simple. Staff were very helpful. Staying on your own in hotels can be awkward but I felt very at home here. I'll definitely return.

Great accommodation in Belfast.
Lovely accommodation, very helpful staff, use of a kitchen was great and it was on a bus route. Only a 20 minute walk to the city centre. Also very close to the Crumlin Rd gaol where there's a lovely restaurant, tribute nights on Saturdays and an interesting tour.

Comfy, clean, close to City
Stephen was so helpful with our stay and gave us the names of great bars to go to. Room was lovely and spacious, clean and the bed so comfy. Only issue was getting the hot water to work in the shower, ended up with cold water! Great kitchen for self catering. Would recommend to others, good value for money.
