Belfast and related destinations

Wander through the Victorian splendor of City Hall, where the marble staircase seems designed specifically for dramatic entrances. Titanic Belfast tells the famous ship's story in the very docks where it was built, with exhibits that manage to be both heartbreaking and fascinating. The Crown Liquor Saloon remains gloriously unchanged since 1885 – a cathedral to the art of drinking with carved mahogany booths and stained glass. The Ulster Museum houses everything from Egyptian mummies to modern art in a building that can't decide if it's classical or contemporary. At St. George's Market, locals debate politics over Belfast baps while browsing stalls selling everything from antiques to artisanal cheese.

"Location was very convenient for walking about and catching public transportation. A quick six minute walk from the train/bus station as well. Felt very safe in the area. The staff were lovely. The bed was comfy and the room was very clean. Was also nice having the coffee shop right next-door. One thing to note is that the rooms are very compact, but at least there is room for two suitcases to slide under the bed. So it was a great choice for location and price for two of us for a couple of nights."

Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a better deal for your stay in a Belfast hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and sometimes better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable.
  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it often comes with higher costs. For more affordable options, you might consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and ease of access to the sights you intend to visit. You could also explore independent hotels located further out, which are usually likely to be more affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
