The lack of reception staff was a little strange but I never had any problems so this was fine

The hotel was excellent. It was clean and had everything you need in the room Fan Iron Ironing board every was perfect. Staff fantastic especially Ciara she was a wonderful help. Thanks

Perfect little spot outside the city centre but close enough to walk (10 mins max) and plenty to do nearby. Issue with the shower temp was sorted within the day and coming back to a cleaned room every night Would definitely come back to 1852! :)

Very nice - recommend doing the pre-check in service as it’s much quicker.

The room was lovely and clean and the staff were very friendly!

Best people! Best property! Book this!!

All good very close to everything

Great place to stay in Belfast! Good location with plenty to eat and drink nearby. 20 mins walk from cathedral quarter. Clean and comfy bed, free beer when you walk in. You cant go wrong.

Room smelt a bit like sick when we arrived. Few hairs on the bath towels but just picked them off. If your looking for an early night I highly recommend you stay elsewhere as the bar/restaurant music is on until late at night and the thumping can be heard through earplugs. We were on the 3rd floor so this tells u how loud the music is. Put the service sign on the door early in the morning and came back to the room not being cleaned or serviced so had to go out to buy some water. Other than these few bad points the room we were in was a nice layout and spacious. They self check is easy and quick to use and great for those who are not people persons. There’s free beer you can take from the fridge in the lobby area before you head upstairs which is lovely. Would stay here again if it wasn’t for the music thumping for hours.

Super views, super clean, super comfortable

Lovely hotel, easy sel check-in with a complimentary beer on arrival - winner! Nice spacious room with everything you need, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, coffee making facilities. Lovely shower, comfy bed. Good location, slightly out of city centre, about a 15 minute walk, but lots to see en route. Train station across the road, £2.20 return to the titanic museum. We flew into Belfast international airport and got the bus here, £7.50 pp, very easy.

Nice big room with very little furniture. Only one chair. Needs at least some hooks on walls. Lovely window bench though not very comfortable. Perfect location across from Botanic train station and close (5 min walk) to McCombs tour office if you are taking their tour.

Everyone was struggling with the self check in for different reasons. Hotel was more like a youth hostel. Taped old carpets, sealed bathroom windows, filthy windows, paper thin walls, dark grey walls, no pictures. Kettle had to be put on floor to plug it in. Shower leaked. Two staff were helpful, 2 others not at all. Won’t go back.

It was probably our fault for not researching better but this is a very student centric area. The hotel has been painted outside black now which, in my opinion, gives more of a ‘feel’ for the hotel! At 57 I felt we were about 25 years too old!! It was very noisy until 4am. We didn’t fly until 6pm so asked if we could leave our luggage, ‘Yes, of course, we are here from 10am but before that there’s a night porter’ Please be aware this is a ‘contactless hotel’ which meant when we needed to leave for a tour we were told the night porter finishes at 8am on a Sunday and the other staff don’t start until 10am!!! Doesn’t help us…. No help, just that is how it is!!!

Great location. Comfortable updated room. Easy check in and out. Only dislike is the room did not have enough lighting. It was very dark.

The idea for a self-check in is a good one but when you are told numerous times you will receive an email 24 hours before to prepare for check in and don’t receive it this is annoying. This means you have to stand completing all the info at the front door of the hotel on an iPad. The phone which was meant to be to call for assistance no one answered. Thankfully I managed to find the email from when I booked 9 months prior with enough info to progress the check in but it was more time consuming than it needed to be. The quirk of a free beer for using self check in is a nice one but perhaps cater for those who don’t drink too such as a soft drink. The staff at the bar were really friendly and helpful and stored our luggage for us on early arrival and departure. The room was average, smelt a little musty and the bathroom was dated. Our room had a broken shower head with a piece just left in the bath. Thankfully the pressure and temperature were still good. Could do with an update though and to fix broken items. Oddly there were no main lights in the room and so light was reliant on lamps, this inadequate.

The area was lovely and convenient. Self check in went well . The room was great but very very hot and the window did not open . I would suggest more lighting it was quite dark .

Liked it overall even though it was a different type check in experience. to improve, please also send a PIN with passcode since both are required to do self check in process or it puts you into a weird loop of errors when you start with passcode but (through trial and error figured out) you have to delete passcode if logging in by last name. Anyway, we older and not totally tech savvy folks figured it out and then it was simple. (So simple that we did it again when hubby lost the key when getting a massage nearby. LOL) Or maybe he just pretended to lose it so he could check-in again and reward himself with another free beer (great idea to reward the self check-in process with a free beer!!) The room was HUGE and very comfortable. Hubby really appreciated the fan to help cool it off since we had to close the windows to sleep (bar/restaurant downstairs had noise that traveled up with windows open). We had drinks at the bar downstairs and sat at tables along the sidewalk to people watch. I appreciated the on-demand heater above each table to keep me warm while sipping cold drinks. Enjoyed our stay.

As always a great place to stay. Nice to be in botanic- always reminiscent of uni days but in a much more comfortable room!

Great place to stay, and area around is lovely and lively. Lots of restaurants and bars, just don’t be afraid to walk the opposite way from the downtown core. The university district is great, and you can find charming pubs such as the Jeggy Nettle (highly recommend for a late pint)

Our room was BOILING hot. When i called and asked for another fan, it never came. The beers that were complimentary were also warm and disgusting, so not much of a perk. Self check in was a nightmare, and I'm only 28. I cant imagine someone older than me trying to navigate that

Rooms was to warm,but other than that room was nice with comfy bed.

Lovely big bed, big shower, clean and well-equipped. Would have been good to have had air conditioning as the weather was particularly hot but at least a decent fan was provided and the room cooled down quickly enough. Bed very comfy. A shelf in the bathroom for toiletries would be useful. Great location for walking into the city (15 mins) and to Ormeau Park (20mins). Free bottles of beer in the reception an added bonus 😁

For me 74 year old. It’s too hard to come upstairs. There’s no elevator. I got the floor. But thank you manager transfer me to another hotel. Thank you for that.

We could NOT Locate property because it’s above the bar. Finally walked & found it . Parking is all on street parking & we were afraid to leave the rental. Not bad area , we decided NOT to stay because we were not sure of security with 2 women by themselves. NOT sure there was any staff at all in the place at nighttime. Wouldn’t even issue a refund for second prepaid night. There are lots of rooms in Belfast …got a keep last minute rate at the Hampton INN.

What a stupid hotel. Two bars downstairs playing music so loud until 3am that my whole body was vibrating along to the music. Until 3am!!! The bed was shaking. The windows rattling. They eventually moved us up one floor which helped with the vibrating room but was then half the size (which kind of mattered with four women)!

The area was nosy, even with heating off room was hot because you could not get sufficient ventilation. Lighting was very poor in the main room. All other thing was good entry was simple. You would need aircon in the summer because the room was at the top of the house.

For the price you couldn’t beat it. Close to rail line. Water in room and a nice touch with a free beer for checking in

Great place and location

Great hotel and great location. Easy to self check in.

The rooms were spacious, however the lightening was poor. Lighter rooms would help thd atmosphere

No breakfast available but Maggie mays across from the hotel. It’s was a nice experience. Netflix in all rooms. Great value highly recommend.
